Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Oh nonna, so sad that your dear mum has passed away. You'll be pleased though that you were able to spend a little time with her before she left ...... even if she appeared not to recognise your presence, she may well have been aware of it. Thinking and praying for you and your family xx

Nonna, just read your post. Try to think of all the times your mum made you laugh. Maureen whittles about not visiting Ken in the last few weeks (she couldn't anyway) and thinks he would have been alone and confused. Although your mum didn't speak Italian, care and compassion doesn't need a language to express itself. Look after yourself (and your family) You are in our prayers. Phil

That's sad nonna... heartfelt condolences...

Oh Nonna, such sad news. Roger and I send our sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family, you’re in our thoughts. May your dear Mum rest in peace xx

Truly sorry to hear that, Nonna. Sincere condolences to you and the rest of the family.

Dearest Nonna, just read your sad news. Please accept sincerest and deepest condolences from both Tina and I, to you and all your family, Barrie.

Sorry to hear that nonna; deepest sympathy to all your family and relatives.

Condolences to you and your family Nonna.

Nonna, I am really sorry to read your news. Our condolences to you all.

Nonna, my condolences to you and yours. Thankfully, you were able to be with her for a while before she went and I'm sure she was aware of it, even if she didn't seem to be.

One and the very same Col! The one whose symbol is a juxtaposition of the star of David and a swastika, David Icke must love it...Every MP to be genius level etc...

Raelism? Is that a reference to my favourite entry in the Directory of British Organisations. which I used to love dipping into before the days of t'internet? Can't lay hands on my copy at the moment but tucked in there somewhere between the British Blue Nosed Sheep Breeders Assn and all the other stuff was the Raelian Society.. 'Followers of the Elohim our Fathers From Space..who created all life on Earth' ...etc..blah... No less believable than any other religion when you think about it. Which says something quite profound...

Err... was anyone wearing it at the time Compo...

Ben probably can!

I couldn’t knock Skegness because I don’t really know it, having been there for a couple of hours only a few times in my life ..... park up, quick bracing walk along the beach, back to the car and drive home. Mind you I did go (as a ‘Mod’) one bank holiday Monday in the mid-60s, for the experience! When I was a little tot we went to Mablethorpe for a week, probably about 3 times judging by the Wraites family photos taken on the pullover. My parents preferred to holiday in Scarborough and one year we went to Butlins at Filey. They then ventured further afield to Ilfracombe a few times, stay

All these people with their posh holidays looking down their noses at good old Nottingham by the Sea. We had an old caravan on the Walsh site on Roman Bank of which I have the fondest childhood memories of trips during the fifties with members of my immediate and extended family. This was the era of Calor Gas Bottles and popping gas mantle lights, site rent was £10 a year and winter storage of the van £2-50. Who can forget the early morning sight of my momma ( a good Nottinghamism, granny to those not in the know) running across a rain lashed site towards the lavatories and d

No idea about myself but...... I know my son was definitely conceived in a seaside caravan at Chapel?????

Well said Carni. I haven't been to Skeggy for a while but have some wonderful memories of the place from the 50s and 60s. I was born in 1950 and all my pals had their summer hols (if they could afford one) in Skegness, Blackpool, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes. In 1958 when my dad had a bit more money he took the family on the train down to St Ives. It was quiet and beautiful. Certainly not what I was used to. The beaches were lovely as was the ice cream but the lack of amusement arcades made me yearn for Skegness. The train journey through the night from Nottingham into GWR territory

Skegness, as most of you know, is where I met my future husband in July 1964. A holiday romance followed by two and a half years courtship via train and coach, back and forth Nottingham/Wolverhampton (Kept us skint, all our meagre wages went on fares). .Until we wed in Dec 1966 We both loved Skeggy, and in later years had a Static caravan on Skegness Sands, on the grounds of the old 'Derbyshire Miners Camp'. It got to be more than we could afford as it was owners and close family members only, so reluctantly had to let it go. Skeggy is still the place we choose to visi

Been out in the garden debudding all the flowers and generally tidying up. I'd just finished and was going in to eat cos I'm famished when my neighbour the other side asked me to wait a minute. She then proceeded to put tomatoes and courgettes into a bag for me. Thankyou very much. Her uncle is a pensioner and loves growing veg but they have so much stuff they don't know what to do with it so he gives most of it away. The same thing with my other neighbour, they are practically self sufficient, have vineyards everywhere and sometimes the excess comes to me and friends and families of theirs.

Please do

This photograph was taken around 1946 when we were at Sutton on Sea or Mablethorpe. I was told by dad that the defences were up to stop those nasty Germans getting into Britain! For several years after the war ended, there were still no signposts on the little road going to Ingoldmells and CSL. I remember dad saying things like 'left at the red lion pub' etc.... can't remember the exact names of the landmarks, but he told us the signposts had been removed to confuse the Enemy!
