One of my favourites Benj, i still love Billies songs.I have been a bit rough these past few months, medication problems, sorry I haven't joined in so much, but I am getting there.Thanks for asking Miduck.x

Thankyou DJ. Just to let you all know that the reason I can't make a meetup is because I can't walk more than a few steps, due to intolerance to the meds I'm taking. (I'm not playing truant, honestly!) I have an appointment with Oncology in January, all depends on what is planned for me. fingers crossed?

Thankyou CliffTon. I'm still here and hope to be back on form when the lovely Docs get me sorted out.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year to all Nottstalgians. xxxx

Funny you should say that! We had to call at the Co-Op on the way home, and guess what we bought? Starts with 'Cream' and ends with 'Doughnuts' Hey, I did say No.................Oh go on then. Just one!

These are the pills. called Aromatase Inhibitors. I have to take one a day for 5 yrs or life. The first one called Anastrozole, left me almost unable to walk for about a month, the one the docs changed me to is called Exemestane, and things are looking up. I have had 4 whole days of feeling a bit more normal, I can walk and rest a lot better on this new pill. We hooked the bikes onto the back of the car and drove to our large 'West Park' yesterday and rode the perimeter twice, only 2 miles, but I am thrilled. I thought my cycling days were over. It is easier to peddle than to walk. Anyway. t

Thankyou all.xx

I am sorry that I am not posting lately, I am just beginning to come out of a rough few months. I keep trying to post but the brain fog takes over I am afraid. Anyway, my bod is finally settling down with the new meds. The anti cancer tablet is the one that has been causing me a lot of pain, the last three days have been a lot more comfortable though. There you are my Notty Peeps, you see I have been keeping my eye on you all, and thankyou for wondering where I am.xx

Yes, Where have you been Mi Duck.

Hope you had a good one benj. Happy Belated Birthday Miduck.

Whilst holidaying at Newquay Cornwall in 1987 we decided to go to St Mawgan to watch Concorde land. It was brilliant and we have some great photographs to cherish. It really was special.

I hope you recover well Mary and we look forward to a bit of 'Havoc' from you to liven our day. Best Wishes.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all Nottstalgians and Familys. xx

You got it benj. x

Happy Birthday Jill. Have a good day.

Same here in Wolverhampton. Tuesday and today; unbelievable rainfall. It's rained more than I have seen for a very long time!

Belated Birthday wishes BK. Hope you had a good day.x

Happy Birthday Loppy.

A belated congratulations to you both Mr and Mrs PP. Looks like you have celebrated in style. Well deserved and well done to you and your family.xx

Thankyou CliffTon. Grandads workplace was somewhere between Mechanics Arms and the top of Alfred St. Seeing the images again bring back so many memories for me. Family, Workplace and singing along in the pub., especially at Christmas with my buddy sewing machinists. Thanks again 'Mi Duck'.

Before the demolition of 'St Anns' my Grandparents lived on Vicarage St, about three doors up from 'The Mechanics Arms' which was on the corner of 'Alfred St North'. He was a blacksmith. I never knew exactly what he did, but one of the Gents on another Nottingham site, very kindly gave me an enlarged map off the area, showing my Grandads place of work, on the opposite side of Alfred St North, was Raywarp, where I worked at the time. This was early 1960s. Grandad, apparently was the Blacksmith who shoed and cared for the 'Dairy Horses' at that time. I don't know if the house they lived in on V

Quiet feasible to pick Covid up in hospital. During my last ten days in hospital in May, I felt even more unwell one day, I didn't get a test in time as the Doctors came round and decided I was well enough to go home, not aware of the Covid risk.The person in charge decided it would be better if I tested at home and phone the ward with my result. I did the test, was positive, phoned the ward and they then closed the ward down?

Willow, I believe his name was Reginald Gardiner and he is on you tube with his sounds. I am sorry but I don't seem to remember how to add him to my post. My husband and myself still sing the Diddley Dee sounds occasionally, 'it's not the same with our super duper trains these days though'.

Soz for not posting lately. It has been a long couple of years but I have been watching silently in the wings............Just making sure you all behave. Hubbs birthday is on the 13th Oct and i'm not sure what we will be doing so we will have to linger longer deciding about the coming meetup, as usual it will be a late decision.

You always know how to make a Gel smile benj.
