  1. This is my first photo for three weeks. I seem to have been just missing the change overs. As you can see there are three eggs still, so it shouldn't be long now before the first one hatches.Could be any day now. My photos of the peregrines previous to this one seen to have gone.No idea why. Any ideas please.
  2. I didn't make High School either, only just made Secondary Modern, but I did have a Locker. You knew which one was mine as soon as you went in the Locker room, it was the one with the gentle whiff of flipped Park Drives escaping through the gaps round the door.
  3. I'll meet you at your Locker When high schools dismissed I'll carry your books home for you If you'll just give me, one little..........Dut'n.. De .Do ..Dah Do. Mmmm. The mind boggles?
  4. Here it is. I knew he had explained his name some time ago.
  5. Do you know, I had a conversation about where the name Chulla arose from, and I could kick myself because for the life of me all I can remember him telling me was that it was a mate, who dubbed him Chulla. He even told me his name? What a shame I can't remember. There you go, I've just told you something and nothing. Perhaps KJ will know.
  6. Sorry no singing. I'm doing something very important. I'm watching Eastenders.
  7. Daydreaming LL from the looks of it. I just sang the same verse as you. Oh Well, time for mi afternoon nap from the looks of it.
  8. Do, Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do....cough cough. OK Here goes. LL. Mid the flowers I spend hours Every Day.
  9. In the words of Maurice Chevalier 1958 GIGI 'Yes, I remember it well'. I just can't remember which thread? Very tastefully done miducks.
  10. I bet there are a few people out there who are glad about that DJ.
  11. Looks like Morrisons are celebrating St Georges Day. (About time someone did) Chris has just got back from ours and every one is being given a red rose to celebrate the day with them.. I asked him why he didn't keep popping back in, I could have had a lovely bunch for nowt in the end. PS. When he walked in with the rose and I went all gooey and dewy eyed, he did confess that he hadn't bought it.
  12. This NS choir is growing rapidly. We will have to see if DJ360 has any contacts for us.
  13. When Whipoorwills call. And evening is nigh, I'm happy in my Blue Heaven. Sorry LL, I couldn't resist it. Another one mi mam used to sing to us. I bet it sounds like the deepest jungle round your way, when that lot start singing LL. I have only heard a Woodpecker a few times and one of those was on a tree in our back garden. I don't know how ever they don't injure themselves pecking at that speed, they must have very hard beaks.
  14. Well, you learn something every day. Jonab, very interesting post, it got our inquisitive juices flowing so I just Googled St Patrick. Thought this was an interesting site. He could even be Welsh according to this account? https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofWales/St-Patrick-The-most-celebrated-Welshman-in-America/ Hope the sun shines for you RR. PS, Will be flying the flag tomorrow. Must get the board out today, it could do with ironing!
  15. Don't the birds always sound so happy. I was woken at 4.15am to the sound of a multitude of birds singing. I personally haven't felt like singing at that time of the morning for years. I must say they sound as if they haven't got a care in the world. Are they just singing or nattering to each other, probably deciding what they are going to fill their day with, trying to survive must be priority I think. Ah well, just finished my Ovaltine, the birds are still going for it, I'm wide awake now so no point in trying to nod of again. I'll just wait for daybreak and check the Nottm Falco
  16. Thanks for the update AG, I am enjoying reading your posts on the subject. It is intriguing stuff and will be interesting to find out who the tomb does belong to. Look forward to reading your next additions of information.
  17. I have been sitting here with my finger poised waiting for inspiration to come and I can't find the right words, nothing is coming into my mind. All I can say is I feel so sad but also so glad to have got to know Chulla for the short time we had. Seeing everyone today showed how much we all thought of him in our own way. It appears he had such a knack of being natural, comical and caring and he endeared himself to us all. Chris and I already miss him on NS and think we always will. The service today was very appropriate to how Chulla shared his beliefs with us. Thank you to Linda and Barbara
  18. We will soon be leaving home for the journey to celebrate Chullas life and as it should be the sun is going to shine for a special person.
  19. Have to agree with you Compo. I have had my Raleigh Transcend over ten years now and I have put the poor thing through some serious ordeals. Spent many times on its side in the mud, hit a few walls and pavements and apart from quite badly scratched paintwork, nothing has ever broken. Love It. I dread the day it can't take anymore and I have to have another one. Just putting my laptop down now so as we can go for a towpath ride. Not sure if it will be Staffs and Worc, Shrop Union or the Birmingham Main line.Love them all.
  20. I had to laugh catfan, I saw your post just after I finished Chris's monthly hair cut, ear and eyebrow pampering. He looks so sweet now, posing in front of the mirror with pursed lips. How ever that man trusts me near his ear holes with a pair of very pointy scissors, I'll never know. Must be love.
  21. You were born to be a leader Margie.
  22. Just trying a random photo. Here goes. Yes, works on my Laptop.
  23. Happy Birthday SueB48 Have a Great Day Hit the Town Gel and Celebrate in Style.xx
  24. We followed him around the West Mids on his last tour. He was wearing his original leather trousers on stage, and was very thin and fake tanned, being a big fan, Billy could do no wrong and even though he had had to alter the notes on some of his songs as his voice was a little weaker, he was still the best for me. We queued for his autograph after the show at the 'Kingfisher Club'. I still have it and all the paper clippings following him until his sad end came far to early.
