Just sitting listening to the Thunder and this popped into my mind.
Whenever we heard Thunder,Mam or Dad would say........Sounds like the coal mans here. I still say it now.
-
Can be seen most places in Brittain,mainly South East and East Anglia, best time Spring and Winter
-
If we used the answer "I Thought" The reply from MaM or Dad would be.."You Know What Thought did?" I never did know,Well, I just looked it up and there are many answers eg....Followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding, but the answer that sounds probable is....Never to say "I thought"
But go and make sure

Looks like no Queens for the next three coronation, All Kings, Charles.........William........ and ?

I have been watching you build your pool and giving us up dates on what ever you are creating at the time, I like your description of the garden as a two acre doodle,very original, Lol, Keep up the good work,it must be great to stand back at the end of the day and see the reward for your labour of love,
-
What a lovely garden you have Compo,You put such a lot of work and imagination into it ,you have some thing to be proud of there. And I can see why you have settled in that part of the British Isles,it looks absolutely wonderful and peaceful.

Stan,
Glad you will be here for my coronation,I will be sitting on the throne seat on my grandson Williams Chopper,i will budge up and you can sit next to me.

Commo,
Thankyou, for your message, I have enjoyed every moment, Gudereintitmiducks

I agree with you whole heartedly,I will always call Nottingham Home,I have lived in West Mids most of my life,46years,i left at 19yrs of age following my husbands work,I have had a good life here,but my heart is in Nottingham and always will be.Where ever you live there are good and bad things to be found,i would rather look for the good,

When we lived at Hardys Drive, Gedling, in the 50s ;the toilet was across the shared back yard and round a corner,in a short alley, i spent many times stuck up the top of the walls doing the same thing and crying for my mam to rescue me.

Just Googled it for the first time and realised why its not disguise,"oops".Sounds like how i spent most of the 60's; "not really only kidding."

So after all these years of singing 'Lucy in Disguise with diamonds' i have just been told by my grand-daughter, once again, i have got it wrong, "Nannar its Lucy in the sky with diamonds" OK ner ner na ner ner

Thankyou for Glan Gwana info,It looks really nice,but a little to far down for us this time.I should have said that we have friends all staying in Lytham St Annes,for a ballroom dancing weekend at Blackpool Tower,and we want to incorporate this with a weeks break ,but if its ok i will keep the address for another time.

Sozmiduck,at least they have gone to a good cause

Thankyou Mick2me,
Sounds interesting,I will take a look,not sure where that is,so i will let you know the outcome.

When i used to search the net for anything reminiscent of Nottingham,i typed in Nostalgia about Nottingham one day,and Nottstalga popped up,i didnt get a computer until 2008 so you had been going about 4yrs by then, it was Google,and i used to just read what people had entered for quite a long time,before i plucked up courage to join,And it has brought me closer to home when ever i feel like. GREAT.

Yes the wrangler shop was at Calverton,i think your right about the factory as well,but it has to be 70/80s since we last went and i have forgotten,My hubbs has just cleared his wardrobe and took loads of the Wrangler shirts to the charity shop,they are still good condition but a bit dated,and as he says they have shrunk,nudge nudge

DavidW, Thankyou for the tips,we will check the cottage out first thing tomorrow,it sounds very nice.
Darkazana we did try googling camp sites but we had no luck,will try again tomorrow
Paulus,good idea, i can earn some spends as well,i wonder if they pay well.LOL

It has been a lot of years since i saw this view,I never heard the name Dorket Head,but sadly that's what happens when you leave the area,places can some times fade from memory,we used to go to Calverton to the Wrangler shop when we came to Notts and that was when we would stop to see the wonderful view,And Poobear, #17 you made me fancy some blueies and bacon,but i have never seen any except when i came home,some times the men would pick them and sell them to us in the Grey Goose Bar.That will never happen again,cos its gone.

Hello Again
We have decided to go to the West coast in October for a break,and we are hoping to get some where around Lytham or Lytham St Anne's,We have chosen this coast as it is not hilly as we want to take our cycles,and we can go from Lytham to Blackpool and on to Fleetwood.Just about as far as we can manage.Can any one recommend a caravan site or ground floor self catering accommodation (because of cycle storage) We don't seem to be able to find any where.Any suggestions will be appreciated .

Thank you my loyal subjects,I shall try not to let my royal status go to my head.
You may bow or curtsy at will. -

Hi, i have just been on ancestry.com,on the census forms,I have got Williams going right back to mid 1800s,the name just runs through the family tree,on 1901census there is a William and wife Naomi, If i have got it right this one is the son of George and Mary who are my gt gt gt grand parents, living in Carlton, and also one with wife Annie,they lived at Shardlow, That is just two,there are so many people in my tree all naming each other after each other,it is to complicated for me.I need an expert to sort them out

Hi annswabey, There was a William Comery in one of the branches of my tree in the late 1800s,Though Comery isn't a common name ,there were so many in mainly Carlton and Sneinton,My gt gt gt granddad originated from Thurgaton in around 1820,but ended up in Carlton,there the family starts to grow rapidly,all over the area,so many Georges,I believe That the William in my tree would be from around late 1800s ,He may have been nicknamed bill I will get on my tree and get back to you.Thank you for your interest.
