The church featured in the wedding episode of Caroline and Charlie which has supposedly burnt down overnight was the derelict church attached to Colwick hall. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=colwick&hl=en&ll=52.945491,-1.106674&spn=0.000826,0.002411&hnear=Colwick,+Nottinghamshire,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=19

Ive always been fascinated by old wedding photo's so i would be very interested to see everyone elses. This is my Grandma and Grandads wedding in June 1955 at Ashwell Street Methodist church, Netherfield. They hired a double decker bus from Nottingham corpo to take all the guests to the wedding reception which was held in the Ballroom at the Elite on Parliament Street
L - R are: Great grandfather Ernest Peck, Marjory Hammond nee Peck ( grandads cousin), Leonard Turville (granddads step brother), Great grand-step mother Mable Peck nee Small, Magda Peck ( Grandads neice), My grandad Walter Peck, My grandma, Joan Peck Nee Bennett, Great Grandmother Ethel Bennett, Sheila Peck ( grandads youngest sister) and my Great Grandfather William " Billy" Bennett.
As ive said in previous postings, I still have that wedding dress: It was made out of 11 yards of embossed Damask and cost my grandma ( more than likely her dad paid for it!) £32 11s 6p PER yard and was made for her by her neighbor on Harrogate Street. Plus i have the horseshoes, the veil and the wooden spoon shes holding with the flowers.

My ex best friend, she was born and lived for many years at a house on smithy crescent where i believe the leisure center is now, she said they were horrible little houses, always damp and cold in winter and roasting hot and damp in summer.

Going as fast as we can beachbum, Its one strip of land outside our house that is holding us up. No one can find who owns it, we thought we sorted this out as land registry went back to 1750 and sorted it, however they are now not satisfied and now want to come and take pictures, so it could be November before we get up there now
.

It was a double track and it wasnt a terminus, Carried on to Louth, Some good pictures here. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/m/mablethorpe/index.shtml
-
Its a shame the railway line isnt still open through Mablethorpe, The line closed in 1970 and where mablethorpe station was is now the leisure centre i believe. Still havent moved yet, Land registry issues now with our house were in now.
-
No, I havent departed yet, Bloody solicitors holding us up lol
-
Just found out that Park House on Burton Road, then called Main street, was built for my Great x 2 Uncle, John Godfrey. Godfrey House was built by his older brother Samuel and they were in the lace manufacturing business being the owners of Godfrey Brothers Lace on High Pavement, Nottingham.
My family must of been fairly successful.

It would not surprise me if the electric engines/carriage sets turn out to be second-hand with the new stock going to premier routes.
I would love to see 91's Cascaded onto the Midland Mainline.
-
even though is it french Canadian, it'd be nice to see our trains built in this country
-
Unsure if it worth it or not. What i DONT want to see is a generic spanish/german/italian built train. I would like to see bombardier build a complete brand new design, something orginal.

I am a person who has Dyspraxia which is is a chronic neurological disorder beginning in childhood and lasting into adulthood that can affect planning of movements and co-ordination as a result of brain messages not being accurately transmitted to the body. Typical symptoms include:
Poor balance. Difficulty in riding a bicycle, going up and down hills
Poor posture and fatigue. Difficulty in standing for a long time as a result of weak muscle tone. Floppy, unstable round the joints. Some people with dyspraxia may have flat feet
Poor integration of the two sides of the body. Difficulty with some sports involving jumping and cycling
Poor hand-eye co-ordination. Difficulty with team sports especially those which involve catching a ball and batting. Difficulties with driving a car
Lack of rhythm when dancing, doing aerobics
Clumsy gait and movement. Difficulty changing direction, stopping and starting actions plus many other things.
I recently found this forum which is basically a dyspraxic haven for people who think what they go through they are the only people. Ive found this very very helpful so please do pass it on if you know anybody who has Dyspraxia.
