Something Magic about an English country garden.........after our long cold winter its so welcoming........either sat alone and watch the sun going down...
Or with a loved one when the summer sun is rising and all is quiet....as we drink our morning coffee...and talk about the day ahead......feel the coming hours.......and face it with a smile............

Sounds like my better half Loppy............she's a very bright lady...but she never manages to see obvious everyday things..................i can completely change the garden or a room in the bungalow.......and after a couple of days i have to point out the changes.....
At one of our old houses i planted a 12 foot tree........about 4 foot from the front door.....took her about a week to notice........bless her......

Happy 60s.....Dance...Dance....

So many songs/records back in the 60s were just pleasant to listen to...
Happy people playing nice music and dancing with a smile.......we were so relaxed ..........easy to chat to and always ready for a dance........a refusal didnt matter you just moved on...you knew you would be lucky before the night was over....
edit..........full screen a must....

Mam and Dad used to take me to the Pictures on a regular basis..when i was growing up......and this was one the first films i saw......(at the Mechanics) about 1954.........fell in love with Audrey....

Think the word ''Legend'' is very over-used........but not in the case of Gerry...
To me he is a true sound of Liverpool.........
I believe this song by them made number one in the states.......sadly i think all the original 'Pacemakers'..have all left us now along with 'Gerry''.......but in my mind they are all still ''Ferrying'' across the Mersey.......
Edit full screen excellent...

Thats sad about Worksop Rog...........used to enjoy the place many Moons ago........they had quite a large Savemore supermarket which i helped set up mid to late 60s.it was on the main street near a river if i remember correctly)
....lovely lass from 'Wombwell' (sp ) worked there ...her being my main memory of the place.....
I had breakfast in Bulwell this morning......Bulwell market not what it was but reasonably busy......oddly apart from the staff in all the retail places didnt see any old friends.....seems by the look of half the people shopping today...many immigrants now dwell there in.....at least it keeps the place busy.......and to be honest they seem a decent lot......even saw a sign for planning permission for a ''Mosque''......Bulwell always keeps up with the trends.............Been looking for a long while for a new casual Jacket...but in most of the posher shops thought they were too expensive for what they are........but today on the Market found just what i wanted and only £25......so i'll be poncing about in that for a while...
Have a nice day......

Funny day today........still by mesen....so being a bit bored thought i'd have a ''Rummage'' in the shed......
What a find and quite mysterious...Wooden box very heavy...full of LPs some going back more than 50 years....there must be about 100...
Only recognised about half a dozen that were mine from way back.....
Count Basie's Beatle bag...1966
The Last Dance....Motown...all 70s
Sheena Easton...take my time.....1980.......God she was lovely.......
Cliff....talk of the town....1980......
Can honestly say that all the others were never mine...unless my age is playing tricks......
Lots of notes scribbled on the covers. of many of the others..that gave the original owners away........My Brother...and 3 of my sons being the ones........plus some love notes.....not for me..........
Here are a random sample of the other Lps...
Johnny Nash collection....1977
Mantovani....music from films....1958..........cant think who that belonged to........could have been me Mam...
Phil Collins.......no jacket required.....1968......probably mine...
Kids from Fame......1982...BBC Records......
Sensational Satchmo......1958......defo mine.......bored some Girls with that one......dare not tell you what one wrote on the cover,,
I could go on but ive probably bored you all enough......
All i need now is a record player.......any thought?.........
