  1. Another secret pathway to Oz, Mary.
  2. Mary, that is Palm walk, no guesses why. Both at Sheffield park and garden, East Sussex. (Nat.Trust). Will post a couple of better ones. Beekay.
  3. My very first digital pic with a 1m.p. camera. Plus Seaford Head, better white cliffs than Dover.
  4. Brighton pier and what I've been led to believe, the first working electric railway in the world. (No doubt somebody will correct me).
  5. A couple of views of my place of work.
  6. Ploughman's lunch with silk emulsion Rog?? We have salad cream or chutney with ours.
  7. Just a thought DJ, but no doubt you've investigated the possibility of something in your garden that you may allergic to. Not knowing your history of problems, just saying, is all. One hears of cases similar, ie, nettle rash etc., among others. B..
  8. How about one of these in your back garden?
  9. I've got a friend who lives on Park road Phil.
  10. I hope your not saying I'm too old for hair colouring Mary, I is only a recycled 18 year old...
  11. I can honestly say Mary, I have never had or want a blue or any other colour rinse on my no.1 haircut. 'Er indoors won't wear rubber gloves.
  12. Many thanks Lizzie, very much appreciated. B.
  13. Thank you very much for your thoughts Kath. Youngest was 9years old, can't believe it's 41 years ago this Dec. B.
  14. Know how you feel Brew, it's 29years today that my eldest son passed away in my arms, at Pembury hospital, Kent. He was 23 years old.
  15. Can you not use it to drive something Rog ? A mini carousel or something similar, or may stick it in a narrow boat. Mind you, I know bugger all about them. B.
  16. This is just an aside regarding bikes, ie useless information. Many years ago when my late son attended Aspley Wood School, on Robins Wood road, I was a school governor and one of the ladies I got know was the granddaughter of Mr. Archer of Sturmey Archer gears, (Raleigh bikes). He invented the three speed gearbox. He was offered a lump sum for the patent or 1/2d for each one produced. He took the lump sum, but his granddaughter said if he had taken the halfpenny offer it would have made him a multi millionaire. Of course in those days a lump sum would be seen as most profitable. B.
  17. That section of the river down to the sea is known as "The Meanders".
  18. Gotta admire your perseverance Rog. B.
  19. Pretty sure that one does pleasure trips out of Chatham dockyard, Rog. Might have been another "castle". Thats where the bricks on car picture came from. It was a 1940s weekend salute. Absolutely brilliant.
  20. Back to Morrisons again Phil. Or maybe Bens Rhubarb !!
  21. Seen those bricks in lots of areas in P/boro and Leytonstone area down in the Smoke.
  22. The London Brick Company.
