No Ian, I just happened to be looking at 'er indoors. I once told I loved her blue corduroy trousers. She hit me ! I did'nt realise she had varicose veins.

I'll show you a picture of it once I've cleared the table.

Last time I saw legs like that, it were on a Queen Anne table.

No Rog., in actual fact it is part of a Nottingham lace coffee table cloth that I stood the box on. Gresley A3 Pacific, Flying Scotsman 4472. Barrie.

Nonna,that cart is certainly crying out for a paint job.

Work in progress Ian. Similar image on ther other end...

Not quite the right thread but it'll do, as your'e reading on here...."Happy Birthday Mary1947".

Not only shops Mary47, but St. Anns also had bloody good allotments. 40/47 trolley buses was my first solo outing as a conductor back in 1962.

In answer to Ians suggestion, heres side one, Plantfits side starts tomorrow...

whoops ! I appear to have lost Nottstalgia off my little Samsung tablet. Buggered if I know what I did. Any kind person able to tell me how I can reload it. Thought it were in Apps, but apparently not. Thank you in anticipation.

Take some photos mate ! Countrfile are always looking for wildlife picture for their calendar.

Well, it were summat like that. Me hearings not too great. :-)

They played that at my mates funeral.

You could serialise all that Phil. I'd read it. An interesting fact I've just found out, ( from Canada no less ). I knew I was related to Jayne Torville, but just been informed, her father was my Great Uncle. My Grandads sister, married her dad. Anybody want me autograph?

Thing I remember about winter 62/63 was the bloody cold ! I was a bus conductor at the time, working on the rear platform of the old AEC mk3, ( Daimler Fleetlines were just being introduced). Even with an overcoat on, it were still a freezing experience. I had some woolen gloves with the fingers cut off, but it was still difficult to operate the ticket machine and handle the money. I remember once when it was so foggy, that I sat on the front wheel arch so I could guide my driver, Joe Handley. He could'nt even see the kerb. We limped out of town up Derby road and down Alfreton road. It was on

Thank you Ian, there's another idea for t'other side. Keep em coming.

Right Plantfit, that's one side sorted and I'll start tomorrow. Now to sort out a background base colour. Any more takers?

There's a few of them down yer. !

Tell you what Rog, I'll let you decide. Roses Or Castles, the choice is yours to put on one side. If anyone else wants to contribute a suggestion, I'm all ears. Lets go !!!

Just started me latest project....( then got a copper kettle to do for me brother in law)=

It were never used to wipe yer 'arris. That's a dead cert. Used anything but that, if you valued your skin.

Correction Ian. The greaseproof, tracing paper of toilet rolls.

What does the 'Community Reputation' in the green box mean on your own profile? Anybody enlighten me?

SPRUCE GROVE, ALBERTA. Won't give anymore, as it would be unfair.

Ian, just had an email from my cousin Yvonne, who lives in Alberta and she said the same, " No snow there either. First Brown winter for decades". @philmayfield, does that mean you've still got the Egrets on your lake?
