Limey 242 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Never mind the kids - when I visit Skeggy, I bring rock back to the States! They have yet to figure out how they get the "Skegness" all the way through! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Whenever we go to the coast, we always have a pounds worth of 2p pieces for the slot machines. Good harmless fun, but it's a bit annoying when any winnings drop down the side in the machine instead of the front receptacle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 We saw 11 tiny ducklings on the Canal this morning.That's got to be a good sign. Mind you looking at the sky here in West Mid's it's gone pretty grey, and the temperature has dropped, something is brewing. Hope the Ducks have somewhere warm for their little brood. It's beginning to look very stormy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,181 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 We went to get one of those recliner lounger things for the patio as summers coming but they'd got none left, so we bought a digital HD freeview recorder instead, how the flipping heck did that happen? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 My wife and I took Frodo, our Old English Sheepdog, to the Arboretum today. I can't recall ever going there before and I quite enjoyed it. I nearly bought a bungalow near the Arboretum many years ago but I was gazumped. It was a little overcast and there were only a few people there. It was good to walk around and see all the different trees, plants and flowers that were coming into bloom. We saw the lake and fountain that were near the aviaries and I also liked the Chinese Bell Tower with the four cannons. I found out that it commemorates the Crimea War (1854-6) and the China War (1856-60). I can imagine that, when everything is in bloom, the Arboretum is a beautiful place to be.
