Mr Quinn must have been after my time, Ian. I was there 1962-67. I have two Cheech and Chong LPs and still have teh massive joint paper issued with the Big Bambu LP.  Also have a set of DVDs of Cheech and Chong.  Did you know Cheech Marin has a facebook page? I'm a "Friend".  What did Mr Quin teach?

Safe Journey catfan. We are home now safe and sound, just a sweet memory so quickly. The traffic on the M5 was not too bad coming away from Devon, but I felt sorry for the ones going down there, the traffic was standing still in places already at 9.30am. Next holiday is Skeggy in September, can't wait, taking the cycles for that one though.

Still winding down from my Devon holiday.

We have had a very pleasant car  ride out today to Bridgnorth in Shropshire, approximately fifteen miles,  to sample some delicious icecream at 'Knickerbockers Icecream Parlour', mmm  mm Loverley!  Orming all over the sofa just now and 'Guess What'? Husband has just said to me ' Come on, get ready, lets go out for dinner He's winding down as well'.  How can I possible refuse!  Gotta go.....where's mi cardi?

Gosh, this enjoyment is such hard work. :biggrin:

So right KJ, one of our favourite towns where we regularly went for a few days break.

 

Oh, come you home on Sunday

When Ludlow streets are still

And Ludlow bells are calling

To farm and lane and mill

 

Or come you home of Monday

When Ludlow market hums

And Ludlow chimes are playing

"The conquering hero comes"

 

An extract from "The Recruit", one of the poems from "A Shropshire Lad" by A E Housman, one of my best-loved anthologies. If you don't know it, do acquaint yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Just getting back in the normality swing after a very enjoyable week in Devon with Hubbs and Daughter and Granddaughter. Those two girls are in my life so much on a daily basis, it is a special feeling to be loved and to love back. 

When my Granddaughter was born 18yrs ago in December,  my Daughter was really not well for quite a while. I spent a lot of time with her and that wonderful little baby. I believe I bonded as if she was my own. My daughter appreciated me very much and made sure I have been given the honour of being a big part of their lives.

 

Today my feelings have been all over the place, so proud and a feeling of changes not so far away. Our Granddaughter got her A level results, when we got back off holiday. Maths, Biology, Science all straight As. Next year hopefully it will be University. and this morning she passed her driving test as well. So that gorgeous Gel is now a young woman embarking on adventures of her own.

 

I'm a very mixed up ode kid today. I know what started it off. I was listening to the song from Mama mia. I think its called 'Slipping through my fingers' sung by Meryle Streep to her Daughter on her wedding day.  That's it..........where's the chocolate and ice cream.:biggrin:
