Broxtowe John 1 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 I think that's the downside with a big Family, wonderful when you are young and when you're growing up,but when you get older and start to lose them it can be heartbreaking. Sorry Ben I sound like a bit of a misery, ime a happy chap really,just doing a bit of reminiscing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well me being a spoil sport I'll tell her, Yes Ben did the ironing but he only ironed one thing, and he ???? that up iron was too hot so them, so the  rubber button's on his Liberty Bodice melted.  O'HHHH Ben what have you done?

Beekay 5,143 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Last day of Autumn colours up at Sheffield Park Gardens for this year. I'm off to do my last volunteer shift for now. Next one will be be New Year's day, (making sure no silly bugger falls through any ice that might be about). Met some lovely people while driving my shuttle service. Lots of friendly banter. It's sunny today. Life is good !! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,016 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 It is sunny here today and its a bit cold, so I thought I would clear some of the fallen leaves out of my pond, whilst doing that I would trim some of the dying plants from it as well. I lasted about an hour, that pond water is cold and my poor little fingers decided to stop working so I am now in the warmth drinking coffee. Not going out again today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It might have been a surprise to some when I took my helmet off to reveal my grey hair! I wish I hadn’t sold it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
