Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wonder what all the members of Pickettywitch are doing these days ? One day, one of them will be trawling around the internet and Google will lead them to this thread; then Ben will get to meet his heroes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,721 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Polly Brown went on to form a duo called Sweet Dreams with a chap called Tony Jackson. One result was this photograph... Since this appeared before I'd ever heard the term 'cultural appropriation'.. I'll err on the side of charity and just ask 'what was she thinking?' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the Sam Ryder song and also the Ukrainian one. There were generally too many strobe effects in the programme though - sometimes I had to turn away and just listen. We recorded Britain’s got talent because we like it! Paper lace , them were the days !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 894 Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Bk We all have a bench, a tree, a street Where we cherished our dreams. We all have a bench a tree a street A childhood that has been too short. One day or another We have to leave To build a future, a future And it's the unforgettable instant When we return our child clothes. Everyone goes, filled with hope On the road that they chose, that they chose To the richness or to the glory Yet what our life will be, our life. We all have a bench a tree a street Where we cherished our dreams We all have a bench a tree a street A childhood that has been too short Every one in his corner of the horizon Only defends their ambitions their ambitions But if we share nothing What will be left for us in common, in common We all have a bench, a tree, a street Where we cherished our dreams We all have a bench, a tree, a street A childhood that has been too short.

MargieH 7,599 Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 @Willow wilsonBeautiful and nostalgic words - perhaps a little sad? I wonder who on here has fulfilled their childhood dreams in part or even in full! Mine were very simple when I used to daydream in my garden at home - to meet a nice boy, get married, have 3 children and a happy life. I think it’s mostly been fulfilled but in a deeper way than I ever thought possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 I've fulfilled my childhood dreams. I wanted cats, I wanted to teach, I wanted to do exactly as I wished without anyone else interfering. I've managed all that, even the last one once I escaped The Manning. I can't include wanting to be happy and at peace, because I always have been. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
