Elgin !! That brings back many memories of when I used to stay with a friend in Nairn. Some of the best holidays of my life up there Havea good day Steve

Thank you Viv for all the work you have put into this subject, I find it so interesting. What I do find confusing is looking at your latest map and the numbers of the houses right opposite the Church, 114 onwards, and my Auntie living at No. 92, yet I still cannot remember the Church.

As they say Steve, "That's the way the cookie crumbles". Love your photos of Mr. Bumble Like a number have said, we have had an influx of Magpies this year, and whilst we had quite a number of blackbirds and other smaller ones, they now seem to have deserted us. The pigeons are regular...

Look forward to seeing those Lynn if you are able to get some photos.

I always used to go to T & Ks for Tekaloid to paint my old bangers. It was wonderful stuff and you could never see a brush mark. Folk always thought I had sprayed the cars. All the Birmingham buses were hand painted using Tekaloid

Thanks so much Viv for the info. and photos. Memory is such a strange thing isn't it. I can still remember the stone above saying Trafalgar place and often wondered why is was called that. Yet I still cannot remember the Church. Perhaps because we always visited from the Lozells Road end...

Shock to the system Pete coming down to 14" from 31"

As I was reading all this about Lozells St. Methodist Church I was trying to imagine where it was. I had an aunt who lived in Lozells St., Olivier Wiggin and we visited her many many times, but I still can't remember seeing the Church. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me exactly where...

Ooh Pete, now you're talking my language, love them but wife doesn't. in any case never see them here

Only talking on Tuesday about how we love beef/pork dripping sarnies. I prefer it on toast. My wife always has pepper on hers

You made a good job of that shrub Janice. Steve, you are making me so jealous with your lovely display. We have a good show of flowers on the larger plants but little on the smaller stuff. What feed do you use?

The Market hall used to have a roof until it was bombed. I used to go every Saturday with Mom into town and visit the Market Hall every week. Then one Saturday we went and found it had been bombed, I think the night before. I can't remember what specific items we went there for.

Like you MWS our cherries are zero this year. Also Strawberry plants and apples producing little. However more on the Tayberry bush this year

Only just come across this thread this morning. Only last week in our lunch club I was talking to a lady about the many letters and lovely post cards Dad sent to Mom during his service in the First World war. Mom had a very large brown leather suitcase full of them. We, as children were told not...

Yesterday had a visit from a Great Spotted Woodpecker on the bird feeder. Never seen one before so had to search the bird books. The birds and squirrels eating us out of house and home at the present time. Would love to put photos of our three Hydrangeas, all of which are in full bloom, but due...

Can someone advise me please in regard to Bank transfer details as I don't use Paypal. Th only details given are those at the start of this thread in February 2010 and I am wondering if it is still the same

Thanks for that video Pete, one of the most interesting videos I've seen for ages. Only part way through yet though
