That is the place indelibly etched in my mind (head)!

Wonderful days!

And no one could be in touch until you got home!

Lovely indeed! It is wonderful how well the town looks, with so much class and charm.

I actually remember that garden center for a very different reason.

I think you are right Pedro!

Interesting commentary; 120 years ago we had dry summers, so this is no a new thing! My grandfather (mothers) would always blame the steam trains. Sorry for the shift off topic but we can learn a lot from history!

Very interesting chronology!

Very informative piece Pedro! It is amazing how much work was done because of the river Rea. Lest we forget the benefits the populace derived from it! Hind sight is 20 20, the focus back in the day was getting work done and they did!

A company I worked for decided to buy one of those for the management team. After about three years of throwing it away unused and the end of each year I told them I didn’t need it, turns out most of the leadership team told the HR department the same thing. And yes in engineering we used Gantt...

Yes, the frontage is indeed splendid! Very pleased it will continue on it also goes to show the durability of those buildings built well over a 100 years ago!

What is very sad that our grandchildren will never experience that feeling of community where everyone is a participant. Not saying it was perfect by any stretch but a place for everyone. I remember when a very dear friend and I were into playing darts, we were about 18. We were on our way to...

Those old pubs were an institution, never to be seen again. They were for the most part a place everyone could go with modest income, many were nothing fancy just a wonderful part of the fabric of our life and growing up. It is a sad day when they are pulled down with nothing to replace them...

Salmon on the grill is spectacular! I have only ever caught salmon and pan fried it. We buy salmon and grill it seasoned either on aluminum foil or a soaked cedar plank. My wife wraps salmon in parchment paper (in cold weather) with herbs and veggies and puts it in the oven. Fresh salmon and...

I catch rainbow trout occasionally and grill them two the nights in a row on my gas grill. Having said that, I have not been fishing in a year or two!

Reading through the advertisements, the subject matter of each is a variation of the same or similar technology. They maybe different companies although they maybe using their skill sets in different markets. I have a good friend in the US that has a main company that has two other businesses...

Yes, the 70's were prime years for many of us! We were young and fit, mostly good looking (at least we thought so :)). So much potential ahead of us, and now here we are.

And so business as usual for the council. The usual types standing tall all the time knowing it’s inevitable!
