Hi Lynn
Would this be a first for doing that christmas advent at the black country or what
I can imagine it will be a great scene to go around those litt up street in regala out fits
And i inmagine the xmas deco will be very traditional dressed up in those houses
Are they only sold on office box on entrance and yes i really loved the place myself
My old dutchess was abit embarrassing when i used to look in those cubbards in those house
And i would go on and tell my kids abkut the way i was brought up in little houses and the old cast iron fire place
To hang your pots and pans when cooking the dinner and toast and no electicity
Only gas mantles down in lichfield road and when they ripped out the whole old cast iron
Place with its ovens to place your pans in when cooking a meal
And when they put a tile fire place in its place we was stroking it ,, feeling it over and over
We thought we was posh so next day went dashing down to whitehouse street to tell our nan
That we have got a electric light with a switch and kur gas mantle removed but she was awainting for her turn
To bet her out yes its a great memory and a great place of gems
Best wishes Alan,,, Astonian,,,,
