Thank you balc2 and grindle
yes balc2 since Beryl died and the covid lockdowns I have become a bit of a recluse, not wanting to go anywhere or meet anyone and I was becoming rather depressed, but now I feel as if I'm part of the world again

That's good, Eli! You really need to meet up with people again & if doing so you can share in a hobby with them so much the better! |

well done Eli it's so easy to fall into that scenario but you're making a great effort to get back into enjoying your time now We had a bit of excitement yesterday morning when our part of the road and the one leading from it was closed as it had been reported a possible WW2 bomb had been found, still waiting to hear what exactly it was, it was soon cleared so it probably wasn't one although it was a bit scary at the time, I'd like to know what it was they found though  |

Thank you balc2 and grindle.
That sounds frightening grindle but I'm glad it was not dangerous after all.

Glad you're getting back to going out & about Eli, it really will make a difference to your state of mind. 😊 I'd be curious as well grindle! There was a road closed & some houses evacuated on the estate next to us last year because of explosives reported - turned out to be a stash of fireworks! 😁 |

that's funny SueAit turned out to be some sort of an incendiary device, not heard any more about it, glad that's all it was, it's fairly common around the Plymouth area as it was quite a target in wartime with the naval docks |

balc2 and jellibeans that forum you were talking about is very busy and often gets on my nerves but I still post on it sometimes, although I haven't done so for a while now.
There are one or two members that I like so I would not want to stop looking at it altogether.

Went to Bridgemere to avoid the incredibly loud P.A. system in use for the private school Sports day. (Can be heard over 3 miles away).

Builder came and dug out the cat pawprints from the Drive. Returning tomorrow (we hope) to fill them up again.

geumgrower, let's hope they are filled in soon & you can enjoy your drive without pesky cat footprints all over it!

The great British voting day has arrived! Today will be one of the most important days of our lives for the next few years, at least! The Great British public gets to have its say over which party will govern us for the next 5 years.
The weather will accompany us as we vote with a warm sunny day, albeit rather windy!
After several PMs, who we didn't vote for, or have a say in their election, we can at last have our say about who will govern Great Britain for the coming 5 years! Will they put the "Great" back in Britain? Or will we continue to be the laughing stock of Europe?
According to a poll I read a few days ago if we were to vote today for brexit the results would be exactly the opposite as when we voted to leave the European Union, those who voted leave would now be in the minority!
