It's Sunday morning, the kids are playing happily and not being kept still for 3 hours, and as I have a few minutes to spare I thought I'd shout out to anyone else not being kept still for 3 hours in this jolly part of the UK...
I'm on the other side boogles84. Across the Pennines in the North West and I know exactly what you mean. I hope you've had a lovely Sunday now the weather is picking up - enjoy!
Hellooooo there Claire. Good to know you are well and enjoying life away from the smoke, closer to this end. Derbyshire is a lovely county and hope you are happy there.
I am well despite a health issue that is being managed by wonderful people. Hoping to remain chipper and fine.
My ancestors are from Hull/E. Riding, so if you know any Crackles or Middlestons, say HEY! from little ol' me (on the west coast of a different continent).
Hull gets a bad rap for all kinds of stuff, but I love the place. The cobbled streets and old buildings are just the start, we've got museums, William Wilberforce's house, City of Culture stuff to look forward to in 2017, and it's where Mick Ronson of David Bowie fame was born...
I was in Hull Second ward, born into it, unfortunately.
Mick Ronson's mother, Minnie,is a very good friend of my mother; she actually taught him in sunday school when he was a very young boy. Whilst Bowie was raking it in, Mick was driving around in a clapped out old vehicle (apparently mick used to say that Bowie wouldn't give you the drippings from his noser - a notorious tightwad.
