I had a letter through the door letting me know they're planning to restore it. The "cake tin" next to it is going and once complete It'll be made into an open area. Thought I'd snap a couple of pics before it all goes tits up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gt Yarmouth......we use to holiday there most years as my dad's cousin owned a guest house there.....I think that is the furthest my dad ever drove too....not a well tavelled man....he did go to the border of Wales once to visit a relation....apart from that he never travelled outside of England. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad never travelled out of UK but there again he died when he was just 37 so perhaps he didn't get the chance. My Mum and Stepdad go on at least four holidays a year (usually to Spain) so it would be interesting (to me) if he had survived longer to see if he would have travelled abroad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a man of his time.....we have photos of him on the East Coast wearing a sports jacket, collar and tie.....if it was warm he would remove the tie even on the colliery fishing matches he wore the same gear... If he went to Skeggy he would get the car checked over at the garage before the journey.........but it was a Moggy Traveller. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope......he never wore a hat (that I remember) but his dad was never without his flat cap....one for Monday to Saturday..and another one just for Sunday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Car set on fire last night, front lights are still blinking. Someone burned a sofa that was put on the street and the car was next to it. I also cleaned a big wall in front of Sofia’s practice with grafity on. Luckily painted on tiles so easily cleaned. I don’t get this shit. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been to Iowa on multiple occasions and also having had the misfortune to actually live there for a short while, I can say, without reservation, that your Dad was a very smart man. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 My mum went to see her sister..who was married to a American guy. Sight seeing was not top of the agenda....but she did enjoy the visit there......we have a album full of photos....we would have had cine film of the visit too, but my other aunt who went on the trip with her forgot to remove the lens cap from the camera. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
