Ann, wasn't there a "Salt Trail" in the Malvern Hills? Can you imagine trying to bring salt over the hills now.
I think that this was done before motor engines. A little waggon train of carts carrying salt.

I've started my 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle "Crazy Cats" by Linda Jane Smith. but it is no where near finished yet.

Had some porridge with a little golden syrup for breakfast this morning. Also writing to a relation re our family tree. It has bought it home just how disorganised my paperwork is.

Might start weaving when I have finished the puzzle. Have had the radio on a little more too. Takes me back to pre tv days.

Hi all, well, although I am snowbound, I have really enjoyed my enforced 'house arrest' for the past 3 days. I hate driving anyway, so it hasn't been a chore to stay in. I have completed a jigsaw puzzle of a thousand pieces, found a few more rellies on my tree and managed to cook some warming winter dishes for OH. My only worry has been not being able to by him a birthday pressie for tomorrow, but he understands.
But I do live in hope that the temperature may rise a little and I can have a stroll and put some rosy into my very pale cheeks..lol
Hope you all are taking care and keeping warm, and reading the boards today, look forward to my extra winter fuel payment ?? Maybe..

Haven't been on this thread for a while as have had trouble with internet being very spasmodic(a bit like the weather).Also still haven't got my car back since before Christmas,and it's going to cost a fortune as having a new electronics box caused by a leak in the seal of the windscreen that was replaced 2 years ago.Having a dispute with Autoglass at the moment,as 2 mechanics have said it is their fault.Let you know how we get on!
Hope everyone is warm and well.

Why thank you Harry:-) I was always glad that Sue Smith and I relieved you of your £35 BT shares....keep saving the pennies....lol....BC XX

How lovely to see your name again BC. May I remind you that I am still a millionaire, but sadly, only in pennies.

Happy days (weren't they?)

I would buy some of your snow,Harry....was always a sucker for a handsome sweet talking man:-)) lolBCXX

The first letter of your posting Ann contains two syllables - the only one so to do.
If you have others who are not so bright, I have some snow for sale.

Happy days

If you are not too bright, it is O.K. to try harder.(that applies to me)

We are not very bright Harry, needs to be words of one syllable.

Yes, I was referring to the first page of the board. Just testing to see how bright you all were.
Sorry to cause confusion.

Happy days

Well we wont know unless he returns to explain I suppose.

Just had a thought (ouch!)


I wonder if Harry was referring to the first page on the board ............... what I sometimes call the index page ...... and not to the first page of this thread?????

Yes you are right Sylvia, it is just a chat between friends thread. I am not sure what you mean Harry either but you are very welcome.

Sylvia is right Harry, so just chat with us as if we were sat opposite one another this is a great thread and so are other threads on here were people feel they can be easy with each other, no upsets, after all we are just freindly folk.... hope you continue to join in....

Hi everyone


It's about 8C here, and for once, it is NOT raining!!



Welcome to the thread Harry .............. although I am not sure what you mean about several things on the first page would be better in separate sections???


This is just meant to a thread where people can meet up and chat in a pleasant manner ..... at least, that is how I understand it.

we just go with the flow ................. just as one would in a real-life conversation.



and they are all lovely people on here .... we have to thank Ann for starting it!

Lovely thread. I don't post that much on here nowadays. The ages of the posters seem younger than of days gone by. Nothing wrong in that as a general rule, but I have a photo in the funeral parlour window "coming soon" and like looking back.
If i may be constructive (or destructive) ,a lot of the things which appear on the first page might be better housed on separate sections. Not saying I'm right, but just an opinion.
Best wishes to all, particularly those who qualify for a long service award.

Happy days

If you trust google more than your doctor - change your doctor.

Ann he has a degenerated spine & other problems he spends 90% of his time in bed .

Thank goodness it is only bruising, after Eddies fall down the stairs we don't want to hear of another one in hospital. Hope the bruises soon go Cath, I expect he is sore.

Hubby is ok now but has some bad bruising to his back as he hit it on the stairs ,( our stairs are split level )
I don't usually leave him on his own .. son comes down but he got stuck in snow .

Thanks for asking

We are expected to get a lot of snow tonight and tomorrow so don,t think i will risk the school run .

Probably just as well you didn't go then Theresa, hopefully it will be dry on Saturday when you go. It was bitterly cold out here today.
