Lovely photos!! However, a few words of explanation would be helpful. Is that viaduct the one they used in "Three Men and a Mangle?"

My doc is after me to drink lots of water. I think that I will.

I have a landline. When we first moved in, the beige phone was on the wall in the kitchen. I finally replaced the cord (from the receiver to the part with the dial) so that I could talk on the phone while cooking. I know -- really big wow. We had that phone until someone woke us up to the fact...

I too have seen him as Inspector Japp and have thought that when he played Gordon Simmonite he was really, really young. Who could have guessed that that young skinny kid would one day play a police inspector?

I like to watch a show called Celebrity Antique Road Trip which is a show that features two teams with a celebrity and an antique expert. Each team drives a unique car around England to various antique stores to buy antiques and later to auction them off. While they are on the road, they stop at...

When my husband and I go to the grocery store we have this little routine. He goes off with one cart and gets his stuff and I whiz around the store in the electric cart and get my stuff. Then I go up and down the aisles looking for him and when I find him,, we go to checkout. I almost never go...

There was one scene where he was involved with walking onto the tailgate of a truck.

What you must remember is that if you reveal your pet's name to the world; never select the "What is your first pet's name" question, or if you must answer that question, just use another name. Just make sure that you record the exact answer that you gave to that question.

You should go to Japan. They have lots of two-car trains, all of which seem to have few passengers. Plenty of room to be had. To attract riders, local towns hold events. All of the local trains (not the bullet trains) are decorated both inside and out. They specialize in comfort and ensure that...

Our first cat was named Tiger. He allowed us to hold him when we were inside the house, but when we were outside, he refused to be held. He felt that it was beneath his dignity to be held when he could be seen by other cats.

A number of years ago, my car had broken down so we called AAA and a tow truck came. It was one of those flat bed trucks and he loaded the car and in the course of the trip to the repair shop, he told me that this was the first time for him towing a car, alone. Wow! So we arrived at the repair...

Sadly, I have heard that in places like India or Asia, they capture and dine on birds, any kind of birds.

He needs to hook-up with two other retired men, the three can start acting like teenagers and do stuff like roll down a hill in barrels. One likes to speak words of wisdom, another likes to do stuff like measure the feet of a widow woman, and a third man likes to tell stories of his time in the...

What a wonderful way to RAISE AWARENESS on the plight of this bird. Apparently, the curlew is suffering a loss of habitat. So sad. I hope that his Nidderdale walk has brought much awareness. I wonder if he was inspired by the Crowcroft Challenge.

I grew up in the north, Northern Virginia (ha ha) (which is slightly south of Washington, DC.) And as I watched LOTSW, there was something so very familiar. I knew what Nora would do before she did it, and I knew what Wally would do before he did it. And finally it hit me. I saw that very same...

As I grew up next to a creek, I enjoy watching the episodes that include a creek or a river. There was one that featured a bridge with lots of bushes, etc. growing on the side and top of the bridge. Yes, that can happen when the bridge is built with some sort of façade of stones, blocks with...

A comic strip is written, inked, drawn and IS NOT changed. What they print is what they get!

The Washington Post (and many other papers here across the pond) used to run Andy Capp. I'm glad to hear that the Comic Strip is still going strong.

Well, we have the original Stagecoach with the Duke running. One of the first or the first where he's a true and true Cowboy. It's a nice film, a nice Western. Well, other than the fact that they adroitly dance around the fact that the Colonel's wife is, oh my, (can't say that word) with the...

When I was in college, many, many moons ago, we had a computer in the library. The keyboard was about three feet long, and each key was about one inch square and when you hit a key you could hear the clunk all over the library.
