ranirottie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 well not quite but a pic of our local pub is on page 13 of The Sun comic newspaper. It was flooded out during the rains and all the bottom half of the village is under water. Luckily we are uphill from the river.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceylacy Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Oh Blimey - know LC quite well as it's OH's birth place - he was from Manor Road, so no where near the water, well I don't think it is? His family were the coal merchants (in case that's relevant to anyone?) Ha .... thought I'd add that useless bit of info .... Hee hee ... Sandi (again smilies wont work for me?)

ranirottie Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Manor Road is the road behind my house, their back gardens back onto mine. Its a small world. We are (and Manor Rd) a quarter of a mile uphill from the river so are safe. Colney Heath is where i walk my dogs so I am glad that you told me it was under water Martin,I won't bother going unless the dogs want a swim. x Racylacy,was that Days coal merchants?

raceylacy Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Racylacy,was that Days coal merchants? Yes! OH has many memories of helping his dad on the coal round and I've had the tour of where the coal yard used to be and of course all the tales of times gone by. Ironcially, we now live in a village in Pembrokeshire that provided the best anthracite in the world - in fact our house is built on top of a mine shaft - we're assured we're not about to disappear down a hole though! Yeah .... I miss our trips to London Colney and the nice grub served up at the Colney Fox!!! Sandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranirottie Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 no I come from Dunstable in Bedfordshire. My daughter and Graham (Day)are divorced. Graham is what you might call a "reluctant" father and doesn't see my grandsons very often. He has 2 new sons and a new daughter and seems a bit "busy" . His mum however,sees them whenever she can even tho she lives on the Isle of Wight.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can tell your grandson's if they are ever our way we would be more than delighted to see them - in fact any of you would be welcome (you must like dogs though!!! ) You can also tell them they have 3 4th cousins not so far away in Hemel! (my 3 lovely step-daughters ) who will love hearing they have some more relatives not too far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
