Cute dog. Enjoy your week in the countryside, Scotty.

Thanks, Yogi She`s just shaken the living daylights out of Minni Mouse.

 I'm hoping Minnie Mouse is a dog toy.

Poor wee Minni Mouse is now completely demolished...stuffing all over the floor! 

 Sounds like you have a job on your hands Scotty  Ruby's so cute, but is she a bit of a holy terror?

No Rog, she`s just full of fun. She loves battling with her toys. I`m sure she thinks they`re real. Daft as a brush.

  

 

Made a mess of that, was trying to change their to they`re.

The Indian used to be a pub, The Busby Stoop, which had a cursed chair which only the very foolish would sit in. On the other side of the road is the Old Skipton aerodrome populated during the war by desirable Canadian officers, who attracted many local women, including my Mum. There have been a few reunions over the years.
More importantly a couple of miles up the road you can buy Austin Reed clothing at knockdown prices. I probably haven't mentioned it, but we have been there the last two Sundays to buy various items including a couple of pairs of fine cords.

When you say 45's, I remember having a vinyl album called "Stars on 45" and each side was a continuous melody of covers, my friends and I used to have great fun dancing evenings away in the study while listening to that. I remember A side started with "stars on 45 keep on burning in your mind, but we can work it out remember twist and shout". Am I showing my age?

 

I had guessed the restaurant across the way used to be a pub, because trust me, had it still been a pub I would have waited in there for Mr C.

 

Plus I did notice the Austin Reed place when I was rescued and we were on our way to our destination of Kirbymoorside. I look forward to going now, not just to see the family but for our stay at one of the local pubs, food is great, atmosphere is lovely (no music) and one member of staff always keeps me up far too late once all have retired. Every time we go he says to me "please move here". 

 

So Joe was your Father a Canadian officer who stayed?

(Don't worry she'll never know, she is miles away)

Not rich list, but I think we would give that a try. We have decided to do a Yorkshire weekend, ending up in Kirbymoorside, but not telling them what we're doing apart from the night in Kirby. One night definitely in Helmsley, always looks so lovely when we drive through.

Cinds that's awful - if you know its in the house hoover absolutely everywhere with a pair of tights over the end of the nozzle. Carefully check the washing machine/dishwasher if you've used them - stick the nozzle of the hoover in there too.

 

I really hope you find it - try retracing your steps back to when you think you last 'saw' it (easier said than done I know). I know what you mean about knowing it was there earlier though - I look at my diamond lots of times throughout the day and it's nearly 40 years old. It'd break my heart to lose it.

Oh bugger! I'm sorry about your diamond Cinds, as what I was about to say will sound very crass.
My mother did in fact walk out with a particular Canadian pilot, and we still have photos of her with him. Alas! Two of her other boyfriends were killed. They were strange times. My Dad returned home the local hero after kicking that 'Itler's arse across Europe and she fell for him.

Rory McIlroy announced today that he and fiancÃĐ, Caroline Wozniacki have broken up:

http://www.theguardian.com/spo...ngagement-called-off

 

“There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people,” McIlroy said. “The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.

 

“I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting.”

 

Cold Sweat

Just been out for dinner with my family for Dads birthday (tomorrow). Anyway he took me to one side and gave me this watch what he wants the boy to have, I said but Dad you've got 7 grandsons, and he said yes but he's the only one that has always hugged me and still does, giving me a kiss and tells me he loves me. My Dad's father gave him the watch, my grandfather loved watches and fixed and made them. (as an aside, when doing my family tree my grandfathers family were watchmakers back in the 1700's). 

 

I'm thrilled to bits for the boy, but also a bit hmmmmm why is Dad giving his stuff away!

Awwwwwwwwww Cinds that's really lovely - Mr woo has a watch like that he got it for his 21st (it was antique then - he's not that old).

 

I know what you mean about the way your Dad's thinking - my mum keeps wanting to give stuff away ........I just snap at her and tell her to stop being so bloody morbid. Then when I leave I feel all guilty.

 

Probably shot myself in the foot as she'll just give everything to my sis (not that she's much to leave - bless).

I heard that yesterday and had thought 'could you not have told her BEFORE the invitations went out'.
