I bought hubby a watch which didn't need a battery or winding up. It goes on light recharging. He's had it years.

I've got one or two old coins from when daughter was little.
Hubby has a collection of really old coins from his mum. I looked on the internet a few years ago but couldn't find any which were worth anything!
Same with my boxed set of Beatles singles. Only been played once as I recorded them and played the recording. Guess what - that particular box isn't worth much at all!
Mind you I might just have another look to see if it's altered!

These days it's generally cheaper to buy new appliances, it's annoying though isn't it when they seem to last as long as we would expect.
Gone are the days when we rented a tele and if they went wrong the shop had their own engineers to come out and fix if possible.
We used Marshalls in Clay Cross for many years and they were pretty good at sending out engineers to fix things. These days it's the same as everywhere - buy a new one!
Improving Technology hasn't helped us in the repair section has it.

« on: April 13, 2024, 04:01:11 PM »Just saw on B.B.C. news this morning a lady horse trainer was being interviewed and he interviewer remarked how "she" had lost a horse yesterday as it had to be put down and her basic cavalier reply was along the lines of:-
"Hey ho these things happen, not too worry I've got more".
I'll never understand why it's even called a sport, and why the need for horse trainers? correct me if I'm wrong but don't horses already know how to run, they don't need to be shown.
Hard hearted or what abd here's me crying if I like a Hedgehog!

We move around for eating out places.
The Blue Bell North Wingfield ( Carvery) booking needed
The Greyhound Higham. (Sunday Roast) are two we use Booking needed.
Harversters, Smithy Pond, There's one in Newbold Olde House
We also have called in at Tansley Garden Centre ( they do a carvery) on Sundays.
Over the years I think they have all had their blips and we've given them a break for awhile - maybe it's to do with the Chefs??
We are going to Nandos this weekend for a birthday celebration Haven't been their for ages.
Six Halts in Clay Cross - I won't go there!
Actually there's a pub in Clay Cross which has a good name for food but I've never been as yet and can't think of the name!!

It's a long time since I heard that word.
If I was needing one after a long trip, - having to go to the precinct toilets ----- it would be too late.

I've now booked speakers for 2025. All Derbyshire. have to admit I've been pecking their heads since last year so I'm really pleased they have all agreed to come.
Our next speaker is in June this year and is the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Portable Antiquities officer Meghan King who will bring along some of their 'Handling Finds' when she visits.
More nearer the time

Lovely day today, I've just pegged the washing out, opened the shed door where my over wintered Hedgehogs are as it's too warm inside.
I've heard we have a cold snap over the weekend but fingers 🤞 we can move fully into spring!
