Morning all.
((((Ally)))) As the others have said, we've all been thinking of you xx
Had the usual walk with Billy first thing, usual as in usual time but every walk is different as he decides which paths we'll take once he's off his lead
I've got to pick some prescriptions up shortly and also get a stamp from the post office and get John's Mom's birthday card in the post in time for Friday. I also need to order her some flowers, I'm thinking of trying Bloom and Wild as they've got some lovely selections at the moment and, seeing as she's having neighbour problems (yet again), if she's out the box will go through her letterbox.
We went down to the edge of the estate yesterday to see the winding wheel put in place. There was a large crowd there, a lot of people around here have connections to the pit either having worked there themselves or having a family member employed there (myself included, my Grandad worked there until he retired). I think there's going to be a proper opening ceremony next month when the memorial garden is complete but it looks like it'll be really lovely (and much better than the 'sculpture' on the main traffic island as you enter Cannock which, rather than commemorate the local mining past, looks like a pile of scrap metal has been fly tipped.
Have a good day all xx
