Re: One thing you miss

Our first little house was a tiny terraced cottage in a Lincolnshire village with a coal fire, i'd be hoarding logs in the shed from late summer thru autumn for wintertime. Lovely smell of apple logs burning and a few logs on the hearth to go on next. Fond memories.

One thing i miss is how neighbours bothered with each other.

They visit each other and look out for each other.

Spend time in each others houses.

I speak from experience of seeing neighbours in my mums house when growing up.

Guaranteed warm springs and summers and less rain

Almost everyone mentions summers being better when they were younger but I remember lots of rainy ones.

Summer of 1976 no rain for about 5 months

I know about that one, but it was exceptional.

1990, 1994 & 1995 were hot ones, with hosepipe bans being brought in.

I wish they'd show the 70's drama series of The Brothers and the Onedin Line ( plus Robinson Crusoe ) .

BBC 2 have been repeating The Pallisters & it's always worth keeping an eye on Drama & Yesterday's schedules for some oldies being reshown.

Re: One thing you miss

Theyve shown the onedin line a lot over the yrs repeats of it on itv 4.

One thing i miss are the long dr who stories anything from 4 to 7 parters of 24 mins and the cliffhangers.

I have to admit as a young lad we lived in the Countryside in a Cottage and had such a lifestyle as too

Great day's what I miss indeed

Yeah, I remember it being roasting outside at Easter time. I'd be out playing in my shorts and t shirt during the Easter holidays. Last night I had to close my bedroom windo because of an icy wind. An icy wind in July and people still deny climate change. I wonder if people will still be denying climate change when we have no crops because we don't get any sun anymore?
