  • One thing you miss

    One thing I miss on a frosty morning or a chilly night is a roaring open fire could not beat it

    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.

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

                  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.

                          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?
