Just about to read my daily bread and do a bit of studying, then attend to the menial stuff , putting up shelves , then fixing a new king-size bed which although a quality product in the matter of wood used the holding brackets are held in by quarter inch screws which have after a month fell out .
After attending to all the jobs crack open my one and only bottle of Stella and relax

It's exactly fifty years ago today since I left the Three Towns for England. Where did the time go ? Fifty years ago used to be the First World War....

I wouldn't want to go back and live there now; too depressing to walk along Dockhead Street thinking of the way it used to be. Though I hope to visit some day before I'm too old to climb Castle Hill.

But I could never have imagined way back then that it would be possible to " go back " without moving from my chair; to see how everywhere looks now with a click of the mouse on such a wonderful invention as Streetview; to keep up with the news on the A&S Herald website; above all, to be among Three Towns folk and reminisce with them , to live virtually in the Three Towns, via the truly amazing Threetowners website. I couldn't believe my luck when I came across it; I still can't believe my luck now, after over ten years of sheer enjoyment.

Thank you Hughie, a thousand times.

Ten years for me on the forum. Loved every minute.

Thank you very much Hughie.

Thanks, Susan and Brian. Maintaining the passion is not a problem.

At my grandsons end of term musical concert today I was surprised to hear the beautiful 'Skye Boat Song' being played by flutes and xylophones by 12
year olds. I must investigate, perhaps the music teacher has Scottish origins. I wonder if the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie was explained to these pupils. It dates back to 1870.
This was the last tune I expected to hear at an Italian school concert!

Jean, Cherlie was born and died in Rome.

Now that I did not know. Where did Flora MacDonald come in to It!

She helped him evade government forces after Culloden
