COLD DARK ROOM

Where are you originally from?

South West England, a horrible industrial town called Bridgwater.
My family were rural country farmers and Welsh miners from across the Bristol Channel.
I'm a peasant.

You. . . you. . . you peasant, you!

 

[DE42]

And everywhere!
I hate spoiling people's fun, it's like telling people there tortoises shouldn't be in pairs or cheese is dangerous and they should post it all to me.
Not nice to do, but sometimes necessary.

CHEESE IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!! WHAT???!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yeah! Even she knew my bike's sound. When I came home even I don't use horn to intimate, she used to run over the door and wait for me to open it, then she started meow and happy dance. I loved her so much. She was my 1st cat(kitten) as well. I ordered every possible thing available here for cats from cat litter box, litter, food even comb and poop scoop. Everything available. Some of these things I ordered from another city (Lahore). I loved her so much and she too, she used to sleep just next to me, and she also liked to lick me sometimes. Cats are so adorable and cute.[emoji173]
And she was someone really special. I used to talk with her and she listens everything sitting on my lap. [emoji173][emoji7]

I always used to have cats in the UK.
But here it's difficult, the local children are not good to them.
So I don't have one now.
But I have my Tidgy! (my superstar tortoise)
And now SPLAT ! ! ! !(a baby tortoise)

Not for me!
I have a lot of reptile DNA, I think!

Absolutely.
And proud of it.

CHEESE IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!! WHAT???!!!

Just a ploy to get people to send me all their cheese.

 

[Moozillion]

Oops. What’s wrong with feeding bread to the ducks? That’s all they eat. I once tried to offer them watermelon. They responded with wild stares and a lot of fowl language.

HAHAHA!!!! I saw that!!!

I grew up on a small cattle farm, we had horses, goats, pigs all of the above and some etc [emoji41]

Wait! What did I miss? You now have a baby tortoise? What kind?

 

[Moozillion]

Certainly not 51!
15 possibly.
I've forgotten.

Does anyone REALLY know how many corners there are in the CDR?

I think the CDR grows and adds corners as the population increases.

The sun came out so I thought I had better get some postcards

Starting with The London Eye from Charing Cross Bridge

This little green hut it actually a Cabbies Hut. Built in the days of the horse and cart they were for taxi drivers to take refreshment... some of them still are

And then I went to the Savoy Queen’s Chapel. It’s actually the chapel of a hospital for the poor built by King Henry VII (the one before the one with 6 wives ) The Savoye Hospital has long since gone and the site is now occupied by a rather posh hotel - the original in its chain. The chapel remains and is the HQ of the Royal Victorian Order of chivalry.
