micky 3,325 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I needed a few marker pins so i looked in at the place i called home for the first eleven years of my life, no running water , no bathroom no electricity , and outside toilet , the picture with the upstairs fire was me and my sisters bed room the down stairs fire was the living room and it a cooking range the other end , the last picture was a well which was used daily in the garden were Pig sties Fowl pens and dog Kennels , i stood there a few minutes and saw a lot of Ghosts and thought i could move back tomorrow. 8 1 Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The Orchard is now a large Badger sett now the old Fellah would have turned in his grave if he saw that , he had lost the bottom of his leg WW1 he used to climb the stairs at night it made an awful noise and my sister used to tell me that it was Blind Mary coming to get my eyes and that would start me wailing , if Mam heard she would come in and my sister would say i had been swearing , CRACK. 6 4 Quote Link to post
