Poor old Theo got a freezing cold soaking yesterday, this beech tree was rotten/hollow and full of water and was spraying back at him as he cut it up !

I used to have patterns like that on the inside of my bedroom window when I was a kid. No central heating in those days!

I use to think our house in Saddleworth was cold .Four floor stone built alongside a river. My bedroom was above the kitchen on the third floor but my sisters bedroom was in the attic on the forth floor.
We only got central heating when North Sea Gas came to the area. It was a package of a boiler, water heater and set amount of radiators. For some reason they couldn’t put a radiator in the attic but I had one in my bedroom.

We had gas lighting and no electricity when we lived in Throstle Walk in Chadderton. It was luxury to move to a council house, also in Chadderton, with an inside loo, electricity and a fireplace in the living room... Those were the days of miracle and wonder...

We’ve only recently got electricity in Cornwall..

While on holiday we came across a reminder that some people have to work for a living.

First glimpse of the sun for what seems like weeks on a walk around Solva, Pembrokeshire.

Went out for a celebratory birthday meal recently (stretching the ‘photo from the last 24hours’ rule slightly as I never like to reveal actual birthdays on social media for security)
Mrs KNWH and I share the same birthday, although different years, and it was also exactly 50 years since our first date.
She ordered a glass of Prosecco and then they brought us two more complimentary glasses as they knew it was a celebration. I don’t drink, but she did her best. Also got a candle in our desserts (obviously not the whole number of candles required: no dessert is big enough )

Net curtains! You woz posh.

Net curtains! You woz posh.

What are net curtains, and why do they even exist?

What are net curtains, and why do they even exist?

They are/were to allow privacy, you can see out, but they're quite hard to see through from outside. Why we had them in the bedrooms & not downstairs, I don't know

SW Northumberland, the Stanegate (it’s the full name of the road) to the North of Bardon Mill just South of the so called Military Road with Hadrians Wall running along the skyline. First 4 photos looking NW across the famous Roman fort and settlement of Vindolanda (worth a google and especially a visit for anyone touring the area) A very careful drive mid afternoon, icy patches and snow on the road, but a stunningly beautiful landscape a five minute drive from home.

Very tall by passers around your way ?
