Staines/Laleham is what I’m on the border of now! My road is very long and depending where you live on it it’s classified as either Staines, Ashford or Laleham!I love Windsor. One of the many places we have lived over the yearswas Staines/Laleham. I wish we had visited more, but you know what it's like when something is on your doorstep, you take it for granted.

We were down at Penton Hook. Just up from the marina. It was lovely. I used to enjoy walking the river up to Staines. My partner worked down towards Egham, that's why we initially moved there. We wanted out of London for a bit but I missed it too much, so we went back. I think we were there for about 18 months in total. Good times.
this video never fails to cheer me up. I nearly spit my coffee out this morning watching it. The sausages in the box look so like Katie in her outfit.
Enjoy!
haha The famous Scottish munchie box!
It's no wonder Scotland is the heart attack capital of Europe!I'm glad to hear your Mum is home and on the mend, Harri.
That’s where I go walking most days! From the Wheatsheaf and Pigeon pub turn left onto the towpath….past Penton Hook and on to Laleham boat club and back again.We were down at Penton Hook.

Have you ever passed the guy who walked the river with a parrot on his shoulder? I used to see him regularly. lol We lived just behind the big block of white flats on the River after the Wheatsheaf towards the marina - Penton hook road. It's funny to think we may have crossed paths at some point. It's a small world.That’s where I go walking most days!

Yes Monty the sulphur crested cockatoo! I’ve got a photo somewhere….I’m off to look. Oh wow yes we’ve probably passed each other at some point!

Thank god you knew what I was talking about. After I posted I thought, she’s going to think I’m a weirdo asking about men and parrots. Lol And it’s not even a parrot! Monty the cockatoo - I knew he’d be a local celeb.

I'm racking my brain but can't think of it....I know I probably would remember it if I saw picture. Though how could you forget a pool! I remember the houses across the river from the towpath...
*I'm away to street view to jog my memory. lol
Well it looks completely different now….they’ve completely remodelled it …kept the external structure but completely gutted internally….and the pool has gone! Mind you I wouldn‘t have gone in the pool with everyone walking past gawping at youI'm racking my brain but can't think of it....I know I probably would remember it if I saw picture.

. Looks like it’s going to be really nice. And there’s a mahoosive one been built from scratch on the other side of the river…absolutely enormous!
Indeed! Galileo Galileo etc etcMorning Krustiebums.
Funder and lightening,very,very frightening
Hello all! Very late today as been out with OH as he was going to buy another van and I was going to be allowed to drive his truck back, however he can't take it to tomorrow so I need not have gone after all Never mind though because it was a nice drive once the rain stopped; We seem to go from boiling hot to drenched every hour currently.
Glad to see Mum is home again though Harri and I'll bet she's glad to be there too back with you all again
Right I'd better get done on here and off to peel the prawns for dinner tonight so TTFN
xxxThere was a few houses that were really run down on the towpath on the way up to the Sainsburys. Really sorry looking properties. I wonder if it's one of them you're talking about. The gardens were always overgrown and flooded. It's the ones where the gates went right onto the towpath. I've tried to look on streetview but they don't have many pictures.Well it looks completely different now….they’ve completely remodelled it …kept the external structure but completely gutted internally….and the pool has gone!

Yeah, I don't fancy one of them either! Especially in my bikini! lol There's far too much foot traffic, you'd never get peace. And I bet renovated they are a pretty price. I remember looking at one of the flats on the river that was for sale and it was half a million ten years ago. It's funny money in Surrey.
ETA We were in a house behind these flats...

Dolly and for those of you wanting to know. Babs, mum’s cat has said she will put off having her boobs done for the time being but is still into making money on the side. She’s looking at those pay per view videos where people are force fed cake until they explode. Not sure if it’s a goer but any ideas for money making for a large white cat are welcome!
Oh my lovely harri, it's great to have you back
I've missed your great sense of humourI am trying to refrain from making any fat pussy comments
Hope all is going well today, lots of love
