Yes,it is not far from me,lovely walking round there,we had a huge swimming pool right in middle of forest,loved going there in late fifties,sixties and seventies it was called the Lido.Wow Dolly that looks amazing. What a lovely place to grow up in.
It looks a bit like Chepstow hospital. I was there in my teens having plastic surgery on my nut after I fell down the stairs and cut my head open. I'm going back to work in a weeks time. I hope the guys have left my pillar drill alone. Love MrsC xxxxThis is exact image of the type of Nissan hut I lived in.

Hi GullriHi, yes what a lovely quilt Harri made for you Dolly
I really like to see all the quilts Harri makes! Very talented our Harri
The nights are getting darker here and today it will be 14C haha . Just a couple of weeks ago we had 30C.
I work from home a lot as a freelance graphic designer Harri, almost too much to do at the moment. But I am grateful, had a hard time and lost a big client last winter-now I have a found a new one so I sit by my computer working in my living room
They had soldiers housed during WW2,then later soldiers before moving on to bases etc,council purchased them and rehoused families.Supposed to be very temporary until a flat/house was available.Wow Dolly that looks amazing. What a lovely place to grow up in.

Bet it still tastes good - it all goes the same way tho Mrs CI remember ice on the inside of the bedroom windows and no central heating. We didn't have a proper bath until I was about ten. I've just made a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. duck me. It's a disaster. It looks like it's been in a car crash. I'll stick to my carvings and toolmaking I think. The frosting tastes nice though. MrC is going to piss himself laughing later. I'll phone him to pick up some cheesecake. Lol.x
I have a landseer - she's called bear!What dog have you got?. What's his her name? How many cats have you got and what breed, what are their names. What type of fish have you got. Oh so many questions. I'm being nosey
I had a fish tank once. It got broke and it was full of catfish. My husband and I were fighting at the time. I took them to the garden centre to save them. Sushi. Does it mean you are eyeing them up to eat. We eventually got a hobby we both enjoyed..... a divorce. I'm glad your pets are happy and settled. I've never heard of a landseer. I'll have to google that one. Love MrsC xxxxI have a landseer - she's called bear!
Three cats which are all rescues.
2 fish which we call sushi
Xxxxxxx
I make some layouts, logotypes, webpages and illustrate kind of boring things like manuals -but it’s fun to be able to be creative for a livingHi Gullri
oh brilliant what type of things do you draw? You obviously are a very talented, artistic lady
ooh 14C sounds ok I’m always hot these days but I’m sure I will be complaining when it gets cold. Has it been warmer than normal this year for you?
Good that you can work from home. Oh I’m sorry I hope you get lots of work to keep you busy so you are ok

Mrs C related to the Newfoundland doggies..Just looked it upI'm a bit defensive over my tools. I locked a lot of stuff away. That's my livelihood. My trade I can't do much about the pillar drill and bench drill. MrC laughs about me worrying about my tools. He says I don't know any woman like you. He's not with me for my cooking skills that's for sure. He says that your autism is part of who you are and anyone who dismisses you for that are shallow and don't deserve the best parts of you. It's a challenge he said but I don't love you any less. He's a strong capable loyal man and I always tell him how much I love and appreciate him and his efforts. He said you are always working to better yourself and you make me feel very loved and wanted He's been there no matter what. That's true love. On a serious note though I don't take any tit. Love MrC. He rocks x

Mum watches this rubbish German soap opera about a hotel. There’s a miniature pig called Chantal with black spots, she’s unbelievably cute. We love animals!
That’s so interesting Dolly. I love hearing about peoples lives. That Lido was huge.They had soldiers housed during WW2,then later soldiers before moving on to bases etc,council purchased them and rehoused families.Supposed to be very temporary until a flat/house was available.

middy that’s was my fave place every summer school holidays from when I was 14,it was massive..Loved it.Only short walk from our flat opposite forest.That’s so interesting Dolly. I love hearing about peoples lives. That Lido was huge.
aww Rita I know..sad eh?oh I love Mr Cholomondky-Warner fantastic voice and the clipsView attachment 1551005 This was our Lido way back when; Many a long summer day spent here but sadly its now all gone to be replaced by yet more obscenely expensive housing. A sad indictment of how life has changed and not for the better
Gawd I have gone all reminiscent now! Now this was my old home town again in 1968 when we got flooded, but for us kids it really was the most exciting event EVER when sent home from school early then having a thirty minute race home before the tidal wave came swooshing down our road! My siblings and I were rescued by the army on one of those DUKW things.
I love the Mr Cholomondly-Warner voiceover too LOLhttps://youtu.be/g9WxiPsIuCk
