What was that rhyme about red sky in the morning?

This pic hasn’t quite captured it all, but there’s red everywhere

It looks like my rose is surviving and another bloom is being born.

All three plants are doing well, despite me.

The rose will be as tall as my back fence soon

Thank you @Helen39 I am having such a lovely time it proves to me that you can turn this horrible situation around. I know it doesn’t make it better but it does help heal my heart and proves I can keep swimming.

I also saw my red kite which I believe is Vic’s spirt telling me it’s okay

@Johnr is making me a YouTube but in the meantime

Hi Catherine

It’s great that they have kept this as a museum. I don’t think there are many pits left now. Such a shame that the whole industry disappeared along with the wonderful communities around them.

I hope you and John have more adventures planned. Your very lucky to have all of this to view anytime you choose. I’m sure your Vic is watching you in your adventures and I’m sure he’s proud x

Helen the Big Pit was really interesting. The time spent underground was a bit iffy at times, especially for someone of my mature years. For safety reasons we weren’t allowed to take phones, cameras or in fact anything with a battery so unable to film anything.

There was lots of stopping down involved to avoid hitting your head , so my bad back is playing up tonight.

The place is well worth a visit if you are ever in the region. I’ll load a YouTube video of the various pics we took tomorrow. In the meantime…

Looks a very interesting place to visit
I think it’s so important for these places to keep going . And pass the history down to the future generations.

After another day out today, I’m going to rest my old body tomorrow.

Will do a bit of work on my computer and maybe cut the grass if the weather’s fine. Hopefully it’ll rain :smirking_face:

I put up some curtains on the front door, getting ready for winter as it’s made it nice and dark at night. Almost as dark as the mine. :grinning_face:

Didn’t get up till 9.20, so having an easy day after going down the mine yesterday. Doing some work on videos.

Try to have as good a day as you can

Finished off the door curtains by putting some tie-backs on.

They were brand new and I found them when packing up ready to move. Jackie must have intended using them at one time. :cry:

Of course my little helper supervised
