view from my bedroom.

lovely view to have Marge

Thanks Marge.
It's a wonderfull view.
There's an old colliery not far from here where my grandfather was killed in an accident many yrs before I was born.
A few yrs ago they planted trees there like this one where you live. My Dad, my brother and his boys and me all went to plant one in memory of him.
Maybe I'll put a photo of the place one day.
It's good that these old derelict places are being regenerated now.
You must live in a beautiful place.
I've added it to my fav list.

Wonderful description of part of UK history - thank you. The view is lovely and the wildlife sounds great even if it is at the expense of people and the community. Such a shame about the level of fear parents have for their children today. I'm glad I'm not young anymore!

A lovely view, a big improvement I'm sure over what was there, but it's sad that the community has died along with the mine. We have to be so adaptable these days, as individuals and as communities, life and circumstances move and change so fast. And yes you're so right, Magnoliatree, we had so much more freedom years ago as children to have fun, have accidents and suffer scraped knees, learn from them and grow.
