Hope all is well in your world m8, Can you remember how many cars there were in your street as a kid, Iaquired a photograph of this road i live in my parents lived here when i was at sea the picture was taken in 1971 there are 2 cars parked in the grove. These days they want 2 cars per person in the household. You can only put your foot on one gas peddle. Remember the old charabang trips we would take as schoolkids { SHE,L BE RIDING 2 WHITE HORSES WHEN SHE COMES AROUND THE MOUNTAIN } Bloody hell m8 that was when woman were woman.
