Thanks Joan, you are a luv..
As you may be able to tell folks, the weather has been bad today, didn't even want to get out of the car to take the photo.. Lol

joanlawson

This is the picture I always remember when I think of Skegness.



It sounds as though the weather has been so bracing today too, but I hope you've enjoyed yourself anyway, Tony.

tjt6768

Am certainly hoping for better weather tomorrow that's for sure.. Lol

Will try to get some nice pictures tomorrow..

tjt6768

Well folks.. The drowsy monster seems to be stood above me yet again, mallet clasped between both hands, ready to strike....
I fear I am not long for this forum....
Bump!!!

I believe the sun has tried to reappear in Skeggy, it's trying here too. I have never been to Skegness, I suspect I have missed out. I will have a word with Mr DD. DD

Thanks for the post card and to joan for uploading it.

Glad you are all having a good time and hopefully the sun is back out today for you. Glad you are managing to rest too.

Take care

I just heard from Tony that the sun is out again, so I hope he's having another good day.

We are back.Had a bad start as nan had the kids but their neighbour died Fri evening. He was an old family friend and we spent every Christmas past 15 years with him and his wife and some holidays. So children were upset by all this. We still felt we needed to go to the wedding. Our friends had their own tragedy in Feb and we felt the need to be there on their special day to show we cared
.When we left sun on Sat was shining as far as Nottingham but a bit grim after that. Then coming home today the sun started shining from Nottingham to the South!
Lovely in Middlesex now. Still I am sure you are having a great time Tony.

Knees are killing me too but that was sleeping in a different bed I'm sure!

home now folks... Suffering a fair bit but still enjoyed it.
From my lower spine to mi toes hurts... Will be resting now.
Had some tramadol to top the patch up.

Ra has missed us & is still crying like a baby... Lol

Think Joan might post some more pics on here later, didn't really take many as the weather wasn't great... Still, got to go to the seafront today, even had an ocean ice cream in the freezing cold, haha..

Sorry about the sad news you've had Elizabeth, but hope it was a good wedding hun.

Catch you all soon, hope I've not been missed too much :eek:

Thanks Cathy,
Poor Alf was in pain and immobile towards the end so he's now at peace

Tony, loads of strokes for Ra and hope you get a nice rest over the next few days.

Elizabeth

tjt6768

Not on for long, just popping in to say that I will no doubt be around more tomorrow.. I am absolutely shattered now, lol

Besides, typing is nigh on impossible when you have a big fat cat trying to force you to stroke him... :roll:

Catch you all later on

valval

is the chip shop still up there and is the pub still open and what about the cafe up there i do ask a lot of questions dont i lovely up there

tjt6768

Hi Val, chip box is still there on the corner of the Smith's arcade building, BUT.. Not sure if you knew or not, the Dunes pub got burnt to the ground a few yrs ago, most of the arcade was damaged too.. Never been opened since. It's only this last week or so that workmen have been anywhere near to the arcade section, which, by the way is the only bit left, the pub isn't there at all, was demolished after the fire...

:shock:

valval

tjt6768

Mum & Dad now live at the end of Sea Lane, Ingoldmells.. On a retirement park home place, it's the best thing they ever did Val.. We all used to live in a fairly erm, rough part of Leeds, lol.. And it was getting worse by the day...
