Billy Ward took our wedding photos too, St. Paul's Choppington, then at the Bedlington Bottom Club in 1974.1 point -
I was taken to task when I designed this and had it installed. My reply, it will become something people want to take pictures of, and I have seen many owners with their dogs doing just that! Great to see it as a sold out Christmas card too.......... "Front Street News & Post Office We’ve managed to get hold of a few more Bedlington Xmas cards. These will go quickly and we won’t be getting any more printed this year."

I did try photoshop for a couple of months. One of my daughters tried to move me on from my old software and got me a years monthly subscription to photoshop. That was two modules/apps - Lightroom and I can't remember the other one - at about £20 a month. I played with it for the two months then went online to photoshop and convinced them I was too old to change and just had to cancel the contract. Told them, via online messaging, that I was 83 years old and that I just couldn't make the change from my old software. They wanted another 8 months monthly subscription to cancel the contract but I managed to persuade them to just cancel the contract without a cancellation fee of 8 months payments. Saved the daughter £200 and I just carried on with my Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10. As one of my 'hobbies from home' is repairing old damaged photos for members of Facebook groups and Rootschat I can't see me learning something new whilst the old software works fine for me. A couple of my recent repairs :-

Wilf's here! It's officially Christmas! A very merry Christmas to you all. Stay safe and avoid Covid and we'll see each other in the new year. Meanwhile, I've said this before and it's worth repeating:

From the album: Doctor Pit and Rows
This photo shows the coal washer that was in use at the Doctor Pit until the 1940’s. The waste material from this washer formed the pit heaps around the Doctor Pit (now rehabilitated and covered in trees.) This was a fantastic adventure playground for the kids in the area. There was what would be known today as a BMX track – we called it a “scrambler track”. Sliding down the heaps on a piece of conveyor belt or corrugated iron sheet was also popular. Much of the heap was still burning so you had to make sure you didn’t end up falling into a section that was still smouldering. Health and Safety was not such a big thing then and you had to carry out your own risk assessment before heading out to the heaps! There was also a pedestrian tunnel went under the heaps and railway line known as the “cundy” and this could be a bit scary for a kid.1 point
