VISTA, It's back Alan, my son was able to re-install and get it working, I don't go on line with it now but do like my old programs that are much more friendly than newer ones. Now to save anything I can before it dies again.

Seems logic to me. To follow a conversation I read the next posting, then it's answer, and so on, not the last posting and not understanding how the conversation arrived there! but as long as one understands how it is being posted then all is good! Could your "settings" be wrong or different? one for the experts.

For me this appears to be the most logical way to follow the conversation! (But I do have difficulty moving around the Gallery especially closing pictures.)

This is the contents of "The Geordie Cook Book, 9The other book has "Panackelty") I'm not sure if we are allowed to copy from the books without permission?

Essential reading.

Covid is looking good! and 9am and it's only 22c, rain forecasted around 2pm.I hope it is an inside wedding!

I agree, anything above 22c is waisted on me, I'm in the garden 7am or 8pm watering etc, like the plants I wilt in the heat, otherwise it's put down the awning on the south window, and stay inside as much as possible. Tomorrow I've been asked to drive a wedding couple around town in my old T, I hope it has cooled down by then, July 1st should also be Canada day celebration but it was moved to Saturday (due to Covid) so that may be a parade drive! Luckily we have a very dry heat so it isn't as bad as in the east where it is humid, but this heat also causes the snow on mountain tops to melt and the rivers are high and if it rains we will have big floods! Now 52c is a bit too much, but temperature is a bit like age, just a number, it's how you deal with it! Eggy 20c at three in the morning was very welcome. On the bright side tomorrow in Alberta most of our Covid restrictions are lifted!

Longtitude and latitude! Grande Cache is 53.8886N 19.1143W Those numbers are for Choppington west of the A1068 highway. And it's 37c right now!

I must agree about the new potatoes!

So true CL about learning about others, I feel I know the other regulars quite well now. I like to go through the questions I know the answers too, then I Google what's left, sometimes a know a lot of the answers but then most of the time I have to learn a lot! Having spent 25 years in gaol I met my share gangsters etc (and most of them were inmates!) Not being from Bedlington I thought I'd better leave this one to the experts! Then sometimes I'm left guessing, like #18 answer, was the 1.1 mile difference because the tide out when Eggy measured it? Thank's again. Vic

You are not alone! We are also being governed by the same uncaring self interested politicians , I can't name a country that is being run for the interest of the average normal person who elected them!

These are two I have, not sure where they came from, my father in law Bill Dagless used to live in #2, I believe it was the first window to the right of the lady by the arch.

Happy birthday Foxy, I hope you're having a good one.

I bet that is what's they said in Sleekburn too, I don't think its the ordinary people who are behind it.

Behave yersell! nowt wrong with Blyth.

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers, it seems no matter how prepared you feel you are it is still a shock, that is when friends and family are so important. Creating memories is very important, not long ago we called her sister Joyce, their first conversation was of a four year olds Christmas in Phillips Yard and an "incident" with a dolly that had a celluloid face! Creating and recounting memories is so important. We brought her bedridden mom Ruby with us to Canada, in a few years the dry mountain air enabled her to regain some mobility and was able to walk and attend her weekly "Bingo" 19 bonus years. Bonus memories for her grand children! Thank you again for you appreciated thoughts. Vic.

Vegreville is predominately settled with Ukrainian immigrants, mainly farmers, and the pysanka being their traditional way of decorating Easter eggs, the area is well known for its heritage preservation, music, dancing, singing etc and like many other small towns they like to advertise their clams to fame by erecting a large symbol, which also happens to be a wind vane! Grande Cache has a Grande Cache!

It's permanent CL, nicely located in a park not too far from the highway making it a good rest area for travellers.
