Monday Post

 Good morning

Today for a change I will take you to the Crossness Pumping station. The pumping station is on the Thames and was built in the 1800s.  and was used well into 1900. It has been taken over but a charity which operates it a few times a year. This raises money for its upkeep. All are volunteers.

  1. Good morning, Trev. This is really nice to see. Thank you for sharing this. I love seeing the past. I love Bette Midler. John Williams is great. It's my first time listening to him.
    I started my PT last Tuesday. I go this morning for my lower back. I see a lady that is great. Enjoy your Monday. Smiles, Debbie

  3. I tried to comment on your blog Sunday but for some reason it wouldn't post. I loved the car show pictures and the historical ones today. Beautiful!

    Great music. Haven't heard Bette in long time or Annie Lennox. Nice to listen to all the music in the morning while sipping coffee.

    Have a great week!
