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.

    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

    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!

    Interesting pictures!

    Love Cavatina. Such beautiful music.

    Let me count the ways I love Bette’s The Rose. Beautiful. Haven’t seen this video version.

    Iconic Annie Lenox!

    Sweet Caroline – what a great orchestration of that song!

    Love the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Wonderful version.

    Is this pumping station for water? Loved the HM Royal Marines.

Thursday's post "Airshow"

Image
 Good morning. This should have been posted on Tuesday but busy after the BH just got in the way. Sunday I went to Headcorn airfield to see a friend's son jump out of a perfectly good plane.  His choice.  When we got there they had an air display and a classic car meet one, this was not known to us. My friend (not the one jumping) has a damaged tendon at the back of his knee and can't walk too far. So we didn't bother with the cars. We set u at the cafe and stayed there until his son did his jump. This is where I took my photos. Not my friends son These next two were taken last year with better weather As you can see I have a real thing about the Spitfire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orc6_w1pdZA www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GCXur2Ehw www.youtube.com/watch?v=skrxCrsN290 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzEeJZ92X8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERTcUmTE2ck&t=6s Have a great day
