There are now broken windows, there is no security but there are hundreds of pidgeons emerging from the property. This is a Grade II Listed building! Look at the state of it! Who owns it now? Why hasn't the owner or Stockton Borough Council done anything about the disrepair? Look at the weeds and moss. Please can anybody help with this mess? I'm close to tears. :'-(

Old Windows

P872

Google street view shows our old windows. I like my new windows but wish I could have my little top window back.

Windy!

Even my spoffle couldn't stop this bloody strong gale from getting through to my iPhone mic!

New Workplace?

I've been told that from September this is where I will be working.  They seem to change their minds a lot so I'll believe it when I see it.

If I could still walk, this is the route I'd take...

...but as I can't walk that far, this is the bus route I should take.

I shall have to alight near home at a different bus stop so I won't be able to sit at my bench anymore on my walk home.  :-(

Desert Island Discs - Richard Griffiths

This actor (Uncle Vernon Dursley in Harry Potter films) comes from my town of Stockton-on-Tees and I was delighted to hear that he attended exactly the same college as me - Stockton/Billingham Technical College.  I well remember hearing Sir Bruce Forsyth practicing his Billingham Forum performance on the college stage, bossing everyone around with a mean temper, but had no idea Richard had attended my college too.

So, take a listen and learn more about this local man.
