What was the firm then?

Earby Light Engineering. They had recently moved from Northside in Earby and took over Dotcliffe Mill

On Tuesday April 8th 1969 I entered this workshop to start my 5 year apprenticeship. It was the start of my 51 years working in machine shops. In all that time I was never fired, made redundant or laid off. How many these days get that opportunity ? This, of course, is a picture of Dotcliffe Mill. A...

It's going to be Minus 20C here on Sunday evening/night.
Deep Joy...

This looks promising

British actor Tom Wilkinson RIP

I recently ordered pelican at a restaurant for the first time. It was pretty good, but the bill was enormous!

I put up the tree yesterday

Thank you all for the birthday greetings.
This appeared at the door yesterday evening, a gift from my sister in Australia.
Lots of goodies

Belated Birthday Wishes, Ian.

Mick

I tried donating blood today... NEVER AGAIN!!!

Too many questions. Like, "Who's blood is this?", "How did you get it?" "Why is it in a bucket?"

We have just finished watching this mini series and thought it was good

My youngest grandson, Kurtis, has done well in his exams.
He's heading for Staffordshire University in Stoke on Trent mid September.

Well done that lad

I thought that law applied in the UK too? Or have I been in the States too long

I remember the first Vincent 1000cc motorbike I ever saw.
It was owned by Doug, the barber in Earby.

Thanks for mentioning this series. We have just watched and thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's hot here at the moment, 111F (38.8C) on the heat index yesterday. Deep Joy (not). At this time of year I try to ensure there's water out for any visitors who pass through. https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/27185/medium https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/...

We see one or two every year. One came in the garden when my daughter (who lives in Barlick) came to visit me.
She said "What the hell is that, Dad?

Armadillo caught on camera last night in the front garden, calling in for a drink out of the bird bath.

Kippered herrings and toast for lunch. (smelly but nice)
Going to make chicken burgers for dinner this evening.

Tell us what the picture is about Mick? It is indeed Kathleen Astin and Frank Bannister's wedding. Not sure of the date. I have no idea where I got this (and a few other ) images of their wedding. :smile: I recognise Mr Cockroft on one of the others I have. I'd put them up here but I was unsure whi...

We watched the film Fisherman's Friends: One and All last night https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10373344/ Not as good as the original in my opinion but it did get me remembering my days in the boys choir at Barlick Modern and the wonderful Miss Astin who inspired us to sing our hearts out. :love2: http...

We re watched A Spy Among Friends. Excellent TV in my opinion and certainly worth another look.
