May I have this dance please?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Jul

When we saw this board in the Shackleton Hall showing old-time dances, it took us back many years to the time Vince played drums in a dance band. The group called themselves the Evergreens and played for old-time dances. The...

Can you see the pattern in the cement?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Jul

The image shows part of the netting and cement which the local people used to create the swimming pool at Gorge Rock. I wrote about Gorge Rock last discussion. Can you see the pattern of the wire in the cement? The pool was 68...

Cherry harvest

Fleur @Fleura (32025) • United Kingdom 8 Jul

My partner loves cherries, and was hankering after a cherry tree or two, although we don’t have the best space for them really – all the best, sunny spots are already taken. But then last autumn I came across a special offer of...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jul

Australia's day of shame on the cricket pitch

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jul

We’ve been on two road trips recently, both quite short. Soon after we set off on the first one, we realised we had very little cash with us. The only pin number Vin could remember was for Bendigo Bank. We weren’t likely to need...

Decorous accommodation for respectable couples

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jul

The historic town of York in Western Australia trades on its past in a way. Some shops have old-fashioned products on ancient shelving and signage has terminology more suited to the early 20th century. The image shows the...

Why am I finding this so hard?

Fleur @Fleura (32025) • United Kingdom 7 Jul

My mother kept a lot (most!) of the things from my childhood, including many clothes, and then when I had children they had a new lease of life; Big One wore them, and in many cases Little One wore them as well. By then they had...

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52866) • United States 6 Jul

My poor husband broke the bottom part of one of his upper front teeth when he was a teenager. He was swimming and somehow hit it on the concrete pool. It was repaired and lasted until yesterday. I guess after nearly 50 years it...

Ron Rybs It is just the name they gave to the event. Since they are basically human powered puppets, it can't be much of an uncontrolled stampede!

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358471) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Jun
