My mum's family have a vault at Crooke's cemetery...or at least I think it's Crookes. :eek: Crookes used to be the driving test run when I was learning to drive. our old motor used to be a bugger to start in the damp mornings so we always used to park facing downhill, you could coast along for miles if it weren't for other traffic i wouldn't mind going back there but living a bit further out in to the peaks if anywhere in the UK feels like home it would be there rabbling on, sorry Nic |

It's where I belong no matter how long I've been away. |

Good to hear from you N and that you're both settling in OK.
(BTW Brisbane always looks so green from the air on the approach to the airport - but the City is still on level 5 water restrictions!) Take care of yourselves and enjoy it all:thumbup: |
Re: I can't be bothered thinking a title up.
Found you :thumbsup: It's all sounding great apart from living with rellies but that's not a good move whatever the situation. Sure it won't last long.
When you decide to move again ;) don't forget to sign back in:D |
