Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread

I tried to find cottages with snow in Wales and found this. I don't know if it is for real or not?

I agree the pictures don't look right. Part 2 shows a different house to part 1. The story might be correct, but the photos aren't.

Th cottage in the first picture in part two is a tea shop near my Moms house. Has been for the last 25 years or more.
http://www.tuhwntirbont.co.uk/ in the site pictures the vines are all green though, but it is definitely the same place.

On a different note - just read on the BBC website that Eric Sykes has died. Great comedian - absolutely loved his television shows, especially when he worked with Hattie Jacques. RIP Eric.
