I remember my nana using a wringer washing machine and boiling up copper kettles. You don't look like you could possibly be of that era. We no doubt have become an impersonal society.

It's called my a.m. cup of coffee. <br /><br />It's really nice not having to beat clothes on rocks before washing them in the stream. <br /><br />Except that's where you had your best neighborly chats; sitting amongst the rocks. <br /><br />In my day we drew pictures of one another instead of using a camera. <br />Pam Beers.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05207051298647053528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-33805464632305669242013-07-18T20:27:19.204+01:002013-07-18T20:27:19.204+01:00Great post Valerie.

I've just added to our current compliment of plug-ins with a charger for the new cordless hedge trimmer - not that this needs to fly with us.Elliot Sampfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376637671348086588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-32525295768468146562013-07-18T09:16:37.206+01:002013-07-18T09:16:37.206+01:00Good morning, Herman.
