Thankyou 💜

[Issy22]

Beautiful I could look at that view all day. Thank you for sharing your lovely views. 💜

[Blackbird8 in reply to Issy22]

Thankyou 💜

[Issy22 in reply to Blackbird8]

I think I need to move to the countryside 😂

[Blackbird8 in reply to Issy22]

Oh we have our cities and towns around the New Forest area .. I'm glad I live where I am though 🥰

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

I did and never regretted the move, a different world, I was a townie until 6 years ago.

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

I have always lived in London. I hate the city now, it’s too built up and everyone is in a rush. The pollution doesn’t help the lungs either. Hopefully in a few years we will move.

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

You won't forget it - I was wary at first, but even the healthcare is better in village. I used to work in Croydon many years ago.

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

I’ve heard of Croydon never been there though. Iam an East end girl.

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

I quite liked Surry, maybe because of the Oval

[Ern007 in reply to Ern007]

SURREY - Can't edit.

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

Your a cricket fan Ern🏏

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Yea - sure am. I remember in the old days - There was giant gas holders next to the Oval.

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

I think they are still there

[Issy22 in reply to Issy22]

I googled it they are now listed buildings grade 11

Oval

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Yes and quite right, have a history and are iconic.

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

I think so but not working, they was decommissioned in 2016 - They used to with coal gas, rise to the full, and drop to near empty. Commentators talked at times as much about gas holders than they did about cricket.

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

Interesting

[Nula2 in reply to Issy22]

I live in a village and although I don't have the views Blackbird has (the beach is only a 30 min walk away but I can't manage that now!) but I've only to walk out for 5 or 10 mins and everyone smiles and says hello and some stop for a chat, which is lovely. When I go for hospital appointments I forget and smile at everyone I pass but I think they think I'm off my trolley because that doesn't happen in towns. I'm learning not to do it now. 😅. Hope eventually you're able to move 🤞xxx

[Issy22 in reply to Nula2]

Please don’t stop saying hello, who cares what they think. it doesn’t cost nothing for people to say hello or good morning. If I go to Cornwall for holiday, people are very pleasant. London is a different place now as I said to Ern everybody is in a rush to get somewhere.

[Nula2 in reply to Issy22]

Thank you Issy. Take care xxx

[Issy22 in reply to Nula2]

You too have a lovely day Nula2 x

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Must be nice to live near a beach - I would drive there in the car - Coastal Towns/Villages so close to the sea, means you can grow more tender plants, a lot more than we can in the NW. We always chose beach resorts wen we went abroad, even now confined to UK Mainland - We book hotels outside of Blackpool ,xx

[Nula2 in reply to Ern007]

Yes used to love to walk to the beach. Although I can't manage that now I still get the fresh breeze (or sometimes howling wind! :0( ) from it xxx

[Blackbird8 in reply to Nula2]

Never stop saying hello in my previous career as theatre lead nurse in the largest UK teaching hospital...I encountered a surgeon from a far away place who though pleasant enough could be a little arrogant and never say good morning to anyone...

I made it my mission to pop my face up everywhere he was on a daily basis to say in a shrill Gooooodd morning ..this went on for a few weeks and then he approached me one morning to ask why I did it as he thought I was quite odd ...

I explained to him that manners cost nothing and when ppl say hi good morning...

to him he should reply with manners that they have shown him ...

He exclaimed he was far far to busy to be bothered with pleasantries...

So standing at the operating table with him doing a long procedure I never spoke to him once I ignored his asking for certain things as I already had them to hand ......

After a 5 hour long operation he appeared in front of me and shrilled in his loudest squeakiest voice Goooodddd morninggggg and then said ...I have learned my lesson today..

After that there was never a morning where he didn't smile wave or say good morning to my staff ...

People sometimes need to be jolted into the real world and today they hold their heads and say nothing sadly...

You hold your head up and shout and smile somone will see and hear you and smile back knowing you shared a moment of being pleasant 😊

[Nula2 in reply to Blackbird8]

Yes I have done that in the village I live in. A person I often used to pass on my walks always walked round with his head down, I persevered and said hello every time we passed. Eventually he opened up and smiled. Now we even stop for a chat. He has an allotment near by and chats about that. Guess he was just a bit shy xxx

[Patk1 in reply to Issy22]

Me too Issy22.its such a calming image xx
