Sadly, both Redgates and Beaties have gone. Used to love both those shops. Bought my train set from Beaties!

Pah!!! I'm back in the States now.

Who said I needed a canoe? Out of ten days, one drizzled (cycling to Hawes in the Dales) and the day I left the UK it rained as I was in the back of a car going down the M1 so that hardly counts. It was pretty much shorts and t shirt weather -the day I went to Sheffield I cursed I had a sweatshirt with me.

As I said to my brother, I just don't believe it rains as much as you say ;-)

Did you check out the city centre and see how much it's changed, by any chance?

You know I did, and it has. I've got to say it is much nicer (but then again, I was there during the '70s, hardly a booming time for the city), and I will be honest and say I don't miss the egg box at all. I don't know if it was controversial, but I thought the sculpture outside the train station was really nice, and a very impressive sight as soon as you got outside. I didn't take the super tram but a bus from the centre out to Hillsborough -but that was due to being with my next door neighbour from the States and he wanted to go on a double decker bus -though we ended up on a single decker anyway.

I knew I was getting old when I went to see where I used to hang out as a kid -a place called Wadsley Common up the road from Hillsborough. Back in the day ("it were all fields it were") I recall it as rolling hillocks of heather and sandy soil and was absolutely flabbergasted to see all (big!) trees there now -it really took my breath away. And of course, everything was much smaller and distances had shrunk from how I recollect it as a kid.

God, I'm sounding old.
 
The longer one is away from somewhere the smaller it gets. What's that all about then? I went back to my old primary school in Haddington a couple of years ago and it was no bigger than a matchbox

Is that why if you are fat your penis shrinks? (can I say penis on here?)
