Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh.wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Dave: Alright, Eva, you ready for your weekly photo.
Eva: Sure thing. And we're definitely upstaging James Corden on this one!
Dave: James Corden? Are we doing carpool Karaoke?
Eva: Nope. Enthusiastic singing is more of Aggie's thing.
Dave: Makes sense. But I don't know why you're referencing James Corden when we're gone to take photos of you by this grove of trees covered in hoar frost.
Eva: Oh, because I'm upstaging his movie "Into the Woods".
Dave: We're upstaging his entire movie with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Chris Pine with a single photo of you posed in front of a grove of trees?
Eva: Darn tootin. You see coming "out of the woods" is always better than going "into the woods" regardless of the cast.
Dave: I didn't realize that.
Eve: Yup. There are much comfier beds and more reliable meal service when you're not stumbling around in the woods looking for a white cow and a red scarf.
Dave: But the white cow and red scarf drove the plot in that movie.
Eva: And I have spots like a cow and like to scarf down biscuits. So let's move along the plot of this photo and let me start scarfing down those motivational cookies.

We've had a bit of a magical January here with days upon days of hoar frost. This was taken in a grove of trees close to where we cross country ski within 5 minutes of our house. Saskatoon can be great in the winter for those who like the outdoors.

Updated the Rangers head to get rid of the Skull mask and added face camo instead.
The Kings guards have gold tipped spears now, they are less bulky than the ones they had before. The King now has a white cape with the Falcon logo printed on it.
Captain Dunlock, leader of the swords-men now has epaulettes to show his rank.
I have added 2 new spear-men and a spear-man captain. Captain Corden now leads the spear-men as they support the swords-men.
Finally, I have added another archer. I think an archer captain is likely to follow.
All in one nice photo rather than retake all the different units.
The only disappointing part of The Beatles Tour because the driver stopped here instead of lower down the road ( pic in comments taken 5 yr ago). This is because that during the TV programme James Corden's Carpool Karaoke , he and Paul McCartney stopped here and Mc Cartney wrote his signature on this. To protect it it's been covered in Perspex .

Original 1960s photo was taken by Paul's brother - Mike McCartney
I wasn't sure whether to put this one up - It was suggested to me by Peter Hodgson a friend of the page and it's a cracking idea by him and a great spot - During the Carpool Karaoke with James Corden they looked out of the front bedroom window and Peter had a photo taken from that very same window by Mike McCartney of Paul either arriving or departing in a huge limousine, and being mobbed by fans!
As I say, it was a great spot by Peter and a smashing idea - I just found it very hard to do it justice mainly because I really struggled to get a high enough quality image from photographing the telly or the PC screen for me to be happy with! I hope I would have got a better shot in person - I just can't seem to get anything good from a screen!
Anyway, I've chucked it up now and will hopefully do some better ones soon after a couple of days out of town.
Thank you anyway Peter, great idea matey!

Farah is noted for his unique victory celebration dance known as the "Mobot". He adopted the move following a television appearance in May 2012 opposite sports presenter Clare Balding on the panel game show A League of Their Own. The host James Corden suggested to the panelists that they should think of a new dance to mark Farah's winning celebration, and Balding subsequently came up with the "M" gesture called "Mobot". While demonstrating it for the first time, she indicated that the part of the move intended to represent the "M" in "Mo" was inspired by the dance to "Y.M.C.A.", a popular song by the Village People. Corden himself then named it as the "Mobot". A robot was named "Mobot" at a university research exhibition, in honour of Farah's celebration. Farah has since used the pose as part of a charity to raise funds for his foundation.
Farah's race was a fitting way to finish the afternoon at the Games - a brilliant ending!
I'm afraid I am going to have to dump and run today. I shall be away now for an extended period of time but may dip in and out for a bit as we are heading away to stay with family.

Consiste, por parte de una persona, en esconder objetos en el campo o en la ciudad y posteriormente apuntar las coordenadas geográficas de ese punto mediante un receptor GPS y hacerlas públicas (por lo general en sitios web especializados) para que otras personas puedan efectuar su búsqueda. En estos lugares donde se publican las coordenadas, la gente puede entrar a consultar tesoros escondidos cerca de su casa o por alguna zona donde vaya a hacer un viaje. La etiqueta marca que quien encuentra uno de estos tesoros, puede llevarse un objeto de este pero a cambio tiene que dejar otro de igual o mayor valor para el siguiente visitante.
Los regalos generalmente consisten en objetos de poco valor, metidos en bolsas impermeables o fiambreras, y un cuaderno donde apuntar tu nombre para que quede registrado (logbook). .

welcome to www.jacquelinewalters.com
p.s. this is the original poster, that we had to steal :)
A scene like so many from this era that is barely recognisable today. Then a reasonably quiet suburban junction on the borough boundary, Derby trolleybus 234 makes the turning-circle on the B5020 Uttoxeter Road at its junction with Corden Avenue.
The 55 route served the district of Littleover and the Eastern edges of Mickleover via two separate roads, Uttoxter Road and Burton Road - via the town centre. Both roads run in a sort of parallel fashion from the West side of Derby. Had the trolleybuses run down Cordern Ave and Chain Lane, which linked Uttoxeter Road to Burton Road, I am guessing that a circular service could have been created.
Returning to the image, the houses in the picture still stand but are joined by a new housing development. The junction seen here is considerably widened and traffic light controlled, it is of course is much busier. Nothing remains to tell of the former trolleybus terminal point, but a little of the land on which the turn circle stood is undeveloped at the junction of Rough Heanor Road.

The Postcard
A postally unused Colourmaster International Series postcard that was published by Photo Precision Limited of St. Ives, Huntingdon. The card, which was printed in Great Britain, has a divided back.
For some reason the publishers have blocked out the clock in the top right-hand corner.
Although the card was not posted, someone has written a recipient's name and address on the divided back of the card:
Mr. & Mrs. Norman,
2, Bere Road,
Wareham,
Dorset.
There was also a message on the divided back:
"Dear Mr. & Mrs. Norman,
Thank you very much for
your good wishes card.
We have been staying up
here with Jean & family,
and both of us have
benefitted from the rest.
I have to go to Dorchester
Friday 12th. August for a
check-up, so am hoping
for the best.
Best wishes from us both,
Phyl & Frank Carter".
The reference to Friday the 12th. August, coupled with the unfranked 9 pence stamp on the back of the card mean that the card was written in 1977.
High Wycombe
High Wycombe, often referred to simply as Wycombe, is a large market town in Buckinghamshire. Lying in the valley of the River Wye surrounded by the Chiltern Hills, it is 29 miles (47 km) west north-west of Charing Cross in London; this information is also engraved on the Corn Market building in the centre of the town.
In 2016, High Wycombe had a population of 125,260, and is the second largest town in the county of Buckinghamshire after Milton Keynes.
Wycombe is a combination of industrial and market town, with a traditional emphasis on furniture production. There has been a market held in the High Street since at least the Middle Ages. The market is held on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
History of High Wycombe
Wycombe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was noted for having six mills. The town once featured a Roman villa (built 150–170 AD) which has been excavated three times, most recently in 1954. Mosaics and a bathhouse were unearthed at the site on what is now the Rye parkland. High Wycombe was the home of 19th.-century Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
High Wycombe remained a mill town through Medieval and Tudor times, manufacturing lace and linen cloth. It was also a stopping point on the way from Oxford to London, with many travellers staying in the town's taverns and inns.
The paper industry was notable in 17th. and 18th. century High Wycombe. The Wye's waters were rich in chalk, and therefore ideal for bleaching pulp. However the paper industry was overtaken by the cloth industry.
Wycombe's most famous industry, furniture (particularly Windsor chairs), took hold in the 19th. century, with furniture factories setting up all over the town. Many terraced workers' houses were built to accommodate those working in the furniture factories.
In 1875, there were 4,700 chairs being made per day in High Wycombe. When Queen Victoria visited the town in 1877, the council organised an arch of chairs to be erected over the High Street, with the words 'Long Live the Queen' printed boldly across the arch for the Queen to pass under.
Wycombe Museum includes many examples of locally made chairs along with information on the local furniture and lace industries.
The town's population grew from 13,000 residents in 1881 to 29,000 in 1928. Wycombe was completely dominated socially and economically by the furniture industry and, consequently, there was considerable unemployment and social problems when the industry declined in the 1960's.
High Wycombe in the 20th. Century
By the 1920's, many of the housing areas of Wycombe had decayed into slums. A slum clearance scheme was initiated by the council in 1932, whereby many areas were completely demolished and the residents re-housed in new estates that sprawled above the town on the valley slopes.
Some of the districts demolished were truly decrepit, such as Newland, where most of the houses were condemned as unfit for human habitation, with sewage pouring down the street and people sharing one room in cramped quarters of subdivided flats. However, some areas such as St. Mary's Street contained beautiful old buildings with fine examples of 18th. and 19th. century architecture.
From 1940 to 1968 High Wycombe was the seat of RAF Bomber Command. Moreover, during the Second World War, from 1942 to 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force's 8th. Air Force Bomber Command, code-named 'Pinetree', was based at a former girls' school at High Wycombe.
In the 1960's the town centre was redeveloped. This involved culverting the River Wye under concrete and demolishing most of the old buildings in Wycombe's town centre. Two shopping centres were built along with many new multi-storey car parks, office blocks, flyovers and roundabouts. On the open area known as Frogmoor (or Frogmore) the original cast-iron fountain and some Georgian buildings were also torn down. (...Sounds as if they ruined the town centre).
Although situated in the county of Buckinghamshire, which is one of the more affluent parts of the country, Wycombe contains some considerably deprived areas. In 2007, a GMB Union survey ranked the Wycombe district as the 4th. dirtiest in the South East, and the 26th. dirtiest in the whole of the UK. The survey found litter on 28.5% of streets and highways.
High Wycombe Politics
Wycombe's political history extends back to 1295.
The Wycombe Constituency has continuously elected Conservative Members of Parliament since 1951.
High Wycombe has been home to two Prime Ministers:
- The Earl of Shelburne lived at what is now Wycombe Abbey.
- Benjamin Disraeli, who lived at nearby Hughenden Manor, was defeated as an independent candidate in 1832, but won the election in 1868 and 1874-1880 as a Conservative. Disraeli made his first political speech in Wycombe, from the portico over the door of the Red Lion Hotel on the High Street (now Iceland/Bargain buys).
Although the hotel has gone, the portico with the red lion on top has survived - you can just about see it on the right, beyond the yellow car.
Weighing the Mayor
A ceremony carried out in the town since 1678 involves the weighing of the mayor. At the beginning and end of each year of service, the mayor is weighed in full view of the public to see whether or not he or she has gained weight, presumably at the taxpayers' expense.
The custom, which has survived to the present day, employs the same weighing apparatus used since the 19th. century. When the result is known, the town crier announces "And No More!" if the mayor has not gained weight, or "And Some More!" if they have. Their actual weight is not declared.
Media Coverage of High Wycombe
High Wycombe has been featured in the national media in recent years for a number of different reasons, including:
- Coverage of the local library's refusal to display a Christmas carol service poster.
- The triple shooting of three young Asian men.
- A small-scale riot between feuding families and gangs in which knives, metal poles, and an axe were used whilst a gunman sprayed bullets.
- The shooting and murder of Natasha Derby at point-blank range in the middle of a busy dance floor at a town centre venue.
- The town appeared in national and international media after anti-terrorism raids were carried out as part of the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot. Five arrests were made at three different houses in the town's Totteridge and Micklefield areas. A number of houses in High Wycombe were evacuated in Walton Drive, which is thought to be because one of the raided houses contained dangerous liquid chemicals.
- On the 21st. December 2009, heavy snowfall hit the town, paralysing its road network (which is mainly on steep hills), and causing major disruption to refuse services for several weeks. Staff and customers of the John Lewis department store were stranded overnight.

"Come on England we need to sort it out,
Put the champs down,
Pull your finger out,
Leave the wags alone,
Set aside your ego,
We're tired of bragging about 40 odd years ago,
We need a victory, quick, fast,
Tired of getting a kick - oi!,
World cup 2010,
Don't wanna see ya slip past,
Think about the future,
Surely it's the right time,
I wanna see you win it in my lifetime,
1966 Bobby Moore and that Geogg Hurst put it to the turf - we applauded that,
There was no ignoring that,
Nobody could stop him,
I gotta myself an England shirt I'm gonna rock it,
Cos there's so much to play for,
But we've got to come together [Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh],
You know we've got to come together now [Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh],
1... 2... 3... Everybody sing
JAMES AND ENGLAND: Shout, Shout, let it all out"
Dizzee Rascal & James Corden - Shout For England
Looks like we're all going to be still banging on about 40 odd years ago!
