Well done Malcolm and Bedlington .

We have to hope that history teaches us not to repeat the mistakes of the past . Harry Patch the last ‘Tommy’ said War is licensed murder’ The programmes / books about the Holocaust are grim to say the very least . I do not understand how people can be so evil . Dangerous times for us all .

The Local History Society organise events and talks on a wide variety of topics . The members themselves have a wide and detailed amount of local knowledge but the society do not store any archives that can be viewed on line .

Never heard any ghost stories about Westlea or Hartlands. However if there are ghosts they must be good and keep everyone safe . West Bedlingto is a great place to live . Happy New Year 2022 to all including any ghosts

Why does a brass band make me nostalgic .The film Brassed Off has an even worse / better effect . Nostalgia plus tears. Maybe a longing for full employment and childhood . We were warned we would not get jobs ( baby boom) but we did! We did not crave for the impossible . We supported each other , if possible. . Every Christmas and New Year were special with tales of only Apples and Oranges and working for the family at a young age .Maybe our children and grandchildren will feel the same about everything but in a different way, Strange times we live in right now . The Fear clause has been activated .Please don’t let it all spoil this time of year . Whatever we do ! -
