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 !

A Facebook group is being proposed for Bedlington History Society .
i hope lots of people on the Forum would be interested to join .
It seems the only way to advertise the group and what is going on each year .

Great research Canny Lass.
Local knowledge seems to indicate there were three Miss Smails . Grandmother , mother and granddaughter at the shop near Hollymount .
The Smail’s shop in Morpeth sold similar products to farmers and locals. I feel they must be related .
Working on gardens and on large estates may have led the family of the Smails to opportunities to sell supplies to an emerging market .Moving off the land to an industrial society may have been a factor. More products available plus the rise of allotments. So many people kept live stock .( Pigs Hens ).
We could learn something from the past here . No transporting of products huge distances.
Hardware shops in Scotland are still a viable business model . In England big business has taken over with a need for a car to get you to say B and Q .- 1

Maybe the lady ,we knew as Miss Smail , was the daughter.
I think the original piece of music she played was Wagner The Ride of the Valkyrie .

That is the puzzle Canny Lass .
Is the line above referring to this lady.

That does not read too well .
I blame the friend who recommended the Brockwell Seam and their red wine
Oyster Bay it seems .

Ghosts or no ghost?
in Chat Central
Posted
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
