Its Thanksgiving Day today and a time to say what I am thankful for in living and knowing the communities I have lived and worked in. In Leek it would be the pubs especially the Roebuck, the independent book shop, the charity shops, Pronto, All Saints Church, the Co-operative Emporium, the Sugden houses in Queen St, Foxlowe the Nicholson Institute and War Memorial, the characters and the open spaces and the Market Place. And further afield the walk around Rudyard Lake
For Stoke- on Trent my home town I would say the Mitchell Memorial, Winton Square and Railway Station, staff in the Archive section of the Hanley Library, Webberley bookshop, the greenery esp the reclamation areas such a Forest park, and the pubs of Burslem and the people generally
Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteActually, Thanksgiving Day was Monday, October 10 as in the fact there is also one in Canada. This is reference too, of course, American Thanksgiving.
I'm quite thankful to be living in the Staffordshire Moorlands and being so close to such beautiful countryside.
And another mention to you, Bill. Your postings are not showing up correctly on my blog site. You may want to adjust your date settings so your blog shows up in a chronological manner. I went searching for your latest posting.
