Good morning all,we were told on sothern weather news last night that it is monsoon season in Europe,and they were right,very right.But it has it's good points,everything seems to be more fresh a green than usual.Our Labrador loves it and wants to stay out in it all day soaking wet through and rolling in the grass,it's a great joy to watch.About the old buildings,I have mixed feelings about trying to keep them, because they were left to rot by people who had no use for them anymore.I have worked all over the country on restoration work trying save them,but once they have been done,they are used for a short while as with Wigan Pier,and left to decay again.Like you Maureen I could go on but to no avail,so sad, H.
