Well I think it's pretty safe to now say that Oscar is on the mend and getting back to normal. I have to admit that it was pretty worrying for a time. When he first came to us we used to feed him wet food outside as he would not let us near him and entering the house was a definite no-no. He was sta...

Oscar came home Saturday afternoon. He was very slow moving around and ended up sleeping under our bed for the rest of the day and on top of it with us all night. Sunday he seemed a little livelier and better again today. He seems to be moving around easier and was playing with the laser light and a...

Poor Oscar is at the vet and will be there until Saturday :-( http://imageshack.us/a/img651/338/oscarxn.jpg He was fine on Christmas day, running around having fun with the wrapping paper and ribbons but yesterday he seemed very quiet. I was out in the garden before going to bed last night and watch...

Alvin learned how to open cupboard doors a while ago. This comes in handy for searching out those hidden Christmas prezzies



He's now progressed to doors............................

Just wondering Does anyone else have a cat that has a thing about carrots? Our cat Tommy goes crazy for them and will try to get any peelings or carrot tops out of the bin given half a chance. We have started cutting open the bags which the carrots come in once they are empty and Tommy has a great t...

Here's a picture of Wilson who sadly passed away a few of years ago from cancer http://imageshack.us/a/img638/7691/wilsone.jpg We had just moved to Oklahoma after spending years moving around California and living in multitudes of apartments. We bought a house with lots of open space around so we de...

I took this photo of little three legged Tinky 2 last year. I had just put the dried fruit for my Xmas cake to soak in brandy.....

LOL. Tinky was getting squiffy by osmosis, by the look of it.

Yes I have Wendyf, but not fully.
Thanks for the reminder.

My first school dinners memories are from All Saints in Bradford which I attended from 1957 to 1963. My older sister warned me in advance of the Cheese Pie, making it sound almost poisonous. Stories were told of pupils hiding it behind the radiators or stuffing it in their pockets. If fact doing any...

A cat thread, luverly :-) May I take this opportunity to introduce our 3 boys? All are someones reject. All are neutered toms and are indoor/outdoor as the mood takes them. (I'm just the doorman). We are lucky to live in an area where they are away from traffic and have plenty of fields around to hu...

These are great old pics. Thanks

Part of Rainhall Road in 1983. Remember the Pram Shop? The Pram Shop (number 27 methinks) used to be owned by the wife of one of the instructors at the tiny college I attended in Barlick. I think he was called Jack Firth. The college was actually part of the Barlick Modern School building but used ...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I think that Philip Stead was involved with some of the restoration work (as were quite a few people) so it may have been later that 1978. Earby Light Engineering started off in Earby at the Northside plant which was located near the old sewage works. Both my father ...

Hello All o/ A big hello from Oklahoma I lived in Earby during the early 1960's, went to Barlick Modern 1965 to 1969. Moved to Trawden in the 1980's and finally the USA in 1995. My daughter now lives in Barnoldswick. Worked at Earby Light Engineering (Dotcliffe Mill, Kelbrook) from 1969 to 1974 and ...
