Anyone come from Grimesthorpe? (Part 2)

[mrsJDS 10]

I called in Grimey last week, nice couple of pints in the Arms and Ball, walking down Birdwell and looking at the cellar grates thinking however did we manage to get down there when we were locked out!

 

Eyup Mick didn't see you but I guess you came up for the funeral, will you give Nigel my condolences I hope he's managing ok with the little one, it's very sad, I was at Grenoside about an hour after you at Terry Macs funeral, let us know when your up next time and we can try and all get together.

Yes thanks for that I should be back up in a couple of months.Sad do the funeral so young,a lot of youngsters there,can`t do with women or girls crying don`t mind seeing a man cry but not females. My two girls could twist me round there fingers once the waterworks started.

Hi DOMMI - "how green you are, how green you are".

 

Hello Olga. Are you going to give a reminder of the date of George's memorial service in case anyone wants to come?

[DOMMI 10]

Think i could cope for a couple of weeks Trev,and seeing this lot twice a year at reunions is enough for anybody.

 

Who do you mean Sheila?

No sex photos this week, after last weeks pics, some of our lady readers had to go for a lie down.

Last Thursday, 7th March in lovely sunshine, I ventured onto Broomhead Moor between Bradfield and the Derwent valley. There, I went in search of an oyle, not just any owd oyle but a really intrestin' oyle, deep int' ground and full o' watter.

While driving towards this oyle, I stopped at The Surprise and took a photo overlooking Hope Valley, Hathersage and River Derwent.

In the 1950s and 60s the main fighter aircraft of The Royal Air Force were Hawker Hunters. When retired from The RAF, many were sold to foreign air forces, some to museums and others were aquired by private individuals. One such Hawker Hunter, similar to this, http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1089&bih=599&q=hawker+hunter&gbv=2&aq=2&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=hawker

was owned by Mr. Wallace Cubitt, an experienced pilot with many flying hours to his credit.

On 11th June, 1993, Mr. Cubitt took off from RAF Coltishall near Norwich with the intention of flying to Preston and take part in an air display. Over The Pennines he flew into bad weather and low visibility, lost control and dived into Broomhead Moor.

Sadly, Mr. Cubitt died in the crash, this water filled hole in a peat bog his final resting place.

Hi Bill Havn't been on site for a while good to hear from you again I do remember those nights at Pam's can you remember her cousin Tony he lived down near the bus stop at botham street and petre street junction but was always up at Pams he was a right laugh Can you remember my auntie Olive (scary!) Vic,s mum. she pulled no punches but would do anything for anyone in trouble - a good neighbour but that was what Grimesthoepe was all about wasn't it. Did you recognise any of where we lived when you went back. I lived at Wincobank when I was first married and I've been back there and it doesn't look the same.

Chris.

[cat631 10]

Bugger the smoked salmon and caviar, what about the drippin sandwiches? Put me down for some please.

Don't forget the black pudding Ralph.... and I think John mentioned at the funeral that the ale was on him, although he'd had a few when he said it.
