MM Links July 2010 (week 5)

[rockfordill]

And so we come full circle . As King John (aka Rockfordill) I now find myself retired in a small cottage in a quintessentially English village near Dorking high up on the Greensand ridge that runs across Mid-Surrey and is designated as an AONB. We have avbailable many local distractions - such as the second highest cricket ground in Surrey, an annual flower show and fete, as well as lecture groups, bridge groups, music groups and any other group you care to think of!

The children are all long flown the nest and scattered far and wide . One is married and living in the USA, another one mattied and in Australia , a third married and living in Greece and just one left in the UK. I cannot criticise their various exoduses overseas, I did exactly the same thing myself when I was a callow youth of twenty and satyed away for 25 years! The grass always seems greener elsewhere - especially when one is young! The analogy however is a poor one when comparing Surrey with some semi-arid regions abroad. Anyway, our combined families have produced five grandchildren so far, but it costs an arm and a leg to visit them!

Rockfordill, may I ask you to give a hint where you live (the cricket ground didn't help)? I spent all my young life in and around Dorking, we lived in Westhumble for many years.

I think the highest cricket pitch in Surrey is at Coldharbour, just under Leath Hill

Often walk through Westhumble but disgusted at the developer who got away with tearing down
that lovely old college of music!

Good luck with the MM

Attn Ont-ice

I guessed that you were from Ontario last week did I not? Always used
to drive through London, Ontario on my regular trip from Chicago to Boston.
The speed limit was higher and the roads quieter than that dreadful mess around Cleveland! and you could get Cadbury's chocolate!

Hope you are having a good summer out there and good luck with your MM links
