Good old England! Things to reflect on from times gone by.

Oh yeh Lyn, the free coal deivery. A ton of coal, I think twice a year, dropped on the road. Had to be wheel barrowed round to the back garden. Some of those lumps were 2 ft long by 1 ft thick. All the cooking done on a cast iron range. Hers was about 8 ft long with an oven on either side of the fire. I remember her getting out the blacking and brushing it up to a shine. She brought up 13 kids in a 2 bedroom house. Tin bath in front of the fire for when the boys came home from the mines. And grandad was called the boss. Yup, the good old days.
