Forshaw Heath & Earlswood BoD in Warwickshire

I have spent some time this weekend trying to research a bit about Blogging Etiquette and have decided it is a mine field out there with so much conflicting information that ultimatley I am going to have to do what works for me. Just simple questions like do I post once a day once a week do I post on one particular subject or several, provided to many conflicing answers I gave up in the end. I am sure it was just easier to post as and when and on what ever I wanted. As for questions on writing styles! Well I am not a writer where as some of the blogs I read obviously have people behind them are skilled and able to express themselves very clearly. I tend to write as I think and let the fingers do the typing. Then again I suppose that is how I am as a person, say things as I think them . When I broke it all down I decided a blog should reflect the person behind it, their personality, likes, dislikes, style and thoughts. Otherwise there is a danger of the blog becoming clinic...

I really hadn't got myself motivated for the Royal Wedding but had long since decided I was interested in what the dress looked like. I wasn't going to hog the TV and if I wanted to watch it I would take the Laptop to the shed and sit quietly watching on line. Anyway to cut a long story short the OH had the Laptop I had the TV. I Thought Catherine Middleton looked stunning I thought the wedding ceremony was like any body else’s but with a bigger audience and a bigger church! I thought Prince William and Princess Catherine or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or Kate and Wills did a great job today of owning their own wedding yet paying respect to tradition in their own way not totally ruled by tradition. As one who was not going to watch or not motivated , I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am very proud Congratulations to all happy Couples today and a HUGE thank you to all those HM Forces and Police Forces that helped make today safe. As a UK resident I am equally as pr...

http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/earlswoodlakes.htm The above site has a load of old pictures and history about Earlswood Lakes Station interesting!                                                                             Earlswood Lakes station was situated at the highest point of the line between Birmingham and Stratford Upon Avon. The long bank from the south required heavily loaded trains to be piloted from Stratford Upon Avon. Watering facilities were provided for trains that might have otherwise have been hard pressed to continue on to Snow Hill. The station was opened with the line in 1908 and was deemed significant enough to be provided with brick platform structures and a goods yard which remained open until 6th July 1964. Access to the station was via a path to the up platform ...

I am obviously over the moon that my little blog has started getting busy.  Well busy for my little corner of the world.  Today I decided to have a think about what caused a busy blog and as a blogger how it has affected my blogging. All it took was a Twitter account! why I took the plunge to open such an account I don't know! you can all see what my previous thoughts on Twitter were in previous posts and they were not all endearing thoughts.  Its taken a bit of work to get used to and it has been a learning curve for me.  Not only has it been a learning curve I have actually found out quite a lot of things that have proved quite useful. Primarily I use Twitter to keep up to date with what is happening in the local area and just occasional to link to my blog.  It was this action that sort of led me away from my everyday personal posts and started me wandering around the web to see what the rest of the Local Community were up to these d...

On holiday listening to what's going on around me. Wouldn't it be good to know what the Police Car + Siren found so urgent in Forshaw Heath.  Funnily enough that's twice in one week.  I Guess we will never know and never be able to help. Nah forget it. It was probably West Midlands using us a a cut through from the M42 back into Solihull then again it could have been West Mercia doing the same but back in to Worcestershire  Then perhaps it was Warwickshire. Who knows?
