8) Plaque over a house in Chequers Must be where Thurston Smith lived......an engineer.
Thurston worked at the brick yard on Enfield Rd, he was a Model Engineer, his projects can be seen in Ossy Mills, they are in glass display cases, he also made a brick clay model of part of Clayton. Thurston also made a working model of a brick making machine, where that is now I don't know.

is Gizmo the really old looking dog that goes for a walk with a dude and a little girl around 8.20 every morning ??

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yeah. I believe the owner works in another department somewhere in the building, I guess zeus started off following and started hanging around the benches relaxing on those sunny days......

.....The term "fat cat" must come from somewhere:p:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes he is.
And when I first read that...I thought you meant that the dude was old looking :D.......the dude is my other half......the little girl is my daughters girl.
(no, I don't call her that G daughter thing because I have never been that G thing....I hat being called that G thing...and anyone who calls me that does it at their peril)

Ha thought so. I sees em almost every morning :-)

Re: Today in pictures
 

That looks more like a bum transplant

Re: Today in pictures
 

but youd have comfort wouldnt you wi all the padding :p:p:p

Re: Today in pictures
 

The mosaic is lovely Kate...very colourful. The grass hasn't quite grown over the bare bits of ground yet, but it is a lovely area.
If you want some padding for you BTM....I can let you have some of mine.
Though I'm not entirely sure how I would get it to you.
Second thoughts...do as Jen says Take a cushion- and an umbrella :D

Re: Today in pictures

Here's some pictures of this new garden area taken just now. Still looks pretty in the rain, and the rain doesn't half make the grass look an amazing colour of green :
