shillelagh · 23-05-2009, 17:20

you said local .... that means in your locality .. where you can walk to ... so why do you need a car?

'erindoors · 23-05-2009, 17:34

I hope that's what he meant, that's what I did anyhow!! xx

I'm really enjoying seeing the photos in this competition. I'm presuming that the Church clock is the one on Lion Street, 'erindoors. I lived down there as a child and it seems vaguely familiar. So sad to see the Commercial like that though. I avert my eyes when my brother drives me past on my rare visits to Ossy.

The Rising Bridge! Friday night out and part of my misspent youth. So sad but thanks Jen x

A lovely scene from Margaret too. Keep them coming folks x

Don't know whether I love or hate you Derek. Spent 3 hours today walking around Clayton looking for buildings .. now feel like I have got bricks in me feet ! Having said that, went down little lanes never visited before, and had a lovely chat to the lady who owned the refurbished barn, and the man that has the stables which were attached to Clayton Hall .. they are gorgeous. Trouble is lovely photos of these on the web-site which would outdo mine anyday.

Even noticed our new member 15 year old Nikiig has opened her own website with photos and are much better than mine of the building in Mercer Park .. sob, sob.

Tried to find some a little different, like the shelter in the park. Got accosted by a gang of teenagers who asked me why I was taking photos of them ... told them "not to flatter themselves"

I'll get gobbed one of these days. LOL. Put a couple up, but will go out again.
