I came across this post from Abbie's Corner all about rodeo's and carnivals. We used to have parades where I lived. Floats - decorated lorries carrying Rose Queens, or bands or charities.

She went in to find boys gathered and encircling two who… Continue reading The Day I Found a Dead Body

Mr Blobby!
This picture was taken in 1993 when I was at Granada Studio tours in Manchester. I was wearing my favourite white padded jacket. It was co-ordinated with my then fashionable track suit. Everyone has an item of clothing they love and this jacket was mine. The following year I went on a day trip to… Continue reading Mr Blobby!
The Day I Met My Mother
by Karen J Mossman This story has hung around in my head for twenty odd years. Now and again it pops up and it still makes me chuckle. The question I always asked myself was how did I not know my own mother! It isn't a big story, it will take but a few… Continue reading The Day I Met My Mother
