WOYWW #676 - 13

 The 13th year!

I've been here since 2013 . . .  January 16th to be exact.

Amazing facts and figures!!

I have been all over the place since my last visit . . . . . . no change there then . . . . .

The Desk

Lots going on here . . . .

A card to send.  Not my favourite type but Steam Engines attract a lot of nostalgia . . . . . not much young blood in among it all.  Steam is a novelty, history and, like history, memories fade . 

ATCs in the making, NOT for the celebration . . . . . you can't see them or they wont be a surprise!  I hope to have a couple of spares so if you want to swap with me . . . . just let me know in the comments.

I've been fixing something so the bead box is still out . . .  I'll show you what it was later . . 

The screen

It's so true and sometimes I need to remind myself.

Just out of interest . . . . 

I have also been doing this  . . . . 

I have found a stash of VHS (remember those?!) tapes and think I have found a couple of when PJ and I were in Africa.  Anyhoose, I have had them put onto DVD . . . . . I hope to be watching them soon . . . 

Happy WOYWW everyone . . . . . and thank you Julia yet again.

  2. LOL! I always forget if sharing is the done thing or not, so I sometimes have a bit of a hint, or a distance shot on my desk but there you go - I am always surprised by the REAL THING when it arrives. How lovely, the VHS tapes - we have a few so thanks for the nudge. and Happy 13th year of WOYWW!

  5. How lovely to find the VHS tapes - l think I've got some Betamax tapes somewhere but I doubt anyone would still be able to put them onto a DVD.
    Happy 13th Anniversary and hope you have a good week,

  6. Happy WOYWW Anniversary. How special to have some VHS tapes of memories - enjoy them when they come back. Your talk of steam trains makes me smile - I adore steam trains and had a driving experience as my 40th birthday present. Take care. With Love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#11)

  9. You know with 3 brothers who were Firemen on the GWR, I LOVE the Steam trains. You're right about fading memories though, such a shame. Love your screen, a reminder how strong you have been too. I have about 8 VHS tapes in my craft room, must find a way of watching them.

I love the screen saver, gracious sometimes it feels like a medal is in order! I have an ATC for you, it will not go in the post till tomorrow though, sorry! Julia x
