The only place we have round here to escape to is our allotment!<br /><br />Interesting how you describe being with your uncle and watching how he worked. I'm not so sure kids have the same opportunities to do this these days, as there are far too many other things to take their fancy.<br /><br />I just love doing anything with wood - I'm building a shed at the moment, and still have to make the door...<br /><br />Agree about the music too, from about the same time I think!Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-73945977701876231862014-10-09T19:13:01.673+01:002014-10-09T19:13:01.673+01:00When you think how tactile a staircase is, Mr H, i...When you think how tactile a staircase is, Mr H, it becomes an entity in itself!<br /><br />When I go upstairs here, I touch - nay grasp - the hand rail (fiercely under certain circumstances), several times a day, and then comes the newel posts at the top, to steer me in whatever direction I need to go.<br /><br />The handrail and newels here, are from a previous house on the site, which was bombed in WW2, so the oakwork has even more to tell me!<br /><br />I can't think of a more utilised piece of a house, than a staircase, except for perhaps the front or back doors!Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-40660398827732894922014-10-09T10:03:52.951+01:002014-10-09T10:03:52.951+01:00I'd never have had the courage to knock but it...I'd never have had the courage to knock but it was obviously worth it for both you and the chap who lived there.<br /><br />Strange how much a fine staircase adds to a house - stamps it as something much more than a box to live in.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-59978532113548620312014-10-09T05:46:35.945+01:002014-10-09T05:46:35.945+01:00It's funny isn't it Thud, that you can sud...It's funny isn't it Thud, that you can suddenly associate yourself with something as inanimate as a staircase, and immediately there is a story to tell!<br /><br />I've got another one in a similar vein, which will probably come next!<br /><br />Sorry to say that I thought I'd posted on your site yesterday, but now realise that I only clicked once instead of twice!Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-38749287498752743662014-10-09T05:43:54.900+01:002014-10-09T05:43:54.900+01:00Thank you, Trubes, and yes I did get there eventua...Thank you, Trubes, and yes I did get there eventually, after stopping off so many times and peering over walls etc..;0)Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-29994769491537691402014-10-08T21:18:24.345+01:002014-10-08T21:18:24.345+01:00Kind of put a lump in my throat too!Kind of put a lump in my throat too!Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-26330047042069940622014-10-08T20:01:08.441+01:002014-10-08T20:01:08.441+01:00Lovely story Michael I do hope you got to the fune...Lovely story Michael I do hope you got to the funeral.<br /><br />love Di.<br />Trubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297883125832619352noreply@blogger.com
