I loved this snippet in the village Facebook yesterday
Sweet……
Just wanted to say a big thank you to the two lads who gave their home-made sled to my children tonight. My kids were using their coats to slide down the Gop 
Admittedly, my parenting skills can be questionable at times but the parents of the two lads we met tonight have nailed it 
Thank you for your kindness!
Admittedly, my parenting skills can be questionable at times but the parents of the two lads we met tonight have nailed it Thank you for your kindness!I’m going to a leaving do tonight , which is a rarity as work remains a 60 mile round trip .
I’m catching the train from Prestatyn to Llandudno around five and am walking to a small brewery where the do has been organised . I’m going early and will be leaving early as the trains home are limited but I want to go as I respect the nurse that has left
And for once with colleagues I can relax and have a drink
Ps I love this video, pure joy
Don't fall asleep on the train home and end up in some godforsaken place like Manchester!
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight! And what a feel-good little item about village life and generosity of spirit!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time, and I echo YPs comment, although Manchester isn't THAT bad. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a good relaxing time, with no weather problems x
ReplyDeleteHave tons of fun!

DeleteHa ha xx
DeleteWhat a kind gesture from those boys. They have obviously been brought up well. Good on them and their parents.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your night out. A shame you have to go so far for it, but Hey Ho! xx
The outing will do you good - and for once you have no responsibility in organising it! Will give you the same sort of warm feeling of humanity at it's best - just like the story of the boys and the sleds. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening out on the town! Sounds like good fun.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is great for sledding. I've seen kids use flattened cardboard boxes to sled down a hill. Any kind of durable plastic works too.
The high school kids here used the lunchroom trays to slide down the huge hill in their schoolyard. Gigi

Quit bragging. LOL
I loved this
DeleteHave a smashing time at the going away party tonight, hope no hangover for you tomorrow. You need to let down your hair every once in awhile. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI’m home
DeleteHave fun at your do. It's always encouraging to hear about well-behaved, generous kids!
ReplyDeleteYou asked on my blog where Dave and I are going next week -- to Bray, in Berkshire. We've been there a couple of times before. We like it and it's close!
I want lots of photos
DeleteGuaranteed! :)
DeleteHave a wonderful time at the leaving do!
ReplyDeleteWe all did, lovely place , nice load of people
Deletethe video - you obviously know nothing about horses.
ReplyDeleteNot wearing riding hats with a loose horse there too. So dangerous and no concern for the children or the horses
You could suck the sourness from a lemon lol
DeleteLove that comeback John! xx
DeleteThose things making it more exciting , thrilling and death defying. The thrill in the hands up free flying feeling. Living life to the fullest.
DeleteAnd you don't know as much as you think you do, Anonymous. I am a horse rider, and all the riders are in supreme control and communication with their horses. To an exceptional degree. To ride that well, and without saddles or bridles, is an example of supreme horsemanship. And nothing at all compares to the thrill and the connection with your horses and with nature to be able to ride across a beach like that with such joy, control and freedom. More of it. It is called BEING ALIVE! But you clearly don't know much about that either.
DeleteAnon is on auto challenge ,, ie not really thinking about what she is writing , like a child she argues any point and makes herself look foolish
DeleteHE John, not SHE. Male and happy to be so.
DeleteHave a lovely time this evening but do get on the right train at the right time to get home! The departing nurse will be glad for your presence at the send-off.
ReplyDeleteLove the unfettered abandon of the running horses.
Hugs!
I did and I did …..
DeleteI hope you’re already having great time.
ReplyDeleteHome now, after too many beers, had a lovely time
