How great that you can walk to work and the shops ... you are so lucky. The area looks so peaceful and sane. So you've never had an auto in your family? The Christmas decorations are lovely .. and I sure wish we still had Woolworth's here. I can't believe they're still around somewhere. Used to like their counter for lunch and all the packed aisles of stuff .. including the chirping of the parakeets for sale, the smell of moth balls. Brings back memories of many years ago here in the States when there were Woolworth's all over the place.

Woolworth's in the UK has changed dramatically over the years we do not have food in ours but the company currently is doing very well with it music/DVD/CD sales and has bought some other music companies. It still means sweets to me though LOL. Actually it is probably the best place for household items (tin openers, washing up bowls etc).

Regarding cars, yes our family has always had one in fact at one time mum and dad had one each. I did start to learn to drive but I do not get on well so after spending about 500.00 dollars and really getting nowhere decided it was not for me. Dad still has a car but at present does not feel like driving hopefully we will again in the spring.

Our house and car I think it was January this year
