Well Done Guys For the Picture!
It's a steep learning curve isn't it all this internet and blog stuff isn't it.
So tell me what have you got planned for the French that are coming over at the end of next month. I'm just being very curious....and I thought that other people that come and have a look on the blog might like to know what sort of things you get up to during your "visits".
Hope all the planning is going well

Hi Juliet
I don't know all that is planned because I'm not on the Committee any more, but I do know we have a visit to Ironbridge and Blists Hill.
That is where the Industrial Revolution began - it's the heart of the Midlands because of the industry that followed.
The Iron Bridge itself is the first of it's kind in the world and, set in a wooded valley is very picturesque - unlike the old drawings of the valley in the early days when it was like hell, with the sky lit up by all the furnaces at night.
But then, you've probably been there yourself.
Did you know that Queen Victoria always had the blinds of the Royal Train closed when she passed through the Black Country so that she would not have to look at the ugly industrial landscape and the poverty?
