A video from long ago when the world was a simpler place and you could dance in the kitchen without the interminable news. There was a childish note to some of the songs, think about Hello lamp post come to watch your flowers growing...
You Can Call me Al..............................................
I suspect some lyrics came from the drugs taken at the time, my daughter brought me up to date about drugs in Hebden Bridge, home to well off hippies. She is one of the people that thinks drugs should be legalised, but keeps a sharp eye on my grand children, who move around in the party atmosphere of teenage children.
Matilda is the strong one, already made her presence felt for voting, she will be 18 years old on the 10th giving her time to vote for the 12th December should an election be called for. If I was a Tory I would be worried by the young vote and would not let them anywhere near a second referendum, it would be reversed!
Well one road has been opened out of the village, but the pack horse Newsham bridge is to be closed for a month, meaning driving to Malton and the train station will have to be taken round Pickering.

Such bridges are part of the magic of Yorkshire, but with the larger vehicles that are now on the road, they strain under the weight. Luckily we will keep these historic bridges because there is no money to replace them. I met a very large cattle truck coming over our bridge yesterday, and behind a large modern tractor, which tear up the tarmac surfaces of the back lanes. Big is definitely not beautiful in the countryside round here.
Thanks for reminding me of this great song! Hope the roadwork gets finished soon.
ReplyDeleteSame here Thelma and I guess most places in rural Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteI never felt the need to take drugs during that time to be adventurous or fit in. I do not regret it in anyway.
