    To day I had a lovely stroll around the Dickens Festival in Rochester and met some old friends and made some new friends,I just love people,their politeness .their good manners and their sense of humour ,it was one of those days that made yours truly feel good to be alive,had some sad news of friends that had past on(great characters they were) but hey but only what you expect when you reach a good age :old: ,all I can do is to remember them with fondness and enjoy every day for them,anyway that's enough of that for now,still got a spring in my step;)
    There are quite a few photos on this thread so I hope you don't get bored:heehee:

        I suppose the roundabout has been converted to electricity nowadays. We saw a steam driven just the other day. :)
