I didn't see anything like this so i'll ask. What city do you live in/near? I live about 20 minutes from Fort Worth, Texas where our claim to fame is "Where the West Begins". I moved from Chicago because it was just too cold three months out of the year. :D

Ah Jasper... Sounds as though you might live in Wiltshire ~ or thereabouts... I lived there back in the 1940's up until 1955... Small village called Dilton Marsh...
Now live in Bournville, Birmingham where the Cadbury chocolate is made... That's a short distance of about 4643 miles East of Fort Worth ~ or so I'm told...

Until 2 months ago, I lived in Columbia SC. Now I live in Raleigh NC.
Does that make me more of a Northerner?

I live in a small village not far from Chepstow, on the South Wales side of the 'border'...Croeso i Gymru (or Welcome to Wales...for the uninitiated ;))
Closest Cities are: Newport, in Wales, or Bristol, across the border.

Really? We have a Welsh grandson - in that he was born in Wales at Ffaldybrenin (Llanwrda). One of our daughters has a small organic farm there which she runs with her husband.
I know Chepstow because of the castle - but there again I know most places because of their castles 🙂 One Boxing Day we walked from England to Wales and back aagain - from St Briavel's Castle.

Well, it is a small world. ;)
England to Wales and back again - from St Briavel's Castle, eh...quite a walk. If you are looking for exercise and a great scenic experience I would recommend either Offa's **bleep**, from Chepstow area heading north, or a personal favorite; Chepstow to Monmouth walking along the banks of the Wye...so, so scenic and beautiful.

Hey Baldrick...
Was that village near Chepstow a place called St Arvans (or something like that) because I was evacuated to that village (from London) soon after the war started, when I was aged about 5 years... Stayed with a family named Jones, who looked after me well...
Been back a couple of times as an adult, but the elders have long since gone the happy hunting grounds... One of the children, actually wrote about my being there on the internet... My grandson found it when he was doing some research into war activities...
Thought it might be worth a mention here... Hope that's ok...

Hi Robinski
Glad you did...just shows what a small world we live in. Here we are on the Interweb and apart from WSA we have something else in common. :D
St Arvans (your memory is excellent) is just north of Chepstow...about 3 or 4 miles. I live in Portskewett...about 4 miles to the west of Chepstow...but have friends & acquaintences who live there...nice little village. :D
Cofion caredig (Regards)

That's interesting Baldrick... So near and yet: due to the years ~ so far...
My claim to fame where village life was concerned (if one can call it such) was that me and a buddy, crawled under the doors of the blacksmiths work shop (after it had closed) and had fun with some of the tools etc, even trying to rekindle the fire with some of the hot coals and bits of wood... But we'd been spotted getting in by a neighbour and it wasn't long before we were brought to some form of rough justice...
But hey... It made life more interesting...

Hi Robinski
Indeed, I think that the blacksmith's workshop is still standing...I will have to make a detour and check it out next time I am up that way. ;)
Ahh, those were the days...and now we play with apps & the like rather than propoer old fashioned tools...I suppose that is progress?
Hopefully the justice was not too rough...well, obviously not as you are still here...:D
Regards

If my memory serves me well (it's 70 plus years since we wriggled under the workshop's front doors) that building was on the right hand side of the road, on the way up the high street... A little further on, there was a turning to the left (leading to the school) with the house where I stayed, being on the right hand side, more of less at that junction... There was a garage on the right hand side of the house...
Ahhhh... Those were the days... Written a story ot two about those times...

Sadly I can't walk more than about 100 yards these days because of pain.
Old age would be wonderful if it weren't for the pain ...
