A 'Site' for sore eyes

Finally found and uploaded the photo out of this window.



As I said, all the people on the lawn have been removed and the old Merseybus building is gone.

In addition, another picture from Malvern.



This is from one of the paths which go up the British Camp. Our house from the previous photo was just at the bottom of the hills and just out of shot to the right. The trees just by the house at the side of the reservoir are mostly Chestnut though it has been years since we picked any to eat. If you follow the path alongside the house towards the dam on the right, you will go through some quite dense woodland with a very rocky path and end up at the top of Castlemorton Common which is unfortunately for ever associated with the rave from the early 90s. Not the right place for a rave at all. You would never know it had ever happened and I hope that it is not a challenge for anyone to hold another one. Just along from here, there is a very steep-sided hill which is used for hang-gliding, though contrary to what we always thought, that hill is not called Hangman's Hill. The next hill along is called Raggedstone Hill and as kids we always used to believe in what I thought was a myth about the Shadow of Raggedstone Hill, about a monk who was condemned to climb the hill on his knees, twice a day for years. He died near the peak and cursed the hill. We always believed that the curse applied to all in the shadow of the hill and were convinced that there were no houses in the shadow at sunset. There is no mention of this as regards the myth but if by any small chance you can confirm or deny this then please email me at rdeweyden@hotmail.com.

That mention of the email address reminds me of the way John Peel inserts the email address for Home Truths but of course John Peel can get away with it just by being John Peel. The most relaxing programme on the Radio and of course now we can get Radio 4 via the digital television box. All those who do not listen to Radio 4 think it is slightly boring and establishment but I think it has a very dangerous almost seditionary feeling. A real revolution in this country won't start with the crusties or the anarchists but in the audience of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue when Samantha is off sick or they can't get the Ostrich down from the rafters.

Question: How did Private Walker avoid the draft?
