Indeed it takes all sorts and good luck to em all:-) <br />Just had Glauc and Iceland and Roy and I estimated there were 25,000+ birds on site this evening.

No, I'm not abou...Ouch, below the belt Peter...<br />No, I'm not about to give up on the place (although there are some who might think I already have). Beddington means so many different things to so many different people. It is defined by the era that you visited in, what you want to get out of visiting it and, particularly in your case, how much of yourself you have ploughed into it. There is room for honest reflection on a site even if that may not be positive. I do wish the old place well, it really does mean a lot to me even if most of my emotional currency was accumulated some years ago.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-83021678019347976592013-01-10T15:03:10.692+00:002013-01-10T15:03:10.692+00:00spare key? spare key?

The latter especially led to a lot of happy reminiscence, and maybe a little nostalgia. Then I read this post.
