It is amazing how much we take for granted without thinking about or even realising the effort taken to get it to us!
Hi Anne .. those days - but it was part of life back then ... though it is 'ghastly' to look at ..
It always amazes me how man finds things that are useful to his life .. and then carries on working with them and adapting them.
Fascinating ... which mine was it? Hilary
The choice was work in the mine or starve, no choice really.
And we complain about working conditions today.
