so it does. I’ve got the Pac-Man noise in my head now

Ooh this is super

You’re on Steve I’m bloody useless on here & any other platform for that matter

Ha ha ha you’ve got a long walk Steve. Set off now & I’ll see you in a few days Leeds/Liverpool Canal

Oh so it does !!! That’s quite cute ! Like it’s glad to be alive i don’t know how to reply with the photos & am using comment to reply

Oh flippin heck that’s amazing !! You made me laugh when you said to your wife “bloody hell, the whole family is out” lol Cheers for sharing

Ha ha I’ve run out of likes, not that I like wasps, but I like your response. Cheers

Oh damn, must have dropped out of my bag .... only joking lol

Here is a photo I took at the beginning of May of a Mallard with 11 babies. Sadly, she has only got 9 now but they’re growing fast so it looks like the 9 may survive. Last week a family of swans decided to show their beaks along the canal. The tree photo. No explanation, I just find it fascinating. Photos took on my iPhone

Goodness that’s brilliant! You have a great zoom lens!! I love foxes

MND is an evil b@sxxxd!! To take such a lovely lady with a heart of gold and a passion for life is truly heartbreaking. Rest In Peace Beautiful Susan Triska & Soul Source’s Skippy Sue. You will be missed by absolutely everyone who knew you Sending love and strength to her family & close friends at this painful time. Alison x

Oh my goodness Dave, I'm so sorry for the loss of Pete. I remember you both from the olden days and my heart is hurting for you as I know what a perfect fit you both were. Would never see one without the other and both of you genuine good guys. What a lovely tribute you have written. Sending love and strength to you at this heartbreaking time. Rest In Peace Dear Peter Alison x

I've run out of likes for today but I really like that and it's a lovely story Steve

Oh they're beautiful photos!!! (can't remember how to do a thumbs up on here)

Ey up dark and dodgy Steve. All is great here thanks, trust you & Lou are well too. Hope it's not too long before I see you both again Ali x

Yeah we have a few tray feeders too and they (we have a chubby and a thinner robin visit us) go on there, but this little sucker is quite ambitious as he does keep trying to get on the hanging feeders. He has managed to get on one of them, cling on & snatch some feed. Cheers for the heads up re: your feed Your Robins sounds delightful especially the cheeky one

Hi Ste All is good here thanks. I'm currently working from home which I didn't think I would like (because you know what a chatterbox I am) but I'm actually loving it and it's obviously keeping me and my 82 yr old Dad safe so I'm happy doing it for as long as it takes. Hope everyone at your end is doing well and not killing each other if you're all locked down together. Gosh knows when we'll see each other again but I look forward to the day when we do ,so I can chew your ears off once again :-) Take care & bye for now Ali

Hi Guys & Gals Here is a picture that I’ve extracted from a 2 second I-phone video that I took of a little Robin that visits us quite a lot. It struggles to get on the feeders with its little legs so usually waits for other birds (blue tits & goldfinches like the one pictured) to knock seeds onto the floor but I guess that day it couldn’t be arsed waiting

Such a tragedy. A truly lovely bloke with great taste in music. Sending all my love and condolences to Pat & the family and to his close friends at this terrible time. Rest In Peace Dear Chico Ali xxx

A nice, but sad reminder of little John. Still bump into Christine, occasionally, and always give her the most massive hug (without crushing her tiny frame) as it’s people like her & John that made the scene great. Cheers for posting it up Ezzie & reminding me of better days on the soul scene with the loveliest of people. All the best Ali

“A gentleman is one who puts more into the World than he takes out” Really going to miss you & your lovely ways John. Rest In Eternal Peace Sending love & comfort to John’s family & close friends at this heartbreaking time Deepest Condolences Alison xxx

So very sad to hear the passing of Pete. He was the loveliest blokes with the coolest of records. I too have fond memories of him & Viv in the backroom at Lowton. What a smashing little room that was that he brought to life with his passion. Rest In Peace you True Blue. You will be missed. Sending lots of love to Viv, Adelle & the rest of the family at this heartbreaking time Ali xxx

Oh my goodness, I never wanted that footage to end Chalky! So many people I recognise on the 100 Club, Bradford & Yarmouth clips. The Bradford clip was taken above where I used to hang out with the lovely Geordies, most of them were dancing. I kind of wanted to see myself on the footage, but knowing me & how shy I was back then I would have hidden at the sign of someone videoing. I know I was there that night as I have photos of my mates in the same clothes. Same with the Yarmouth clip (Sheila & Geoff on a photo in the same clothes) Awww, what a lovely trip down memory lane & I would go back there in a shot!!!! Thanks for posting Chalky Ali x

Give him a great send off guys. I remember Dave from the early 90’s & he always made me smile. Last saw him 2 years ago at Cleethorpes (Cleggy in Cleggy!) & again he made me smile. Sending lots of love to Cheryl & his close friends at this heartbreaking time Ali xxx

A Funeral fit for a King & by heck what Soul Royalty were in attendance. I won’t mention any names as these guys are humble fellas who have been, & still are, a massive influence on the scene & don’t blow their own trumpets. Superb gentlemen, very much like Boxy. I adored Dave & will never forget my Soul Dad. Someone so special can never be forgotten. Val you did your David proud & I hope the many who attended gave you great comfort. Hope you & Kitchener are tucked up cosy tonight. Sending all my love to you Val & I’ll see you soon. Ali xxx
