Time To Say Goodbye.....But

Well it's the end of July and this is my final piece. It has been a pleasure. I hope my articles during the period April 2006 to date have been of interest. It is sad for me knowing that it's ending, but it has to be; if you wish to gauge the level of my sadness Google into - Time to say goodbye: Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman do a good job for me.

So what is the 'But' in the article heading? Well I can tell you there is a major hope of a big boost to the site's collection of photographs; in a bedroom in Brandon there are potentially  hundreds of photographs of Ushaw Moor, from the 50s, taken by my uncle Norman. If that is the case, and it may well be so, I will make an effort to get anything appropriate onto the site - even if it takes years rather than months to achieve it.

  1. wilf,
    I am very sad to see you are signing off. It would appear that we three exiles have contriubuted a lot to this website, Alfie Rothwell, yourself and myself. I have enjoyed your articles over the years. I have a lot to contribute still but I wonder if it really creates any interest what we put on. I have yet to see anyone that I went to school with or was friends with in boyhood contributing anything to the site. Good Luck in your new venture.
