Hello everybody, Bad news in the papers today, RBS have pulled the plug on Peacocks. In the various writeups about them I read it was started in Warrington in 1800 something and moved its h q to south wales in the seventy years or so ago. Now---does anyone remember this. Towards the end of the 1940s all the Peacocks stores around this part of north Wales were closed, and lay empty for year after year. I can personally remember the one in Colwyn Bay (somewhere around the theatre I think) and that was definitely empty and I saw others in my travels, Wrexham is one that comes to mind. The cleaver ones amongst us 15 year olds had a solution. They reckoned that whoever the boss of Peacocks was, he had died. In his will he left all these properties to his Wife but the income from either trading or sale of properties he left to a mistress hovering in the background. So the annoyed widow shut them all down, refused to trade and refused to see, so no cash to the mistress. Anyone know if there was any truth in this story?

I was in Conwy Police station on Friday (not in trouble I hasten to add) on the way out I noticed this old cell door.  Obviously I couldn't take the photos myself but a very nice Police officer sent me these pics via email.  How old do you reckon the door is?

I think we can all relate to this one         

 
 
  Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

Today it is Tuesday
as cold as you like,
I'm off to John Pegs
and not for a hike,
I'm painting his ceiling
as promised before,
No doubt when I'm finished
There'll be more on the floor.

Now that I'll have you know is a poem written by own fair hand......I'll let you know when my little book of verse is published  :-*

Reminds of the old joke,  an advert says we have the paint that doesn't drip and the lady says I've got the drip that doesn't paint  ;D
