Header Challenge 15-02-12 = Lets get out of here by Christopher

My youtube music this week is by the Trews - Locked Doors.

The theme this week is by Christopher - ((Lets get out of here))

My take on this theme is of a sad note - but I hope it helps this illness that so many of us suffer.
ALZHEIMERS.

This illness is like having the doors being shut and locked in the corridors of your mind.
Lets hope that one day - they will find a cure for this dreadful illness - when someone close to you suffers this illness it feels like you lose that person twice - 1st time when they get Alzhemers - and then again when they Pass on.
Hence my Header and poem -- but lets take it a step further shall we - what about all the other doors that have NEVER been opened in the Corridors of the Mind.

Read my Poem and see what I mean.


My post - could this be a part of the corridor of the mind -with the door locked and never been opened where no one has ever been??


If you ever get these doors open - what would we leave behind - or lose???

Please go visit the other Headbangers and see their take on this weeks theme by Christopher
(Lets get out of here).

These good folk are on my side bar - near my shield.

Good Luck.

Nottingham Weekend away

Saturday afternoon we were invited to "Frosty Towers" - Gail and Christophers home, where we were made very welcome and with a nice cuppa and choccy biscuit.
The 2 ladies decided to stay in and have a natter - Christopher looked at me and said shall we go out with our cameras, I didnt need asking twice,lol.
Christopher drove us to Beeston Quay to see the sun setting over the river.
Here are some of my photos ------


 Tis said that this empty old building could be "Haunted"??


 Bye bye sun

 This power station caught my attention and I photographed it a dozen or so times,lol what caught my eye was the smoke/steam whatever colour and patterns with the sun going down.

 Aboard the Frosty-tanic came the shout " splice the mainbrace matey Mac --  "Aye aye Captain Christopher , came the reply...


 As we sank beneath the waterline with the sun.............


 More from the Power Station



 There's a few folk living on these barges you know, and with the cold night closing in - these folk stoke their fires up

 Plane and its trails going somewhere?


 Along with this boat off to see the sea?

 Plane trails catches the sun on its way to a watery death.



 I think this is my best shot from the Power Station - which do you favour out of all these Smoky Joes??

Back to Frosty Towers and another cuppa from Gail - then off to feed our selves for a Carvery and a pint.
But poor Jack - sorry  Christopher stood there like a stalk waiting for his beans to arrive -------after 2 plates of veggies they appeared but our Jack - sorry Christopher was not a happy bunny. -- but after a word with the manager we all ended up with(out a bean) , sorry with a smile.

So it was time to bid our fair wells to Gail and Christopher as they drove us back to Nottingham.
Julie and I REALLY  enjoyed their company, they are wonderful hosts, Thank-you Jack-er Robin - sorry Christopher and Gail for everything - and being our friends.
