Header 31-03-10 = Urban Decay

Urban Decay - was Gailsman choice for our Header this week.
My Header is An old warehouse in Nottingham, shot from the moving train.
Why this shot, because - I just love the shadows and lines that just
shout out - URBAN DECAY.

My post pics
1) The old warehouse with a ray of hope (rainbow)
this was very near to be my header, but dont tell GM(wink wink)
2) A derelict shop with the window cracked - just love the pattern.
3) Another derelict shop boarded up and painted out.

Go visit the Headbangers Team (list on my side bar - just underneath my Header.) and leave a comment.

As you may have guessed Ive posted earlier as I will be down south visiting Mum-In-Law in hospital on Headbangers day.
The surgeon tried to fit MIL with a pace maker today, but failed due to her earlier op a few years ago, but will try again tomorrow - and insert it on her other side. -- Thanks for all your blessings and wishes.

I have nominated that Jane Wiggley will take my vote for me this week.
So sorry that I have not visited folk today, as Blogger has been acting up, with wiping out posts for a while. I will rectify this when I'm back next week.

Good luck to you all - and sorry to GM for the ribbing I gave him over my Rainbow.(hehe).

4 Dimentions of The Nottingham Wheel

Round and Round and Round so slow,
See Nottinghams sights as you go,

You're sure to enjoy your flight.

Gig Night at Lee Rosy's Tea Room Nottingham

Friday night - Gailsman and I with our D/W's went to Lee Rosy's Tea Room to see my son Rob,  he plays the base Guitar in The Red Shoe Diaries Group from Nottingham.
The 1st group up were The Pete Green Corporate Juggernaut, they gave a great turn and the Drummer was super.

Next were The Red Shoe Diaries, Rob is on the right.
Their performance was fantastic, I was really impressed with them and the young lady singer has a wonderful voice, they were led by Tom who had everyone tapping their feet.
The Tea Room was filled to the brim, with everyone enjoying themselves, along with a group of girls jigging away on the side.

Also appearing was The Witherd Hand, but regretfully we had to leave.

Truly a Great Night Out.
Thanks for a really entertaining Night out.
