Local history for Walsall and beyond. Things that Go Bump in the Borough. Posted by A. Stuart Williams. Asymp; Leave a comment. The 17th century White Hart pub, Caldmore, Walsall, c1896. There are a few particularly memorable local stories of the supernatural, perhaps the most popular of which relate to The White Hart. The legendary home of the ‘Caldmore Ghost’ is a very old and picturesque house, later used as a pub, located on Caldmore Green, just outside Walsall town centre. This grisly object, now on...

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage: March 2014

http://ramblingsofamadoldbaggage.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. Tiptoeing through the bluebells. Me and Mom in 2002 before she got ill. I've spent the last three days in the garden. Yes, even today when it rained or drizzled for the majority of the time I was out there having great fun with the pressure washer. My greenhouse is now pristine. Posted by Linda Mason.

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage: March 2015

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. A moment that changed my life. Back in August 1996, I stood outside an electrical retailers shop on Ealing Broadway. My life really did change by that decision to enter the shop. Posted by Linda Mason. There wasn't a great deal of fuss this morning but it was a fitting ceremony. As part of a national programme. I'm surprised that more publicity wasn't given prior to th...

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. A Hustings We Will Go. Storm clouds gather over Aldridge Comm. Five of the six candidates standing for election attended, the only one not there was The Monster Raving Loony Party candidate, which was a pity because his manifesto although perhaps written with tongue firmly in cheek does contain elements of local problems that do need addressing.

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage: November 2014

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. Poppies and a veil of tears. We found a relatively quiet spot to stand silently by the moat, each wrapped up in our own thoughts. The rain was apt, providing a veil of tears through which the river of blood flowed.

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. Sins of the Fathers: A Rant against laziness and an apology. Last Wednesday I emailed our local councillors, John Murray, Timothy Wilson and standing for re-election on Thursday, John Rochelle, as reported here. The email is reproduced once again:.

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. In the Bleak Mid Winter of Cuts and Decline. Main pathway into Park Lime Pits from car park. Water levels are incredibly high- the steep embankments look positively benign! The brook that runs through the reserve was as fast and full as I have ever seen and it is making massive inroads into the banking. No willow weaving to keep the banks sturdy and strong.

And then the tears rolled down my face, slowly, silently. The pain in my heart solid like a rock. The longing to hug you and hold you, a physical pain almost renting my body in two. I miss you Son.

Ramblings of a Mad Old Baggage. What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage. The view from the top of Whetstone Lane. I haven't much felt like engaging with the world in a social manner just recently. It's been a case of staying indoors and avoiding people and even avoiding in depth conversations on-line. Today I decided that a walk would help because after all, walking has always helped me think things through. More from the conservation area.
