Thanks OI. Great story of The Big Bang.

I love the proud grin on Mr. Owens face. "Yup, it's twins."

Thanks OI

Welcome, gentlemen.
That grin also sticks in my mind's eye. Something about it.

Wow! Just wow. Amazing photography.

I typically only post photos I’ve taken but I couldn’t pass this one up.

Is there a place for music on this board? Either way, you'll like this through and through.

Vivid!

I was relatively young and still school age and I remember how bitterly cold it was walking the 1 1/2 miles to school and back again. Back then we were only allowed to wear short pants to school so the freezing temps were cold on the legs...........of course the girls only had skirts!

It was below freezing for several weeks, water pipes were frozen, there was no central heating back then, or double-paned windows, or attic insulation, and it was almost as cold inside the house as outside unless you were within 6 ft of the open coal fire!

The sea even froze in various ports in the south east of England, particularly Margate and Herne Bay.

Thank you for sharing!

I don't know why, but I feel it's so cool to know someone who felt that moment.
