Firstly, thank you so much for all the comments on my last post. It's so lovely to be told that you don't mind me writing some not-so-happy- posts sometimes. It definitely helps to get things off my chest 😊
Last Thursday, we had a milder, sunnier day and decided to go to the Black Country Living Museum again for a bit of fresh air and exercise. It was lovely to find that they have won the West Midlands GOLD Award for Excellence 2026. The staff and volunteers work so hard. It's well deserved.....

It had been advertised that the former library at Woodside had been removed and rebuilt at the museum and so that was our first port of call. I remember it so well from when my sister used to live near it and I would pass it on the bus when I went to visit her. I would be about 14 at the time. They have done a splendid job. It looks as good as new....
This would have been my first port of call when I was at school...Sci-Fi ! I still love it 😁
Crikey....who would learn Chinese in the 1940 -1960's ?
This SILENCE notice is a blast from the past. Our library now is so noisy!
As you can see from the blue sky, it was a beautiful day.....
After 3 hours at the museum we were both pretty shattered. My legs ached and I just wanted to sleep. Age or B12 to blame? I don't know....
What is your staying power like 🤔?

Thanks for popping in. Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

Oh wow, they definitely deserve to win that award. The 'new' library is wonderful addition. Most likely B12 to blame, Mum used to really run out of energy before her B12 injections.
ReplyDeleteWhat's my staying power like? I don't know I can't find it anywhere!!
It is really lovely, Sue, and worth a visit if you ever come back to the museum. I felt like a child again when I was in there with all those wonderful books from the era. You are allowed to handle them too ☺️
ReplyDeleteSorry you've mislaid your staying power too. Mine has definitely gone AWOL !
