Sing songs at the pub ::)

 It sort of reminds me of the film "Educating Rita".  She is in the pub and everyone around her is singing some old timey “ain’t we got fun” kind of song and she doesn’t want to know the words anymore.   Rita glances over at her mother, notices she’s crying as asks her why.
Her mother says, “There must be better songs to sing than this.” which becomes Rita’s mission statement.

I've never been one for that sort of place and don't regret their demise.  I do regret the demise of pubs that sold proper ale and didn't have slot machines. 

But generally, I am happy, and if I'm not I can just look over my back fence at the rolling countryside.  If it's really bad, I watch the sea on a rough day. 
You'll have had your tea.

Lately we seem to have had numerous relatives and friends, contemporaries who have fallen by the wayside.  Yet thankfully despite health problems my wife and self are still here and are fortunate enough to have a loving family so we are very happy indeed.  I can find enjoyment in reading, drawing and painting, coaxing a tune out of my keyboard and generally pottering about.  Perhaps unsophisticated pastimes to some but very fulfilling to a relatively simple undemanding soul like me.  Plus if we want "foreign" travel, there is always that Mecca of the East, Skegness just down the road.

I think Mella is a lucky dog.  She looks very happy but I'm not surprised as I know she goes on lots of lovely walks.

Indeed, she is our constant companion! Having walked with me and my camera from her puppy days, when I stop to watch or take a photo, she just comes and sits by me. If it's a bit longer she just lies down. She's a wonderful little dog, very girlie!!!
