Now that construction of High Speed 2 has started I thought it time to open a gallery dedicated to the project. So, here it is. Like my gallery on Hs1 I'm starting off by looking at the areas which will be transformed by the line. Like Hs2 this gallery will be years in the making, so it'll be fascinating to see what is now - and what will be in the future.
2022 Update.
I'll be adding lots my pictures from site visits this year, so stay tuned. Just for fun I'm also adding pictures of the tiny anti HS2 demonstrations (if/when) they happen as a contrast to what they couldn't stop!
Lynn Marie O' Donoghue, the woman who was the light of my life for so many years, left this world this morning. Words can't express...
IN MEMORIAM..........
Lynn used to have this poem by Ann Gray in a frame on our bedroom mantelpiece. She kept it with her and I found it in her possessions at the end:
“Let’s love, listen, take time when time is all we have.
Let’s be unafraid to be kind, learn to disregard the bad if the good outweighs it daily.
Let’s make a gift of silence, the day’s hushing into dark, and when we hold each other let’s always be astonished we are where we want to be”
I don’t know when Lynn did it, but she had highlighted the final paragraph, which says;
“Let’s hope to age together, but if we can’t, let’s promise now to remember how we shone when we were at our best, when we were most ourselves”
