I don't know whether to cheer or cry ...Hi, Sue,<br />I don't know whether to cheer or cry when I hear that mines are re-opening. My experience on visiting South Wales, where the deep mining has more or less ended, is that the economy would have to be desperate indeed to tempt men back to the pit if the mines were to start production once more. There must be better ways of getting power, and jobs.<br />Looking forward to your photos - hope they're not completely black!John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.com
