My mum has gone away !

 


My mum has gone away,
I wish she'd never left,
If she had stayed a little longer 
This pain she would prevent 
 
This pain inside my heart,
This pain inside my head,
She'd take me in her loving arms
And put a smile back there instead 
 
I miss my mothers smile,
I miss my mothers skin,
But most of all I miss her warmth
and the love she bore within 
 
The love she had for me,
my dad and brother too,
My mum is my best friend,
It's tough to struggle through 
 
To struggle through this loss, 
To grasp she isn't there, 
I sit and look around the house 
And feel her everywhere 
 
I feel her in the walls,
In every single room, 
The cut is just too deep
when I realize it's not true 
 
My mum has gone away,
And no one can replace 
Her support, her charm, her joy
Gone to their final resting space 
 
My mum has gone away 
And part of me's gone too 
My mum is my best friend,
What am I now to do? 
 
My best to make her proud,
My best to remain strong, 
To keep her memory vibrant, 
and live on and on and on 
 
My mum has gone away.
I'll think of her each day. 
Smiling, laughing, joking
mum and I, us two.
 
Mummy you've gone away 
I wish it wasn't true
I hope you always know 
just how much that I love you.

“ We will never surrender !” France fell to the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940 . The retreating British Army ended up being rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk by a flotilla of little ships leaving behind much of their equipment . A German invasion was expected ! Winston Churchill the British prime minister made his famous “ we will fight them on the beaches – we will never surrender ! “ speech and the Battle of Britain was on ! The UK desperately needed submachineguns . The Government ordered well made expensive Thompsons from the still neutral United States but there was never enough available .

Bonny and Clyde and the Browning Automatic Rifle

Bonnie and Clyde and the BAR ! Clyde Barrow, holding a Browning automatic rifle. BAR's could fire a twenty-shot magazine loaded with armor-piercing ammunition in under three seconds. During the depression of the 1930's in the USA criminals were looked at in a different way by many of the people who had been victimized and impoverished by the rich bankers and the emerging powerful corporations. Many people saw them as people driven to the edge that were only taking back what was stolen from them and striking back at a society and Government that let the Depression cause so much harm to so many . Two of the most famous criminals of that time were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow . They were known to be quite skilled with their weapons, and unlike most criminals, they practiced with them and maintained them . Sadly they are considered to be responsible for the deaths of at least Nine law enforcement officers and five civilians during...

501 NE 4th street - Plumbing

Drainage The first thing I have found strange is the constant requirement for testing at every stage but here with the building being largely wooden it does make sort of sense . A minor fault in the plumbing could lie undetected otherwise within the walls and only surface once damp damage had become extensive and be very costly to repair . Thus it is required that once the drains have been run throughout the building frame they are filled completely with water to ensure their soundness . I took the wise precaution of making up a screw in fitting with a pressure gauge and an inflation valve to test the pipes with air first as once the system was full of water it would be time consuming and difficult to get the water out and to dry where necessary to effect repairs . First things first - all the drainage flows within the house in a trunk and branch layout . The main 4 inch drain had already been tested and laid under the b...
