Glad to see the two fountains still exist.<br />Regarding my photos. Yes I do use Lightroom to post process my photos. It was very bad weather for photography just too dull and grey so post processing was necessary to bring out the colours.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-46658673405869330902016-03-07T02:30:29.195-08:002016-03-07T02:30:29.195-08:00Like Lorraine i sussed out Stonnington HC and got ...Like Lorraine i sussed out Stonnington HC and got a couple of hits.

Opposing teams have to try and knock over all the other side's blocks and finally the King. You need to learn a few tricky rules to be successful, or just be lucky. It can be played in snow and ice but grass is good too. Another name for it is Viking Chess.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-23496978435111927002016-03-05T15:37:24.812-08:002016-03-05T15:37:24.812-08:00Okay - I'll reveal my ignorance...what on eart...Okay - I'll reveal my ignorance...what on earth is Kubb?Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-31707068204706336712016-03-05T00:35:27.602-08:002016-03-05T00:35:27.602-08:00Fountains seem to make it into many families histo...Fountains seem to make it into many families history.

His new bride and her family are very much into all kinds of games, and then they gave us a set for Christmas. It's good fun but requires a bit of strategy too.Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-43795533775147937432016-03-04T12:34:02.659-08:002016-03-04T12:34:02.659-08:00Yes, you got it :-)Yes, you got it :-)Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-38563307189030290162016-03-04T12:32:02.293-08:002016-03-04T12:32:02.293-08:00Are you referring to the soda fountain as the othe...Are you referring to the soda fountain as the other kind of fountain?kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546997163198384703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-80392714714166205202016-03-04T07:52:35.517-08:002016-03-04T07:52:35.517-08:00What is it about fountains that make them popular ...What is it about fountains that make them popular backdrops for photos? In Savannah, Georgia where one of my daughters lives the big draw is the fountain at Forsyth Park. By the way, we have a Kubb game too. I am surprised to see it on your blog because nobody I know has ever heard of it.

And a finely designed bubbling public drinking fountain is always welcome in a park. Parks used to be the ultimate gathering places for the public to meet & enjoy simply planned events for their entertainment. Now it seems we need massive hoopla to inveigle us to attend any sort of event anywhere. Too bad, but - oh well.
