    @ThePigeons because windows were taxed! It was seen as a 'fair' way to tax someone on their income at the time, so some people bricked up their windows to get out of paying it

    Aw is it Lonesome George? I think he died though, but I still remember him being really old and the last of his species!

    Aidan's going on a google earth adventure again. Where is he this time?


    Aidan has gone to Australia. The nearest big town is Alice Springs.  It is not even that near. It is 450km away (281.25 miles.) The afryal rock is called Uluru (or Ayers Rock.)

    Tuesday
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
