Cromford Hill and 191 Members

Another good day yesterday. I am currently working my way up Cromford Hill and we have reached 191 members!

 

I called at one house and talked to an old man; and them moved on. I got a few doors up the hill and signed up someone who is doing up his house – left I a terrible state by the previous owner.

 

When coming down the other side of the road an hour later, I was hailed by an old lady coming out of the second house I had visited. She got me to cross the road to tell me that she wanted to join, so I followed her back to the first house and signed her up on a concessionary membership.

 

She turned out to be registered blind, how she saw me across the road I don’t know, but the most cheerful person I have met. She had memories of dances at the Grand Pavilion and had seen many of the famous bands; that appeared there in the early sixties.

 

Anyway I was just across the road, and resuming my downward progress, when I got hailed again. The same lady beckoning me back!

 

Back into the first house again and this time to sign up her tenant, the old man that I had originally spoken to; who also wanted to join.

 

Anyway; I completed my downhill progress, wishing that I had the same amount of energy as that nearly blind octogenarian.
