Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Absolutely - a by-election should automatically be triggered when an MP defects to another party.

It is a story! - killed in Kirkland, near Ennerdale but transported home to Caldbeck to be laid to rest with their grandfather. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Also my husbandโ€™s 3x gt. grandfather, a great grand aunt, and his 2 murdered gt. grand uncles!
Caldbeck and the church of St Kentigern are special places.

We went there about 20 years ago. It is so eerie walking around the empty streets and yet normal life goes on just a short walk away. Itโ€™s hard to believe that things like this can happen.
This is an excellent book by Robert Pike - really worth reading.

Itโ€™s lost mine - there again I only lent it to them anyway!

All my family history stuff is rattling round in my head but I donโ€™t seem to be able to write anything meaningful - itโ€™s just a mixed up mess!!๐Ÿ˜ณ

The one in the old Blacksmiths? My husbandโ€™s 2 x gt. grandfather was a blacksmith at one time in Caldbeck but not sure if it was at that one.

Caldbeck is a beautiful place - we have ancestors buried in the churchyard.

Itโ€™s great there. I grew up not too far away and had friends living at North Rode.
