B has given her blessing for me to take over for a bit so we’ll be spending some time comparing Newcastle to Michigan where I live now. B will be back to regular posting on Monday 9 August!
This is my room in Emmett, MI:
But Newcastle isn’t so far away, as this is on the opposite wall;
Oh, and that’s my pup Mollie in the corner there. The other room is my home office.
Nice flag!!!
I just helped my son put one up in his room. Poor lad is only 6 but based on last season he thinks NUFC win all the time.
Nice comment PJF - don’t disabuse your son of that belief!
Well done Cass - good to see a ‘toon’ flag on a wall in Michigan! Pat Mollie’s head for us all.
I am just loving this exchange and glimpse - and you know Cassandra, 1800’s for a family house is wonderful, you could be a Grade 22 listed in the USA. It is so special that it is still being lived in by family.
Now confession time, I have a stained glass window of NUFC. It is 1 yard square and backed by flowered glass. I know it cannot possible be the only one t but don’t know where and have no history on who where why or how. It was bought as a Christmas present for me, as it was lying around in an office in Manston Airport Kent and the Mayor of Ramsgate, who is a friend of mine, spotted it and asked if they were not using it could he buy it. They thought about it and hey presto its in my cottage. Wondered if any NUFC fan knows anything about it.
Dave - advice noted! I think he is a committed fan.
I too am enjoying these Michigan comparisons. I live in Ontario which makes MI our neighbour to the west, but I have never made it over the border there. (We’ll be flying over on our way to Minnesota next week though).
Mrs K - no idea about the glass. I wonder if you have it on prominent display like Cassandra’s flag :)
Cass, I love your pictures but I am a bit confused. When I googled Emmett I got a population of 251 and then I got a population of 11000 so which is it? Wait a minute am I confusing Emmett Village with Emmett Township? Please, which one do you live in?
