[DrBirendraJha]

Amazing! I enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing

[leftysergeant]

Simple and direct story-telling in this. The monument was a testimony to the nature of the men who worked the mine and built what the community was at its high point.

The theft is, I guess a sign of what we as a culture are becoming. So, yes, it does still speak to what we might be.

[faffytunes]

song well done

[sun21760flower]

dear Mel..great as always! best wishes for the weekend!! 5*

[beachfrontal]

Back for another listen, and enjoying every second of your song, Mel, you have so much to say, thanks for caring for our heritage, I guess the wheel  is totally irreplacable, as there was only THAT wheel, something sticks in my head that it was the return wheel, Don't quite know why I think it os called that , I do hope that if it is named the return wheel ,that just maybe someones concience will be touched by this and will do just that return IT!!!.

[amazongift]

@beachfrontal I think it was a return wheel because the winding wheels are enormous, I dont think I'll hold my breath for it's return....Have a great weekend David...Mel

[marycigarettes]

[amazongift]

@master1111fly  Many thanks...mel

[luvperu1]

Thank you dear Mel for sharing with us your very

tender heart..It is sad that whomever took it didn't

see the importance of the monument to the people

that worked in the mine..Hopefully the monument

will be restored-but then you wonder will the petty

thieves be back again..I do hope there is a happy

ending to this story..Beautifully sung as always Mel.

I wish you a lovely weekend...Polly

BTW--The valley looks very lovely-any chance

of filming that next time ?

[amazongift]

@luvperu1 Hi Polly..Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment...The local council say it wont be restored as the the winding wheel was an original piece of the mines headgear...They say it will be too expensive to replace for it to be stolen again...A sad sign of the times I'm afraid Anyway it's not the end of the world and worse things happen....Have a wonderful weekend...Mel

[beachfrontal]

It is probably on the back of a huge truck taking stolen copper street lighting wire + an assortment of other semi precious metals on its way to Romania. This kind of thing happened when they arrived on the Spanish border, since Spain now discourages their arrival they have moved to the UK THE NEW EL DORADO,just wait for the burglary with extreme violence to begin, that was the second wave,militarily trained thieving comandoes, highly trained, well equiped,what a shame!!! what have we done?

[amazongift]

@beachfrontal Thanks for the wise words as always David...I think we opened pandora's box when we opened borders...Criminals are finding it easy to target us then disappear..I fear it's only going to get worse....Any way thanks as always and have a great crime free weekend Lol...Mel

Nice one again Mel, a little history lesson for times gone by and the shit times we now live in a world with less and less community spirit in so many places, In saying that poverty created community all in one boat if you catch my drift , when people could not expect hand outs but had to live off one and other, Anyways lol fantastic talent awesome song loved it
