Denise delving into her Laptop!
Hi, My name is Denise and I have lived in
The sign at the entrance to the town which says “The town you always return to” certainly applied to us!!
With regular visits to family etc. over the years the town has always been an extension of home to us so moving back was no hardship. Although we have sold our home here, and are going to travel this beautiful country of ours, we are still coming back to spend six months every year when we can. Our daughter and grandson live here &
We have seen so many changes in the town over the years.
The building of the Powerhouse which my husband worked on & then sadly seeing it close down years later and the joy of having it re commissioned again. Also the erection of many housing commission houses which he had sub-contracted with a builder to erect then helped some friends remove these same houses. It was sad when the fortunes of the town took a downturn and many people sold up and left the district. Now the place is booming again and it’s wonderful to see all the new faces in town and hopefully, in time, many more families. Through all these changes one thing has remained constant and that’s the friendliness of the people. We have just returned from a year of traveling and it’s been the one thing we missed. It’s great to be home again!!
I tried to find a similar little seniors computer group to help me with this contrary machine in many of the places we visited, but the Telecentre is quite unique. Thank you so much to the dedicated band of people here at Collinsville Seniors Computer Group, led by our ever patient tutor Sue. I have learnt so much over the last few years, including how to use a program to get all my old cassette tapes onto my computer and turn them into mp3 discs to play in the car etc and also scanning photos to the computer and doing all sorts of magical things with them. Thank you again.
