It really tells the story of a community.<br />When I was a child, a wealthy neighbour of mine kept lions in a cage. I remember when I went by on the school bus feeling really upset by the sight of them kept like that. It seems incredible now that someone was allowed to keep such animals in that way,Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-78616346847174918542014-01-15T17:55:06.313+00:002014-01-15T17:55:06.313+00:00I love Matlock, I actually prefer it to Matlock Ba...I love Matlock, I actually prefer it to Matlock Bath.
