What was there in 1911 ---where your house is now ---

Terraced homes don't have to be rundown type/cheaper of property Gins.

It could well be that the area was affluent at the time.

I read this from Wiki:

The terrace house has housed different parts of the social spectrum in western society. Originally associated with the working class, in modern times, historical and reproduction terraces have been widely associated with the process of gentrification.

So the solicitors and doctors were going up in the world :-D


All went well with the nurse this morning though his cholesterol is a bit up!
He reckons he needs to drink more red wine to bring it down again.....huh!

Got the ironing to look forward to now...

Ive been doing some research on the area where I live and my road during the 1911 census

We live at the top and our house was built after the 1911 but the terrace houses at the bottom were there

Ive printed off lots of info for my family history file so that future generations can get a feel of the place

The terrace houses had occupants with occupations such as: solicitors, doctors, business men and tax men! It must have been quite posh but odd to think they lived in terraced homes!

Doesn't breakfast smell good when someone else is cooking? Thanks Sylvs.


PacMan! On my! My son used to have PacMan - was the system called Atari? Yep.....little man who had a big mouth! Quite a few of them about!

When my son was out with his mates, I used to sneak on the computer for a game and got quite hooked. Little did I realise that in 20 years I would be a complete computer addict! :-D


Fresh and breezy here this morning. Off to the doc for OH's annual checks and I just know he is going to ask her some questions which I could answer.....if you know what I mean....he just prefers someone in a uniform telling him. sigh ...


Back later ~~~~

Dea,

That reminded me of a game called Pacman (I think that was its name) and the little things would gobble there way along the screen before you could do something...

I am still full from my lunch which in included a chocolat au pain... and I fell asleep in the chair whilst doing some tree work.... didn't do much...

I have been here for a while Sylvia - I could hear you in there and smell it cooking but the doors were locked so I couldn't get at it !!

I have worked up quite an appetite now - here I come >>>>>>>>>>>>

It's a shame they don't have little 'munch, munch', 'yumm,yumm' symbols at the bottom of here...........

Thanks Sylvia <3

How awful for your friend LK!

I am sure he was adequately insured for his property and possessions - those can be replaced, but it is all the 'personal stuff' - letters, photo's, personal little gifts etc - all those cherished memories which can never be replaced................

They must be devastated !

So glad that no-one was hurt though.

I take it the properties are close together LK, that must have been some fire.... all that good wood gone... I am sure he would be well insured Gracie...

I think that is so sweet that your daughter was in there doing her dancing.. they are so cute when they get up to that sort of mischief... all good fun. Betcha the adult dancers loved it.

I remember going to dance Socials with various clubs, works etc and we would always do a Zorba the Greek number... great one to get everyone going.

Persie ... my lawn could do with a cut.

Good morning evryone, hope that you had a lovely weekend.

We had a busy one, baked biscuits and things all day Saturday, and then went to a Greek restaurant for dinner Saturday night. Daughter was very suitably impressed with the zorba dancing to the point where I couldn't find her, only to discover her in the middle of the circle clapping her hands and turning as the circle turned!

Sunday ffound us at another one of her friends birthday parties in an indoor play centre. Luckily she was so tired when we got home she slept for fout hours....and then wouldn't go back to sleep! So I was trying to watch Midsomer Murders and concentrate with a little voice every two seconds (or so it felt!) mummy what are you doing. What's that man doing etc etc etc!!!

Phew feel like I have come into work for a break! LK sorry about your friend's news, hope at least eh had some insurance.
