Find Ancestors

I had a fall today up the stairs and landed full weight on both hands.

My arm and shoulder is hurting somewhat more than usual.

Strange thing is I do not know how I did it.

I hope you have returned it Jonesey. The fine might be a bit steep otherwise.

Ginny you have not been educated if you have not read it. Marvellous story and some good TV adaptions too.

Reserve it from the library when Jonesey takes it back. :-D :-D

I didn't realise libraries had been going for such a long time Jonesey.




:-P

Wind in the Willows, a brilliant book. It was the first library book that I ever took out. Before anybody comments I was 8 years old at the time.

All hiding are we?


LK dont think I have ever read WiTW

I nearly cried looking at the museum link Perse.
It looks a wonderful place.
It was Mr Badger's Cafe that got me.
There is an image of the carol singers arriving at Mole's door from Wind in the Willows.
Grandad loved reading it my children.
He was also a member of the Port Sunlight Choral Society.
I have a cd of one of their Christmas recordings.
On it is Grandad reciting that chapter.
Quite emotional every time.
The choir came to sing at his funeral too.
It was Christmas time so they sang his favourite carol
-the Shepherds Farewell.
His siblings and his mother all were born near Ashburton in NZ too.

Thank you for breakfast Sylvs......another coffee if I may!


I agree Starbucks are expensive but I do like their cakes and their frappacino's.


Granddaughter was all starstruck when we went in - there were some rugby players from the local team whom she recognised. I wouldn't have known them from a hole in the road (as my mother used to say!).


Apparently, members of the team are often in there................really???


I have just had han haccident. :(


I have broken an ornament :(


It was a very nice ornament :(


It was Chinese and belonged to my parents :(


I may be able to rescue it a little with some glue.....but 'twill never be the same again. :(



I shall slink off for a shower....... :(

Yes Gins... he has done a terrific job of it.

I listened to a radio documentary on it and it sounded really great. i noticed it a couple of years ago when we went to Hawera for a wedding anniversary party but we didn't have time then.

Dea have a look at this in Germany... I put it up on one of our Freds on Facebook some time ago..

That looks like an amazing place Persie - I wish we had somewhere like that here. The grandchildren would LOVE it (and so would I ) :-D ;-)

Thanks Dea, seems me, Pers and Gracie are defo on the right track :-D

Pers, that place you posted, is it a one mans hobby, turned into a tourist place?

I've managed 7 kilos.....

I am not a fan of Starbucks... I had one at a supermarket when they first opened here... and another time they gave me a very nice free sample with vanilla in it.. so I did go back and have a vanilla coffee at our local mall... but they are buddy expensive compared to other places.

I am partying this weekend... August turned one on 13th... party this Saturday. Goodness knows what my head will be like the next day... Will be spending all day traveling tomorrow. Couple of nights down in Wellington. But on the way back we will stay a night at Wanganui and then the next day go to

Last time we went through there it was its day off... I have been wanting to go there for ages.
