Hi All
It has rained during the night. I slepted off and on all night when I could not get back to sleep out came my book and I read a couple of chapters before I went off again.
Your have company then Linda with you OH retiring. my John never retired he died when he was 61. I always felt sad for him he worked all his life was in the Army and then he dieds.we had planned what we would do when he retired.

Cath we may not meet at a meet LOL but we may meet because one of us is holidaying in Guernsey look at me I spent the day in Guernsey when I was in Weymouth on Holiday. we might had been able to meet.? evenj if it was only for a cup of tea in a cafe. next time I will let you know.


Pat it sounds nice a road lined with trees. but they may look nice but you can get problems I lived twice in tree lined roads we had trouble with leaves when they fell. also with roots that grew up on to pavements cracking the path and even under walls

where I live now in Surrey we have a large area of trees when I walk to and from the shops they grow quickly and we get long feelers hanging over the paths the council do come and cut them back but due to the cuts they put it off as long as they can. I also have a canal not that far from me and where I shop we have a Lake and loads of fields.

off shopping in a minute. no meat for the weekend.

be back later.

Morning all,
Mo, daughters 21st is 8th September but we are going for the meal on the 9th as its a Friday and nobody will have work on the saturday. She is going on holiday to Cyprus with her partner at the end of September and that will be the first time shes gone abroad. :-)

I am in Guernsey for those of you who don't know already. No chance of meeting anyone at a GR meet methinks. :-( :-(

Raining again this morning, what a dismal summer it's been :-P
Have a huge pile of ironing to do this morning and no excuse not to so will be back later if I don't get swallowed up by it.

Cath xx

Morning everyone,
That's posh Maddie- a road with trees! :-)
I live on a road as well but no trees!

Morning all
Well it has rained a lot overnight here. It is overcast still and not very inviting.
Walked a fair bit yesterday, first with hubby after taking the car for a service then with my daughter taking her lurcher out for a walk around.
She had her scan yesterday and all is well. She has a date of late February so we could have a leap year baby !!! She has her next scan at 20 weeks in October and that dates more acurately.
Marilyn Hubby is retiring at the end of September. He finally did it.
George I love Winchester. We often go to the Farmers Market there on Sundays. My family came from Winchester too so I find I really enjoy being there. I was born and bred in Southall West London, but we have gradually moved west. Then a year or so ago I found my Great Grandfathers mother was born in Wokingham and we love it there too. I wonder if we are drawn to places connected with our ancestors?

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX :-) <3

PS Morning Maddie you added while I was typing !!!

Good Morning from a wet and grey London Town.

Hi Marilyn, yep, just up the village, I am not able to walk too far.
Trouble was I used to have a little too much and my mouth came into action before my brain...lol, but I am a good boy now.... :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Foggy yes I knew all that area most of Mums fathers family came from that way. some lived in Chelsea they nearly all got married in that area Kensington and Maryleborn,

My sister and I go for a day out when she is here staying with me and we go past Winchester, dont we ? when going to Portsmouth ? I live in the district of Woking it is about 5 minutes from the station so I can get to the coast in an hour and half Southsea. Portsmouths . we travel that way alot when we go on holiday to Devon, Dorset or Cornwall ?I love that part f the world., I use to travel abroad alot but when I became ill I didnt want to take the chance of being ill while abroad.. we used the Eurostar alot as well as Heathrow,..
My sister lives near Jnathon Ross she is also treasurer of Hampstead Historical Society, we both belong to Willesden History Society,

It has all altered around there now.Willesden is nothing like it was when I was growing up. we hardly had any traffic and we had lovely parks .and good schools but even they have closed down or turned into Colleges do you recall Willesden tech in Dudden Hill Lnae I went there as well. in 1942/3

I think Marilyn lives in Devon but was born in Cornwall ? I was trying to remember Paulines address I thought it was Washinton Tyne and Wear ? I am not too sure.

Mo
Johnny BLue Eyes was on a few weeks ago he has someone in his tree related to my Husbands family.. He helped me alot when I was doing that side of the family. heard nothing since.
well off to bed now
Night everyone
