Friend didn't make it......................:o( she had an extra little boy and he was playing up.................... only a baby and they don't understand do they.

Daughter has come though and we've just enjoyed a nice bowl of veg soup I threw together this morning.

Baby is asleep after her lunch so all is well in my world

Enjoy this afternoon.

The weather is OK but overcast and damp not too good here

Linda :o) XxX

Here I am !

Just woke up 8am..

Just had news about my dad ....he got skin cancer on his back, he has to go in a couple of weeks to have it cut out .he's only 95yrs !!! bless him.

Rita I'll look forward to reading about your story of the LEE'S in DFHS wish I had it here,could do with reading something from back home .
Hope you are feeling better.

Pauline what happened to the posh cups ?
Tastes the same I know ,but I designed them ....LOL

Now lady has gone don't need the glass one do we.....what a pity she's not renewing, shame as she one another original on thread !!

My sister has come out in Hives.......she had to go to the doctors yesterday and had an injection & cream ,I hope she is OK.
I though she went a bit quiet >>>>>

Shelly I'm still waiting for an up date photo of our Ollie is your camera broken ?

Mo, I'll send you my addy so you won't miss me out again, can't be bothered to sulk - too much effort..........lol

Marilyn, sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he'll be alright, is there much to cut out? How has he taken the news?

By the way Marilyn, I couldn't find the new cups when I made the coffee this morning, but I see Mo found them. What does that tell you?? It tells me that she must have hidden them away from me. She's afraid I'll break them!

Rita, we won't get the chance to see your story in the magazine. Is it too long to put on here for us to read?

No Shelly or Sue yet, they must both be working hard today.

Oops, forgot to say 409 for Olly.

Pauline it is not really a story it was how I came about finding my Grand fathers brother who DFHS knew I had been searching for for 6 years.and one of the members came a cross him by chance well she thought it was him and gave me some details via email and I traced them up. ,They have published a photo of Great Uncle Walter .
I headed it Found Walter Lee.

Many people will recall I have been searching for two brothers of my Grandfather Fredrick, Abslom and Walter . Joan from Devon Family History Society gave me details of a Walter Lee she had come across while researching for one of her relations she also supplied me with his service number I contacted the Archives in Islington and managed to get his full service record, which included all the ships he had served on , The records showed he had joined the Navy as a cadet. and the records showed how he had worked his way up to become a 1st class Petty Officer. His service records went up to and included 1911 where he was in the Dock Yard it showed he was retired but still classed as a Ship to Shore pensioner.
I have not been able to trace him after this..however the amazing thing that happened after this . I was staying with my sister which I do quiet often we had visited the Kew Archives and I asked her for a copy of two photos she had of our father while looking through her photo album I said I didnt know Grandmother had a brother William in the Navy surely William was in the 7th Dragoon guards with Grandfather ? I looked on the back of the photo and found he had written William Lewis Royal Navy , He reminded me so much of my cousin Stanley and I noticed he had an insigina on his sleeve after blowing the pohto and using a magnifying glass we could just make out the inscription 1st Class Petty Officer.. It was our Walter . If I had noticed it before I could have solved where Walter was all those years

Rita

Mo as I dont sleep well infact I hardly sleep at all I read half the night away I managed to get through about four books a week I enjoy all sorts of books from History to Biographys to Novels I enjoy historical novels not keen on mysterys or muder but most of the others I will read.

Rita

evening every one

Rita, that's what makes this hobby of ours so interesting. It makes it all worth while when you find someone you've been looking for doesn't it? Have you had any luck with the other brother yet?

Mo, it wasn't me, I didn't put those cups in the bin, I was looking all over for them this morning.

Marilyn might have to design some more for every day use, we can keep those posh ones for Sundays.

Where's Shelly and Sue?

Ooops, there's Shelly............lol

Didn't see you there.
