	It is 146 years ago that Canada became a Nation, as against a dependency of the UK. There will be street parties, fireworks, musical entertainment, etc The biggest party of all will be on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. William and Kate attended that party 2 years ago. I'm hoping OH will take his cousin-by-marriage down to the one on the waterfront of the Harbour ........ ......... I'll stay home and try to keep cool :-D It reached 28 C outside on Sunday, around 32 inside .......... and it is supposed to be higher later today. so ................ Happy Birthday, Canada

	Best wishes to all Canadians on this Canada Day, did it not used to be called Dominion Day. I can remember going to a party in Trafalgar Square in London with some Canadian friends - not sure if they still celebrate it in Trafalgar Square.
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	Happy Canada day to our Canadian friends and family. Every year this day is marked by a memorial service at Shorncliffe cemetery, Folkestone, Kent to honour the lives of many Canadians buried there after fighting for their country in World War 1. Local primary school children lay posies of flowers for these men who fought, died and rest so far from their homeland. I have not long returned from there, although I wasn't at the service, but found it quite moving to see the little bunches of different flowers placed with care. They are not forgotten. Gwyn
