Shake a leg folks. :-D <3

It’s a cracking autumnal day out there - bright and sunny without a hint of a breeze.

Not a lot to do today but finish off a pal’s paternal family tree.

Enjoy your day everyone, whatever you plan to do. :-D <3

Morning Joy and Belle :-D :-D

Sunny here this morning but I bet it's going to be parky for my outdoor sit by canal.

Joy, I was a Secret Seven girl myself - Famous Five was too grown up :-0

Belle, can I join Ralphie? My claws need clipping too. They grow so fast but that's a good sign so I read. :-D

Morning everyone :-) <3

The sun is hiding, but it's dry, so will be OK to walk round to meet a friend at a local pub, where they are holding a Macmillan Coffee morning, think it's on until nearly 4 pm,

The homemade cakes will be good :-D

OK Island, sounds good. I, too, chat to anyone yet I was very shy as a child. Learned to be outgoing when the friend of a schoolfriend's dad said to me, 'Shy children get no sweets'. That was the transcription but in the local lingo (which Kath would know), it was, 'Shy bairns get nee bullets.'

Did you watch that series, 'Canal Boat Diaries', by the way?

Evening Maddie and Elizabeth. :-D <3 :-D <3

Don’t recall The Naughtiest Girl In School, Maddie. The only book from my childhood that is still on my bookshelves is The Water Babies, bought for me by an uncle and aunt who sent me a book every Christmas. I always got two annuals from my parents but they have disappeared in the mists of time.

I have children’s books galore upstairs, but they are son’s, daughter’s and grandchildren’s.
