Frances in Norwich

Frances in Norwich Report 25 May 2006 20:45

No I am not moving to Suffolk, LOL!! We have moved offices today, it has been busy but I have managed to carry on working throughout AND get my desk sorted. Still a lot of unpacking to do though. Thanks for asking Liz. Shirley, How about a Suffolk meet now that you have created all this interest? Or will you all come to Norwich in September when we have the Norwich meet in honour of Sue from NZ? Frances

Count me in - sort-of! My Grandfather was born and bred in Bury St. Edmunds, as was his father. All of his side of the family came from either Bury, Horringer or Chevington. And guess what?? He was a CHENERY!!!! I have travelled all over the world, but moved down to a little place near Diss, Norfolk, last December. I feel as though I have come home to roost now.............. Chris
