I am a firm believer in fate. It's all mapped out for us.

I hope you have a fantastic time there BC.

I firmly believe in fate,

The part of the Lake District I love the most is Borrowdale, made my first visit at 11yrs old with a school trip.
My grandma was a Borrowdale (but didn't come from there) and just recently found out that one of my ancestors was born there in the 1850s

When my dad was younger he and his mate went to the lakes on a motorbike. well the bike broke down at a place called Dalston and my dad (and his mate)had to hitch a lift home. I recently found out my Dad's Granddad was born at Dalston and lived there til he was a teenager, many ancestors from there also. My dad had no idea.

Hope you have a wonderful time away BC.

I believe in God-Incidences. He has it all planned out.

Recently I met up with a second cousin I didn't know existed. She is in contact with other relies I didn't know existed.

But I had a photo of a family in New Zealand. It turned out to be a photo of my Great Aunt when she was a baby. So, I e-mailed it.

The upshot was that my Great Aunt saw the photo, which she had never seen before. Sadly, my Great Aunt died yesterday, aged 89, of cancer. So I wasn't able to meet her. But I am so glad that she saw the photo.

Hi BC and good to see Wendy still here too and a few others I reconise.

I've not looked in for ages.... maybe it's fate telling me to? :0)
I missed the pub...just wasn't the same with out it, Arthur and those Almond croisants and the cakes Wendy was always making.
Hope Poppy and all are well.

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
