Shelly I knew that so there.

Dads memories has 200 pages now but it will increase as the book is smaller pages and we have some old photos to go in as well so nice ones of places in Willesden and some of Dads paintings we have taken copies of and they will go into the book as well .
My own one has come to a hault at the moment I have so much going on letters to write. files to sort and have to draw up a new family tree for myside of the family as i now have a lot more dates I have to get a large clip file to put the papers we have done of Dads work .
that will take me ages as I need to punch the holes in the right places.
a couple, of the Willesden Characters Like the Horse Doctor an the Good Hearted Butcher .
i am giving to a magazine for they need History of the area and people.
so I have a lot to do.

Rita

just thought id let you all in case you think im on the run still from rita LOL

HELLOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!


I'm having a great time.

Have met a couple from Essex, what a scream they are.....ended up doing her tree ???
She thought she was from a Jewish hereditary but found out it was French.
So now I have some homework to do,when I get home got to finish it off at home as I have not got all my web sites with me.

The weather not bad but its warm....so don't think I'll have a tan.

I couldn't get on the internet much the first week as the rooter its not been connected to the hotel.

It could fail any time though !!

Linda what a lot you have been through,I think you could do with a break ?

Hope you are all missing Me ?????????

Morning All

Shelly you would not need to run because I could catch up on my broomstick anyway now as had its MOT done so be careful I am watching .

weather is very wet this morning dark skies and very wet . I am pleased I went and did my shopping yesterday day. I am off to the laundry room to put my washing in the machine a about ten minutes .

My Granddaughter who lives in Dorset emailed me last night and said they had been warned to expect heavy snow but she said last time they did that they didnt that they didnt get any it only comes when they dont get a warning.

Marilyn you get your backside back here. now,

see you later.



Rita

Morning Marilyn and Rita
Yes it is wet and dark here this morning. There must have been sleet too as the greenhouse was white. Hopefully we will only get wet snow "sleet".
Little one is here. She is sleeping now.
Changing her day tomorrow to Friday as I have to have more blood tests and another hospital appointment in the afternoon............... thyroid this time, been waiting since November.
Well off to sort out some craft syuff for little to try when she wakes up.

Be back later

Linda :o) XxX

Morning Linda

Better sleet than deep snow isnt it ? as long as the sleet does not turn into ice.
It is still raining here at the moment I do hate these dark mornings as well.
I got a letter from the hospital yesterday telling me off for not having my INR blood test done.on the 7th and they have booked me in for 21 st. but I have already had that done so I am doing nothing till I get the yellow letter telling me what my reading is and what tablets to go onto. I am, all most out of brown tablets (1gr) so will have to take the perscription over the surgery to get it filled.

Love Rita

Hey Ho I have sleet and a bit of snow knew I should have kept my mouth closed. it is getting really cold as well.

I have just done some prints of photos my sister brought me over yesterday. as well as two photos she took of cotes and duck on the Regency park lake they ae "dancing on Ice " it looks so quaint to see them and they didnt need ice skates either.

rita

Watch out Shelly,Rita on her broomstick,is a sight to see. It's the cat on the back you have to watch out for,it's not a normal cat,it's a black panther that she has trained up to do her chasing for her. lol
Has the painting been started yet Shelly.
Hi there Marilyn. You are supposed to be on holiday,not chasing up other peoples families. Surely you are not that bored. If you are,get back pretty darn quick,as Shelly needs the bedroom painted.
My god Linda and Rita's doctors,must be related to Dracula,they are always taking blood from them.
Seriously though,I hope you both get on alright.
I wonder where Pauline,Sue,Lady and Yvonne have got to.
It looks like you had better get your prescription done pretty darned quick Rita,just in case the snow does lay,you cannot afford to run out.
We have no signs off snow YET. But it is very cold,perhaps to cold for snow.

If it is not too bad outside tomorrow I will take the perscription over to the surgery and hand it in otherwise I will phone and ask them to renew it for me.
I got the yellow letter back this morning(I get this when I have had a blood test done because of the level of the reading )and it reads 1. 90 so I have to take the same amount of tablets and I dont have to have the next test till 15th March. thank god for small mercie Also glad to tell you I have got the photos I wanted of the DeHaviland factory at Stag Lane Middlesex one inside and one of the outside. my sister just sent them as attachments she went to the Willesden Archives ths morning and got them from them. so one happy bunny at the moment.
time to answer some letters now before I sit and have a rest poor old soul.

Rita

marilyn have you not fant my fanny annie little nanny barber yet lol

Hi Shelly the percentage key is the one above the number 5

I have not done my tree for a while either although my cousin who is an Archivist has sent me four generations of my fathers family up date in other words she has found births of children who died and partners for the sisters and thier children and some deaths. but I need to check them all first before I put them onto my tree.incase she has made a mistake she did once before ,

Rita

Hi Shelly,

Your Fanny Annie Barber.....has done a runner...LOL


I got loads to do for this Essex lot....They have gone home today and I miss them..LOL

I have a little corner in the Hotel that I do my messages on my lappy...Wine in one hand ....having a ball !!

Going to see friends in another part of Cyprus and then going Grave hunting with another friend.......sad aren't we ?????

The men are just our chauffeurs .....LOL

Speak soon...XXXXX

Marilyn, that's a bit of a busman's holiday isn't it? You could have stayed at home and done a tree for those people. Have you got family buried out there? Who's grave are you looking for?

Rita, you're right to check other people's work, it could easily be wrong. When I first started I got a lot of help from a distant relative, but I had to delete most of it off my tree later when I checked it and found out it was wrong. She'd found someone with the same name as our ancestor who was born in the same place so just assumed it was him. When I got the marriage cert later, it proved it wasn't him.

Shelly have you finished your course work yet?

Mo, I've been at the shops again today - but I did come home in-between yesterday and today.

We didn't get snow today..........thank God, just rain.

Pauline this one is the archvist for devon /dorset/cornwall /somerset. she is also my cousin two in her family married male s in mine she has never got the names muddled but sometimes forgets one member of the family when she does the updates and then she finds another relation to her and myself and then deaths of babies we knew nothing about or a marriage. she gets people from abroad get intouch with her when they are looking for an ancestor in England she is a lovely women and we meet whenever I go to Devon. she is so helpful but even she could not find our young Absalom. she is always looking and hoping someone abroad will get intouch and say her grandfather was our Absalom..
she has helped me a lot.but somethings she is not able to do.or find.

Rita

Rita,there is someone on TTF,on page 4,looking for the name Absolom,
I know the spelling is different. But does the name Barbara Absolom ring any bells with you.
The original posting was from ages ago,but someone has added
today.

Thank you Mo I will take a look now I had a look but mine is Absalom Lee that is a different surname.
I notice there is someone else with my name Rita on that thread it s not me.

rita

pauline not finish cours work just yet but hopeing to very soon

Morning all hope you had a good nights sleep. ? it seems mild outside have not been out yet but need to take my perscription over the the dr to get renewed.
I have been sneezing and coughing all night and still are dont know where I have caught this from unless my sister have it too me.
Plan to do some research today if I get the chance.
talk later

Love Rita

Don't know what it's like down there Rita but it's very damp here and a bit chilly. Have a hot drink before you go out and another one when you get back, it'll keep the chill off you, you don't want to make that cough any worse.

Shelly, give us all one question each and we'll help you finish that course, hope you aren't thinking of doing another one when you've finished.

Mo, we've all had a go at trying to find Rita's Absalom Lee. We all came of with the same one, but it wasn't him. Rita's Absalom just disappeared off the face of the earth - a bit like some of my ancestors.

Morning all. Just about made it.

Been for that other blood test.................... had to wait an hour for the walkin clinic. So many people. This one is for Renal, liver, bones? and one called ACE.

Off to the hospital this afternoon. Apt at 3:15.

Did a little more knitting last night.

Keep safe

Linda :o) XxX

PS Bright and sunny here not too cold either
