Find Ancestors

Course she does Gins! Can't be that many 45 year olds in NZ can there? :-S



I think I need a lie down. I've only just got up but reading this thread has that sort of effect on me ;-)



Jonesey? :-D :-D :-D



Thank you for breakfast Sylvs, but I am so disappointed about the treacle tart :-(



Gins? Stop smoking and eat a proper diet and then you may not keep falling prey to these infections. I love being bossy :-P ;-) :-P


Persie? Do they make industrial size throat sprays then?

Fans as Snow White? Hahahahahahahahahaha hiccup.

There's only two characters left for her to portray.......the wicked stepmother or the handsome prince.......


........and she sure ain't got the legs for the handsome prince....

:-P :-P :-P

When ever I go over the pond and land in the US, I always get the locals asking if I know thier 2nd cousin who appens to live in London

The scary thing is.....they really think I might :-S

I tell them I pop and have tea with 'Liz' when I have time....I do wonder if they believe me!

Phew........looks like Cyns missed my earlier post

........and, I eat a very healthy diet thank you :-P

I am down in Wellington 24th to 29th Nov... so I will wander around the streets asking every woman who looks like the description Gins has given and ask them if by chance their name is Lorraine......

Of course I may not get to fly back home as my daughter will have by then put me in a secure wing of an asylum.

Pxx
:-S :-S :-S :-S

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Ive added to Sylv link that she posted earlier

Hope they have a sense of humour or Im done for!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

We will indeed R., and we do !! <3 <3 <3

Rest in Peace brave lads and lasses.

You gave your tomorrows for our today, a debt we can never repay.

<3<3<3<3


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- John McCrae.

I did see your comment Gins but decided to ignore it :-P



My avatar is of my grandfather who fought both in the Boxer Uprising and in WW1. The picture shows him at the age of 82 proudly wearing his campaign medals. <3 <3

Alright alright stop repeating yourself.....

Oooops sorry about that........all sorted.... :-D

I shed a little tear today observing the two minutes silence....thought about all the people who lost thier lives and those that will

And a special thought for my uncle <3

I reckon there will be a lot of tears shed on Sunday especially at many cenotaphs around the world.


Ten or so years ago, the numbers gathering round local cenotaphs seem to dwindle as many veterans had died. Now, what with the conflict in Afghanistan etc., it's affecting the younger generation and, whilst the crowds are getting larger, it's sad to think of why we are there.

Dea must be very worn out not to have appeared before now!


We've got a right pair with her and Fans......... :-D :-D

Talking about me in front of my face again huh????????

Cynths - You would not believe just HOW tired I am !!!

2 hours at the fair after school - £50 poorer and the children didn't go on that many rides!!!

They had a lovely time though so it was well worth it !!

Little grandson 'took orf' when he got his big balloon just as we were going home so had to be chased !! - You know what that means for me!!! :-D Luckily Grandad was there too but grand-daughter felt it her duty to give chase also so I had to try to keep up!!

Anyway - all home safe and well now but I, for one, am going to bed very soon! - The grandchildren will probably last a little longer ;-)

Hope Fans is faring a little better.

Mr H couldnt keep his eyes open past 6 30 m which means that he will be up at 5 am latest...Sigh

He only fell asleep because he asked "Man"about the air rifle in the magazine Man was reading and half an hour later of very detailed info on how it works/is cleaned/pulled apart and put back together and how NOT to use one except on target range he collapsed on sofa and said he needed his Raisins and drink now to go to bed.... :-D

So I have been doing a little light reading on here,but not much longer as my eyes were closing after all the detail too and dont seem to have recovered properly... :-(

Anyone watch Doc Martin where he was reading to his baby from a Med Mag?????
It was just like that here...Spect Mr H will soon learn not to ask or else be and expert on air guns and all motorised vehicles by Christmas...

Well Fans - I would like to listen to the Friday play on radio4 but it doesn't start until 9.00pm so I really don't think I can stay awake until then :-D

Going to get into my jimyjams and see how long I can last.

At least I get a break at the weekends!

Wishing you well,

Dea Xxx

We get 3 hours off on Sunday as Mummy and Daddy are coming to take a car Daddy bought last time he was here and they are taking him to the Park before they go home again,hopefully the VERY big one 12 miles away and not the one Quarter of a mile away .....Hurrah... :-D

Night all and sundry
