Well not a lot really

it seems the dutch/spanish couple from UK are supposedly coming back -- but no dates yet -- also someone flew out last week -- looking for house in these villages -- came last year as well -- but we have heard nothing -- since her brother emailed and said his sister was flying out on last Monday week -- so we are assuming she was not interested -- or saw another -- or hdecided to have holiday first -- really dont know

Rather hoping my bit of luck you got me Gins -- was the Tax refund and the cats re homed if so happy for that ----honestly getting the cats sorted will be a massive weight off us ----------

If need be -- we can come to UK without house being sold -- have enough money to get us back and all our bits we want -- and sort out a decent rental for 6 months -- and I do have an income from my pensions -- so not ideal but we can really manage

Been look at rental and have seen a beautiful converted coach house in the grounds of a country house -- but with own garden etc -- really like it -- 4 miles from sisters -- in a Norfolk village I have been too -- but it is all about timings

Still one foot at a time eh -- positive positive

That great news Renes.

Just had a thought about your house....What if you advertise in the area that you want to live for a house swap so live here rent free and vice versa.

There must be loads of people that would love to live in spain but do not want to comit

Just had our quarterly house inspection...kept her talking so she would'nt notice the cobwebs lol At least she thought the house smelt lovely not of stale smoke.

Oh thats great Jax


thing with that long term to do want to sell -- one of my sisters suggested a six month exchange thing -- but although we are leaving all -- apart from personal items -- for an exchange you have to leave TVs etc -- and Paul thinks its really neither one not t·other

I think he thinks he will leave his big 39 inch flat screen -- and get a 12 inch !!!

Lol

I have a 40" and when I go round my mums she has a 26" it looks like a portable...funny what you get used too. My mum loves her TV and I have often said she should get a bigger one...but she does not like them??

Well I hope something turns up soon for you Renes

Renes, change your ancestry setting to old search this is so much easier to use.

Press search on the site, and look down the righthandside of the screen underneath the bar which has home family tree etc.... and press old search.

Jax --have seen versions of those on FMP --- must say never say them on the new place

but why marry in Weymouth -- apart from the fact she is there --- is had to put a shilling it on -- I would go for the visiting boy -- but like the look ( age wise) of John Ernest G --- but why would he choose Ernest to get married -- instead of John

Weird -- given that I have winkled out all the common or garden names -- would have thought Ernest Povey would have been a doddle

Toots -- will try that -- thank you

Actually Fans,

I had found it and copied and pasted info into a reply - I then went back to read through the records - found his wife's name to confirm and came back to post the details, only to find my message still sitting there as I mustn't have clicked on the 'submit'.

I sent it and then noticed you had already posted the info so I deleted.!

Thanks for the recognition though!

Well all those nice people have replied to Dallys drivel on Ances&ry page but the "vile ones" on GR have ignored her so far.

They want to get rid of us so they can turn the GR page into another photo album. Its nice to see a very old photo every now and then but someones auntie Mavis in blackpool taken 1961 is not so interesting in my book
