Thats sounds right Mandy age wise.But no Marriages??I think that birth is probably him.It is something that has bugged me for many years.I think he was a bit of a scallywag but he was my favourite Uncle.I know Aunty Betty married a man called Hosken in about 1970/72.Would it say if she was a spinster or widow? She married in Plymouth.

You sure it was 1970 ,there's this marriage 1958 ?

Nope not Betty.She had no middle name,and she was with Uncle Jan then.She definitely married in Plymouth to (wish I could think of his first name)Hosken.Maybe 69?

There's this marriage in Headington Oxford !, if its him he was only 17 when he married .

BBQ over and returned to the shed as the temperature here is going to drop about 10 degrees in next 24 hours.
Frank You are so lucky being so close to the circuit. Bet you can almost hear the cars on race days and all those helicopters flying over.
Jane Yes hubby and I were trying out the simulator at our local glider club with a view to having a go in the real thing but I never made it off the ground although the simulator was a wonderful experience.
I have always thought that flying a plane must be wonderful but way beyond my capabilies so a glider was the next best thing. Problem being that you lie almost flat with very limited space and no room to manouvere(?). A single seater race car is very similar so I have to settle for the tele coverage
Family have had their first outing together to a BBQ at a neighbours house. Also been to see the midwife today and everything good.

Hi all,
What a scorcher today has been , we all went over Irchester country park, such a nice day ,
Fiona, have you put something on your burn , because it may rub , being on the inside of arm.

7.41pm

Could your Harry be a Harold ????Jane.

Cheese sauce with cauliflower, you should try it , it's very nice. I bet you eat Cauilflower cheese, don't you. What's the difference ???? Ros, won't eat cauli, without it. So I always make it.

When at the Rover dealaship we had a racing car on the forecourt from Silverstone, I couldn't get in it, and I am quite slim.

Anne ,I would find that too claustrophobic .Being in that confined space.I can feel my heart rate going up now just thinking about it lol
Good that all is going well on the Baby front and Mum too.

Thanks Mandy for looking up Uncle Jan.I think it could be him married at 17..
I don't think he was ever divorced when he got with my Aunty Betty.But she always had her name as Janaway.

Hi All

I am ok folks my burn never blistered and it's only left a red line where the iron touched, Margaret I sprayed a burn spray on it but I'm glad it's been a warm day as I am avoiding long sleeves in case I rub my arm

Well I went and did a quick shopping for linen trousers today because of the warm weather and OH says it's back to the rain all next week again, oh well they are hanging in the wardrobe for the next sunny day. might as well be prepared.

Glad your family and the new baby are all doing well Anne.

Frank ,I never thought of Harry being a Harold,but his name on death register is Harry.I was told he was an Orphan,and the name Janaway came from the time he was found (January)I'm not sure I believe that ,But who knows ?

Mags I have never been to Irchester Country Park.But Hannah has ,and says it is lovely.I don't know why I have never been there ,when you think it is just down the road (so to speak).

I have decided to go and watch "Waking the dead" in the spare bed.I just hope I stay awake lol

Hope everyone had a nice day.

Morning Jane and All,

It has rained in the night here and it is dull today and a mist has just come up over the trees at the top of the garden.

Cleaned the chickens out yesterday and did'nt go up the border at all as my toe had locked up and I could hardly walk.

Jane was his name Gordon

Morning Jane . Morning Mel

Its been raining here most of the night and this morning, sun keeps popping in and out and there it's gone again, and it's quite chilly too.
Need to go into town to post a Easter card to Italy and a few jobs to do in the bank, meeting daughter no 2 for coffee after her 1/2 hours work out at a local fitness class ,she's trying to get me to go ,It's her first week so I'll wait and see what she thinks about before I make my mind up.

hope your toe is ok Mel awkward not being able to get around easily.

Do you mean Uncle Jan was called Harry Gordon Janaway ,or Gordon Harry Janaway Mel?Where did you see the name Gordon? I have only come across Harry.

Morning everyone,

Not quite so warm today,but we've still got lovely sunshine .

You were an early bird then Jane , i woke at 1 ,then 2 then i nodded off again till 5 ,just kept waking up because i was hot .

I've just been talking to one of the elderly residents in the complex next door and he was telling me that they've had some rogues round pinching the Copper Gas pipes off the outside walls !! early in the morning and in broad day light on a Sunday afternoon !!!
one of the ladies up there pulled her cord and got through to the control room they got the police out but by then they had long gone ,she said they were wearing masks ,i suppose because of the gas !!!
When i had a look i could see a gas pipe that had been cut off on the front of the building !!

Morning Bunnies,

Spring in the air, We have bunnies and chick everywhere. Will get a photo later in week when they are ready to fly the coup !!!!

Had a smashing day with Harvey and Julia, Lewis didn't stay last night, as he is going to see FLAWLESS. the group who were on one of the t.v. talant shows. So will meet Harvey Tues morning and get him then.

we sat for three hours watching the MASTERS. Lead kept changing and the poor Irish Lad had a couple of terrible holes a blew his lead. and dropped right down the leader board.

Mel, We have a much fresher day here,but clear blue skys with a slight breeze.

What will Chris do now you have put all that hair around the garden, go shooting in someone elses garden, or over the fields ???? Trust you to spoil his FUN before it gets started. !!!!

Trust you all have a good day, I will be pottering around in my shorts doing little jobs,
