C'mon Foggy, don't be shy, we won't bite. :-D
Stephen is definitely gone a long time, perhaps he's found a deserted island and decided to stay :-P :-P :-P
Raining here again, I'm just about given up with summer. It's so dark and dismal outside even the dog doesn't want to go out.
Pauline you are right about my daughter being like Shellys son, in fact both my youngest girls were very accident prone when younger, I was always in A&E with one or the other having limbs set, stitches etc. Some of the things they got up to you wouldn't believe. My middle daughter (then aged 9) got run over by next door neighbours 6 year old who was riding about on a ride on lawnmower!!!! His mum said "oh it's ok we removed the blades for him". :-S :-S :-S Honestly, some people shouldn't have children.

Hi Agatha and Pauline,

Hope the weather has been fine for you, hasn't been too bad here although they forcast heavy rain tonight and tomorrow.

Stephen may have extended his holiday especially if he is having a good time.

Pauline, the old boy is 73 this year, so he is probably right...lol.

George :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hello folks.
I think our Stephen has taken himself off to the island of his dreams. He loves to go there when he wants a bit of peace and quiet.
I am sure he will be back soon, as he will have withdrawal symptoms, being away from our teasing. He loves it. ;-)

Pauline I am pleased you explained what stotting meant, it had me confused as well.

I think we have nearly all had the awful weather today. It's been tiddling it down nearly all dy today, and outside its as black as a cole hole, miserable.

Cath, I think this is a week for accident prone kids. My grandaughter, who is nearly 19, was redelivering a letter that had been put through their door by mistake, by the postman yesterday. She knocked on the neighbours door, and when it was opened their dog leapt up and bit my grandaughter on her leg.
My daughter has informed the police, and they are going round to take a statement from my grandaughter tonight.
Fortunately J has had her tetanus injection, but the dog broke the skin on her leg, and it's badly bruised.
I just thank god that J wasn't badly injured. But had that been a smaller child, the dogs mouth would have clamped right around it's leg, and lord only knows what damage it could have done.

No news yet on Jeniwren(Jean). <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
ooooooooooooooo((((((((((HUGS FOR JEAN)))))))))ooooooooooooooo

Right I am going to try and send this post now, as I lost the last one :-)

Hi MO,
were you called MO the granny.? saw your picture on facebook, I think, that is if it was you....lol

George :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hello everyone,
I'm back from the Gym. I cycled a mile, rowed 500 metres and walked 15 mins. on the treadmill. I hang on for dear life in case I fall off! :-S
Stephen had been gone nearly a month. He went off just after I booked my Scotland holiday and that was the beginning of August.
I've got a thing about dates. I've got an elephant memory although i forgot someone's birthday last week. I don't give Steve a card but I pride myself on remembering.
Jean hope you feel better soon. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You'll be entering the Olympics next Pat.
:-D

Ha Ha! Agatha! :-)

Hi George, no that's Mo the Rocking Granny, on F.B. But I am on there, with my happy smiley face on. lol ;-) so is Jeni Wren, but obviously not under that name.
Foggy knows what the other Mo looks like, as she was at the Victoria meet as well, and Foggy does take her to some other meets as well.

Pat, I had to laugh at your saying you had to hang on for dear life on the treadmill.You are at least brave enough to do it, more than I would be.

Oh.! thought it was you MO.....lol sorry.

George :-) :-)

No apology needed George. :-) :-)

Night Maddie, sleep well :-)
Mo, I hope your granddaughter will be ok. Must have been a bit of a shock for her.
Pat, don't overdo the gym. ;-) You will put the rest of us to shame.
Going to read for a while as I'm getting nowhere with my tree tonight and it's making me bad humoured :-0
Hope the weather improves for the long weekend.
<3 <3 <3

I thought the word was snotting when i first read it then put my reading glasses on saw what it was but din not understand this northen talk ROL many of my family come from Durham and I cannot understand them when we meet.

George tell Foogy not to be afarid we dont bite unless we are hungry. and we are really a silly lot on here we are all the same just like to have a good laugh and support each other.

Marilyn did you get a chance to read the Devon FHB ? I looked at the New members list and saw my Great Grandmohers name down and Hemyock. so I emailed the man and asked him what connection he had with the family ? if it was my side then I can go right back to 1666 from the Quakers I have the full tree someone gave it to me about 5 years ago she lives in Australia .I have wills as well as the Quakers lists of Births Deaths and Marriages.. he contacted me this evening but he has sent me some names and births so I am going to check through tomorrow. I have pages and pages to go through.
That piece about Rockbeare which is in the book is where one my Gt Gt Gt Grandmother was born and married. and there is also one there was only 513 people living in that village in 1850 on the next page it has one of my ancestors George Lee Smith and Vict New Inn thats in South Milton

Tomorrow I have the foot Doctor coming to do my toe nails,I will beable to get my Ballet shoes on,

Night

Rita

Hi Rita, that sounds great regarding possible links to your ancestors, luck you.

A lot of mine are from Ireland and I believe it can be a little harder with their records.

George :-) :-) :-)

morning everyone,
it's wet and horrible here. :-P
don't worry I won't overdo the gym.
i'm no fitness freak :-0
have a nice day everyone
<3

Morning All,

What a difference in the days ....its pouring down here just like Cath's area....... , a November day,I have had to put all the lights on !!

But according to the local forecast it will change by this afternoon.

Sorry about your grand daughter Mo....perhaps the Royal Mail should know about the post not being delivered to the correct address.

Agatha....Shelly & myself are terrified of SPIDERS .....and every year in September months we have at least 8-10 SPIDERS huge great ones that come in from the cold....my ones are so big they wear boots !!! :-S

Hi George...... :-D

Linda..you want to be careful you don't get dizzy painting cant have you off sick again . :-0


Rita I did have my DFHS booklet and haven't read it all yet !

Bath time......

morning everyone

It is bucketing down here as well this morning. I think they are going to do something about our car park as it is really bad no joking .

George It isnt that he can supply me with help on this one, as I have the Ackland Tree and he has only a few on that tree. most of his family come from London .

I look forward to my DFHS book Marilyn, I love to look at the photos and read the stories written by people doing their own family research.

I am waiting for my Willesden Family History book to come in as that has all the work my sister did on a write up of our Road where we were born right from the land being owned by a Lord and Lady, and how it came to be named also all about them.she managed to get the land records as well as phooto's of that family.many dressed in crinolin gowns.

have a good day everyone.

Rita

Morning from a sodden Berkshire
Well I'm glad I'm not at the Reading Festival !!!
Our daughter arrived at nearly midnight with her dog and we watched a film.
Off shopping for some clothes later, can't do much in the rain.

Be back later.

The painting isn't a problem Marilyn and on hold while daughter is here. Oh it's low fumes etc too so less harmful too

Linda :-) <3

Morning all, not a good one I must admit. Wet, dismal,dreary in other words a flamin awful day.
Of to Morr*so*s in a minute, to get the weeks shopping. It's o.k, we have been to see the bank manager, he's arranging another mortgage for us to do it. lol
