Agatha,

Sorry your weekend was a wash out for you. It spoils everything.

In more than 50 years of camping the only time we were washed out was on the South Coast at a place called Dawlish. And that was in July. It was a nightmare. The water was gushing up through the ground like fountains

Rita.....What a co-incidence eh ! Perhaps your Ancestors had sent out a message.. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Time for a coffee and a relax now.

Catch you later..

Rita,I like Cockington Court. I like the rose garden best. The smell of the roses is heavenly.

Just had an email from one of my cousins from the Scottish side of the family. she was telling me she is off on holiday in July and going to Torbay she said we are going to a thatched villiage named Cockington and she is so looking forward to that., they are going to the Manor house and a tour ot the museum and gorunds.

She was shocked when I told her that once belong to my ancestors on my father side of the family my 5 times great Grandmothers family. Susannah Mallack I said I have a copy of the will so can prove all I have said. she is looking forward even more now. she said she has never been to a place where someone in the familys ancestors lived,

why do people do it ?

The phone rings I pick it up to answer and sayHello they dont say sorry I have the wrong number they just bang the phone down.
to me that is terriblly rude.

I got an email from GR to tell me I had some super Hot Matches.I did . one of them had every name on my tree that is on GR site. I scrolled down and down and still the names came up mine included and those from the States.698 names.Thats what you call a super hot match. nothing to do with them at all just one member of their family is on my tree.and that is through a marriage.

Rita

Hello everyone, I'm back from the caravan, it was a bit of a washout, it rained and was very windy on the beach, and Oscar has a cough, so its off to the vet tomorrow, I always worry incase they keep him in, but he shouldn't have to stay in for that.
Hope everyones OK, I'll read what I have missed later and catch up.

that's good news Rita! :D :D :D :D :D :D
just going to make myself a bacon sarnie!

Big Smiles for Rita,

That's good news for once.

Bet Mike is chuffed to bits eh !

Just had a phone call from MIke he is out of hospital it appears he was the only one left in the ward with four beds and the consultant came to see him, and said" I suppose you want to go home as well" ? Mike said "I would like that". they took a blood sample and said he must go on Tuesday morning for aother test he is lacking something in his blood now not sure what it is now. ? if the blood test is OK then he will not have to go back in. if not he goes in again. so fingers crossed he stays home. he said all I want is to beable to get back to my job.

Dont quite know what to do today....I did soo much house work yesterday that I want to go for a walk , but its on hold until later today when they say it might clear up a bit.

My grandson is camping out tonight in a farmers field ......with 17 others !! ( Mixed)
I bet he learns a lot ..LOL

Hope the farmer don't go on holiday

:S

Cath good luck with the blinds. Can I join you for lunch sounds really tasty.

Linda :-) <3

I have also had to sign in for the last couple of days :S.
Must be gremlins about :-(
Off to shop for some new blinds, then going to pop to the French market to grab some crusty bread, cherry tomatoes, olives and nice cheese for lunch. Mmmmm :D


Sorry Rita we must have posted at the same time, I'm a bit slow, lol.
I didn't expect to find him where others have failed but was fed up looking for my invisible lot and love a challenge :D

Cath you will never find him so I would not expect you to spend time looking for him. because he had the same name as his father who was also Absalom Lee people give me back his data on him.this one was my Great Grandfather but it is his son I am unable to find after 1881 when he appeared in the 1881 census aged 10 working on a farm as a servant his father was also working on that farm as a Farm labourer. I wrote to the farm asking if they could give me any information in their past books but they did'nt answer. the one I am looking was born in June/July 1871 in Southleigh Devonshire and the birth was registered at Hontion.his mother was Elzia Ackland and father Absalom Lee.(this one born in 1828)

Stephen that John McCallum could be one of ours lol we have John as a family name. I have a John McCallum the first on my list who married a Janet Clark he must have been born about 1725 I have not been able to get any information on him and his wife. except their children Mary.Katherine, Donald.Hugh,Jean.John,Janet and Duncan and James who were born 1793 till1778 James is my Great Great Great Grandfathers father and he married a Janet McCallum once again her family also McCallum.s has a John in the family that side go back to a marriage between Peter McCallum and Katherine Campbell in Kenmore
I went as far back as I could on that side. 1716.

Isnt it exciting.

Rita
