Evening all,
been quite a nice day with the odd shower thrown in.
Planted some baby sweetcorn and garlic and tidied up daffs. Went for a mooch at the garden centre and bought a lovely plant, looks like a thistle and is quite prickly too (Cirsium Atropurpureum), I think its beautiful and OH hates it!!
Stephen I have to say you live in a lovely place. Scenery is breathtaking.

Marilyn I forgot which part they are going to I thought she said Brixham then I thought she said Bideford,. which is north isnt it. ?
Brixham I went to for the day last year a little harbour I think it was Bideford. as she said youve been there and I have been to both.

Hi Pat,
it has turned a bit chilly. Had to put a sweatshirt on earlier to walk the dog.
Wind has dropped now so not too bad.

Cath and Pat I just wondered what had happened as some of the regulars seem to have gone I wondered why perhaps they are on F/B
I added to the thread and didnt get any response so I just butted in now and again Lol.
Pat I found a thread on the GR site which said that Devon Records Office Sowton Exeter have extended there Free access to FMP and 1911 census till March next year 2012. I wondered where abouts that was the actual offices.

Good evening everyone.
Thats right Rita, go get em girl. Perhaps they wont allow the electric cooker, is it because of the safety aspect of it.
As I have mentioned before, my mum had electric, and nearly caught the whole place alight, thinking she had turned the rings of and hadn't, but had past stop and gone onto full heat again.
Is here any written regulations against your having it, if not then stand your ground.

Cath I am loving your little Witchy Poo, she is soooo cute.
I am hoping that my Fairy is not causing me security problems, as Mc Afee
have sent me a virus warning, and I am doing a check on it now.

I will be back soon, just going to have a look whats occuring.

Now I am not saying I am old, BUT didn't they used to use something called Bitter Aloes(sp) to stop children from biting their nails.
I always bit my nails as a child, but stopped many years ago. I think it was nerves in my case though, I got braver the older I got.

Ahhhh Stephen, I am sure Mrs. S. still looks at you in the same old loving way, she always has done.
Just coz theres snow on the roof, doesn't mean the fires gone out.
