Yvonne,

I am in the process of establishing contact for the first time with a second cousin in North Carolina.

She owns and operates a Stables. She is also a very keen competitor having travelled all over the world to competitions.

I'll keep you posted on the 'Horse' front. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi Marilyn

yes I had seen that one but I'm not sure if it's the one I want, all the Hayes family were from Hollingbourne/Leeds, married there and died there untill early 1900. I've made a note of it, the only way to know is to send for the cert, thanks anyway

Stephen your new contact sounds exciting, good luck

night night

Morning all Shelley we use to get a fancy card ( like a big birthday card )on it was usually flowers or a pattern around the edges and a small cross then the names of the child the date and time of the christening .and who christened the child. I still have mine which I treasure that is from 1931 I have them for my three children.
everything has to be a print out from a computer these days dont they know how to write in Italic details of that christening.?

Also everyone today is the offical Tobbaco day 31st May when no one should smoke..

The sun is out but I understand not for long here.

have a good day
Rita.

Morning Cath and all others
Shelly can you ask the vicar/priest for a better copy for your grandson, tell him that you also keep all that sort of info as you are really interested in genealogy.

Well I've been out for a walk with the dog already. Bright but quite fresh. I think the gardens will have benefitted from the steady rain we had through the evening and night. Glad I managed a bit of clearing yesterday afternoon.

Had a meal at friends last night. The husband is the one who had the encephalitus(sp). He is still suffering from tiredness and memory loss. But the biggest thing is he has had to say that he cannot drive, possibly for a year as it is thought he had a seizure whilst in hospital. He is angry as he doesn't remember this, well he wouldn't would he. He now blames his wife, but she will have to drive him everywhere. !!

Stephen thanks for the praise for the Berkshire Youth Orchestra, my daughter belonged to it when she was at school, 14 years ago. I am trying to contact my brother as I think my nephew and neice are also members. But I hadn't heard they were away, maybe because they are away?? LOL I went and heard my nephew at Easter in his own schools band, delayed Christmas concert because of the snow. We forget how badly that affected us so short a time ago.

Well cleaning today doggies produce so much hair !!! He goes home tonight, but I need to do it before they come.

I am out tonight for a meal for a friends birthday, but I am trying to watch what I eat Shelly(LOL it just keeps jumping into my mouth though !!!)

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX :-) <3

Hi all, just popping in to say good afternoon.

I seem to have loads to do but I'm getting nowhere fast.

Got to get my hair washed now and do my roots. I'm going shopping with my friend tomorrow, she's a hairdresser so she'll notice if my grey roots are showing.

Be back later.

Pauline
Don't let it worry you, ask your friend to come back to yours and help you out !!!

It was nice early here went for a walk round the lake with my son's cocker spaniel.
But then we had a sudden down pour which turned into hail, quite unexpected.

Now the sun is back out, but as I have just put some curtains in the wash not sure how long it will stay out !!

Have cleared the bedroom Mo, so might start stripping the wallpaper off the walls, maybe?

Need to do some more in the garden, but the rain is doing more good than I can. Must water the pots in the front porch though.

Be back later

Linda :-) <3

Evening everyone,
It was back to work for me today.
Two people retired today. I'll be doing some of Judith's work what she does.
I think she's looking forward to her retirement. We got her a rose calles Retirement rose and a voucher.
That's interesting Stephen getting in contact with a second cousin.

Hello Everyone, its better weather today, the weather man said the temperature will keep rising.
Took Oscar to the vet, he has a viral infection and is on antibiotics, he trembled in the surgery, he was so scared, better now he is home, the vet said to stop him running too much, but once he is out in the garden I cannot stop him.
I was reading what Pauline wrote about grey roots, does your hair go grey from the roots first, because I think i am just getting my first grey hairs, I can see sparkly bits.
Have a good rest of the day everyone.
