Perhaps we should give a thought to some French Beaches today .

Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

All in Normandy and very important on 6th June 1944.

The survivors of that day will be old.....the rest will stay forever young.

I have a particular memory for Bill Millin, the Commando Scots Piper who
played whilst marching up and down Sword Beach inspiring the Commando Troop onwards. Wearing his Kilt and blowing like blazes he wondered why he wasn't killed. Afterwards some German Soldiers said they had admired his bravery and didn't aim for him.....thay also thought he was mad.
Bill Millin died last year, August 2010 in Devon age 88

Remember them today.

Well at last. Good Morning.

I have been trying to get on here for about 90minutes. What is happening, some importance work on the site apparently. :-D

Very wet and windy, the weather, not me. ;-)

Hello Barbara. How do you do. I am the polite one. ;-)

The trouble with family trees is that we start them too late to ask the remaining members of the family. I have had half-truths and fairy stories, so that took a time to sort out before the very ordinary came to light. :-)

See ya all later.

I just like do this :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hope everyone is well and warm this morning.

Morning all , well good morning if you like the rain,? it has rained all night long,not stopped the car park is flooded, should be boats out there at the moment not the cars.
It is still raining heavy.

Hello Barbara I have spoken to you many times on the threads..It is a laugh on here as we are all children at heart.many will think we are nutty as fruit cakes.

It is funny when we look back and think what we are now researching we had at our hands we only had to ask questions and would have saved us a lot of research.

I received the email from Pauline Stephen I will take alook later and see if I can find anything.for you.

back later

Morning everyone
I have had probs with my internet connection. Recon it was flooded , we had about an inch of rain through yesterday, it's still raining this morning.

Stephen I had a quick look for your lady, but cannot trace her even looked for a new marriage. I'll look again later. Hopefully one of us might find something. Has anyone got 192 or electoral lists to see when she was last found other than the marriage in 1972 and her husbands death in 1979(I think)

Remembering D Day today I still have my Father in Law who is a veteran he will be 88 this year and landed on Gold beach near Arromanches. My husbands Uncle was 91 in March and he landed on Juno with the Canadians making his way to Pegasus Bridge and then to Merville. We have taken them both back to "The Beaches" about 8 times over the last 10 years. Neither had returned until we took them.
We owe them all so much.

Have a good day all and welcome Barbra

I am keeping steady, whilst taking the pills. See how I get on when they run out !!!

Morning all.

Hopefully, Linda, by the time you run out of tablets - the infection will have gone.

Stephen, I haven't had time to look yet but I'll try later. By the way, if it's a cyber diet and a cyber gym............ I'm in!!

I read through the posts but now I can't remember what anybody said....... it's an age thing!

Hi Barbara, welcome to the thread........ pop in any time.

Hi all....

Shelly you would have been called a red lobster in DEVON not a tomato !!!!

Stevey ....have you got the marriage cert of Joseph & Elizabeth ?

I fear Elizabeth probably had a marriage before looking at Joseph age .

Joseph Hunter Barr b 1923 Honiton Devon MMN ORCHARD.
Joseph Hunter Died 1979 Westminster London.

Now Elizabeth could well have been a spinster......

I'll look further later...

Hi Folks !! a lovely day today sun is shinning bright & warm.

Marilyn what happened no electric blanket.?and you threw your Duvet off. I cannot beleive that ?

I hope the weather improves for next week I will be in Norfolk then and want some good weather. I can hardly wait. send your weather there please Marilyn.????????

All these cooked breakfasts coming on here, I wonder how many of you can hold your hands up and say you eat a cooked breakfast everyday of the week. or at least the weekends. ?

I dont, I use to eat a cooked breakfast years ago when my husband was alive. but I never feel like breakifast in the morning. I should really eat a breakfast because of the amount of tablets I take but I usually have a slice of toast or two plain biscuits now and again I have a boiled egg. but that it.

I have just finished my washing two machine loads and it is all dried (due to the commercial dryer ) and I feel pleased it is all done.

be back later

Hi everyone.
Welcome to the madhouse Barbra, as you will see as we go along, we do some nutty things at times.
Stephen is the nuttiest of us all, followed by Marilyn, the rest of us are quite sane, ( at times lol )
I am sure you will enjoy the company on here.

SHELLYYYY, it's so good to see you, I thought you were still enjoying the baby's christening.
Whats happened to our bit of that HUGE cake.
You all love Hastings and Brighton don't you.
I hope you weren't sunbathing on the nudist beach down there.
Is little legs at nursery now.?

Rita can I send my washing down the cyber hatch for you to do for me.
Like up your way, it's still chucking it down with rain here, so no chance of getting it out on the line to dry.

Linda, do you have to go back and see your doctor, re the labrynthitus (sp)
or does he think the tablets will clear it up straight away.
It's good to hear that you are coping with it though love, even though it may be tough at times.

Marilyn, I am gob smacked, you actually threw your duvet off the bed last night. My god thats a first, you are normally such a chilly mortal. No wonder Pete takes you abroad to hot places so often. lol

Hi Pauline, hows your Brent doing lately. Have you had any more problems with his wheelchair, I do hope not, as he definately can't really be without it can he.

Cups of tea and coffee and hot chocolate for everyone, it's turned rather chilly, so enjoy.
