LOL Rita,

I didn't have the surprise gifts......Pete could never do that , as I always wanted to choose ...LOL

Rita, those last few posts got me all tearful, how lucky you were to be cherished and loved so much and what a shame your husband died so young - you should still be pottering round together, bless you. You certainly made a good choice when you chose him for a hubby.

Marilyn, I spent some time in Looe, well Pelynt, do you know it? I have been trying to find out what happened to my Dad's old mate, when I visited he was living in a caravan on a farm and helping out, but I think he went back to live with his sisters in Nottingham or Northampton. Lost touch with him before my Mum died. I was in touch with the landlord of the Jubilee Inn at Pelynt who was going to put up a photo of Maurice (Cook) but I didn't get round to getting back to him.

I love Cornwall, haven't been since 1998 but would love to go back again.

Must dash, o.h. up in a mo so I have to get off here and go to bed

Have a good weekend everyone.

Lizxxx

Morning all, I've just been sorting my emails out because I didn't get the chance to do it yesterday. My sister's had another operation, she's in a lot of pain, she's had a bad couple of days.

It's really sunny here but I've been outside and it's freezing.

Rita, your husband must have searched around to find a card like that, it's a lovely keepsake. You'll never lose those lovely memories of him.

Pauline
I am sorry to hear about your sister I really feel for what she is going through. my thoughts are with her

Bless
Love Rita

Morning all this is the second time I have started to type this because for some reason it vanishes and I have to start a again.

I met my husband Liz in 1949 we married in 1951 and we were very close he use to surprise me with fowers or chocolates or perfume he was so thoughtul whether it was because he came from a large family I have no idea.? everytime he went to play Golf on a sunday morning or to the Clay Pigeon shotting range or fishing he always brought me flowers. my son who went with him said it was embarasing at times
He would cook sunday dinner if I would let him he didnt mind anything like that even washing if I was ill but Ironing he was not keen on. so I count myself very lucky but I have been a widow now for 21 years and it is like a dream even now I wake and think it was a dream he died. but that is life full of ups and downs.
Liz I have never heard of the place you speak in Cornwall I know parts of Looe but mostly Polperro and Cambourne that was where my Step mother and father in Law lived from 1966 till he died in 1971 he was such a nice man.

well I think I will finish the washing up and go out for a walk while the sun is out.

see you all later.
Rita

Morning All,

Liz,
Yes I do know Pelynt its only a couple of miles from Looe and has a very old Church , very tiny village, but have not been there for ages.
Rita ,I'm surprise you have never heard of it ,knowing that you know Looe.!
Might go next week and have a look at all my old haunts while I'm in Cornwall.

Pauline,
How sad .......your lovely sister has gone through so much,amazing how much one can take in this bloody illness that she has to endure.
I often think about her, and will say more prayers for her.

Its lovely and sunny today, yesterday it never stopped raining what a contrast .

Linda you must be up ,I bet you cant sleep now its getting nearer.LOL

Been lazy this morning just got up !!
So now I'm off for my bath.

Where's Mo & Shelly ? haven't seen Yvonne for a while hope she's OK.

Hi Marilyn no I dont know Looe that well I have been there a few times when I stayed at Mother in Laws and when I stayed with Aunty in Polperro. I know some places quiet well (well did unless they have altered it ) my step mother in law (came from scotland in berive ) and my Father in Law lived in Cambourne Cornwall and we used to go there for ten days twice a year, My Mother in law worked as a nurse in a home for children who had cripplling complains she used to look after Bob Monkhouses son I think he was named Raymond ..
we use to go out and about a lot , from my bedroom window I could see for miles around we went to Lands End a lot as well as St Michaels Mount.
Perranproth, Truro, Falmouth (we were there when the oil tanker spilled all that oil and it came onto the beach my coat got ruined when that happened.we brought a rubber dingy from Newquay as we had a cabin cruiser on the thames and wanted one for that.
we also went to Lizard Point and Bodmin Moor my in laws lived near Redruth. but I am going back to 1971 now.
I recently sent off some 8 mm moives to be put onto DVD I had no idea what was on them but found them in a box belonging to my husband he didnt label them there were 16 in all. I sent off 8 and got the DVD back last Wednesday and there are some of my children on the beach and surfing in the sea at Perranport there is also one of Mother in Law and Father in Law walking down their garden path going to the Garage to get there little car out. the others where when we went camping another was of us in and about the house so I am going to send the others off in a couple of weeks time

Rita

Hi all.
Pauline I am so sorry to hear off your sisters setback. My thoughts and prayers for all the family.
Rita,it's nice to know that romance doesn't end,after the wedding day.
Your beloved husband sounds like he was a very loving,sensitive man,who thought the world off you. And he has left you so many lovely memories.
It's strange,I was only thinking yesterday,wondering if you had got the DVD'S back.
They must also bring back wonderful memories,off when you were all a happy family unit.

The reason for my being late Marilyn,is that we went to see our two grandchildren,at our sons house. He only has them every other weekend.
And we had not seen them for a few weeks.
Am I forgiven for being late PLEASE. I will stay later this evening to make up for it,honest I will. LOL.
Ohhh are you leaving us again Marilyn,another week without you,what are we to do. Boo Hoo

Helloooo is anyone around.
I promised to stay here longer tonight,and here I am all alone, no one to talk to.
It's boring talking to myself. Trraaa laa laa, diddly dum dum,and I cant hum or sing.
Oh well I will go for a wander round the boards. See ya later folks.

Just popped in to see if anyone was here & adding.

Hubby is plating up our dinner so will be back later.

Enjoy your evening ladies

Linda :o) XxX

Where Is Everybody !???
I've just finished ironing the lounge curtains which I washed this morning. Luckily they dried and are now hanging nicely at the windows, giving us our privacy again.
What to do tomorrow? Not sure yet might need to wait and see if the weather is good some gardening.
Hubby at work on earlies................ might not be any flights if the ash is back though.
Rather tired so early night tonight. Home around midnight last night it's too late for me.

Catch you tomorrow

Linda :o) XxX

Hi all, just added a piece on Just Jean's thread, so updates there.

love to all

Lizx

Morning all
Lovely sunshine here again thsi morning.
So out in the garden I guess.

Hubby gone to work, not sure how much will be happening if the ash comes down again.

Getting worried for my cousin coming from Canada on 1st June and for the newley weds for their honeymoon on 7th June as they are flying to Miami. Both could be affected by the ash or the cabin crew strikes !!!!

Have a good day

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone.

We have sunshine as well Linda, but there's a few black clouds heading this way. I've got the towels in the washer so I hope those clouds pass us by.

I think the winds are coming from the south west this week so the ash will be blowing away from us for a while.

Thank you everybody for your kind thoughts for my sister.

Guess what Pauline by the time I was ready to go outside it was raining. !!
So I think it is claering up indoors I must get off the computer or I will be here all day.

Had a small breakthrough on my maternal line so it kicked me back onto researching again.

Hope the sun shines on you all.

Still sending thoughts to your sister Pauline and for you too.

Linda :o) XxX
