Good Afternoon Island, Belle, Von, Fly and Everyone yet to arrive
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

It was a bright but cold day here yesterday. I had just got in from my food shop late yesterday afternoon, when the rain started. Great timing! :-D
It's been heavy rain and strong wind, here, overnight and this morning. But it seems to have calmed down now. But dull and damp.

I think I posted that I have been working down my DNA matches. Well, I have discovered a descendant of my Pembrokeshire family who emigrated to America, was Miss Utah, Miss USA and then Miss Universe in 1960. Her name was LINDA JEANNE BEMENT and she married Hall of Fame Jockey Manuel De Ycaza II.

There's quite a bit on line include videos.
Linda was my 5th Cousin 1ce Removed :-D :-D :-D
So, obvs, the Genes are quite far removed, sadly :-D :-D :-D

I got a free bunch of roses this morning when I called into our local shop. There was a trolley next to the check-out with two bunches in and the lady behind the counter told me to pick a bunch as they were past their sell-by date. They really perked up when I put them in a vase of water with the plant food from the sachet.

I thought that was a lovely gesture. <3
