General Chat

Yes , I enjoy it and find it fascinating. What I may have thrown out over the yrs?!! ??

Do you or OH play golf ?

No - golf has never taken our fancy.

Have you ever tried doing any of the martial arts?

Know what you mean about possibly throwing things out. I'm a terrible hoarder now so my boys might find a few gems in years to come!

No, nearest thing I got to that sort of thing was cartwheels in Gym at school.
Loved hockey tho.

Did you ever play in a team game for your school or for your county (or country even.. lol don't know who I may be talking to here !!)..?

No team games for my school but did take part in several tae kwondo tournaments about four years ago - got a gold medal for my patterns!!!

What do you do to stay fit - if anything!

Walking our dog and climbing up two flights of steep stairs every working day,the office where I work is in an old mansion house and we are in what was the servants' quarters.

Do you have any family pets?

Down to one cat and a rather large Newfoundland dog now but used to have more cats and an aviary outside.

Do you watch any of the soaps?

Yes Emmerdale and Corrie.

Have you been waiting for the 1911 census ?

I knew were most of my rellies were at that time, it's the older one's I'm interested in.

Yes, been waiting to try and find my gt grandma and her family - couldn't find her at all prior to her marriage in 1902! Found all sorts of interesting information - like they said they had been married 13 years when I KNOW they had only been married 9. It also stated that she'd had 7 children at that point only 6 of which were still alive - been through BMD and think I've found the missing baby. Plus it said she was born in Kensington - think now she must have been registered as Maria and not Charlotte. With that info I think I've now found the rest of her family. Exciting - I nearly wet myself!!

Have you found anything interesting from the 1911?

No see my previous post. I have found the site to view . And where most of my rellies lived is not yet on line.

Do you have any weddings or births in the family this year ?

No..

Do you have a Sat Nav?

Yes

Is it very windy were you are?

Not too bad as we live in the Thames Valley,

Does your area normally have heavy snowfalls?

Haven't had any decent snow here for about three years or so.

Do you live in a town or village?

in a town

was you born at home or in hospital

In a hospital - breech birth evidently.

What was the last novel you read?

"The Dilemma" by Penny Vincenzi

[I was a breech birth as well]

Who is your favourite author ?

too many name but Charles Dickens is up there.

have you been following Master Chef?

Not really - I've caught a few bits.

Which celebrity chef's restaurant would you like to eat in? - if you could afford it, of course.....
(For me it would be Atul Kochar's - love Indian food!)

Would give one of Gordon Ramsey's a try, to see if his language is at bad as is supposed to be ,,lol .The food is supposed to be good !

Have you suffered any hardship because of the recent bad snow ..?
