Linda, the break sounds nice. I hope that the weather clears for you as I doubt that it would be much fun driving in severe weather conditions. |

Sue, thinking of our ancestors, I have always thought that though their lives were hard by today's standards were they more content? |

Good evening/morning everyone. I've taken ages just reading the last couple of pages on here. Everything is 'jumpy' to-day on my computer. |

We aren't going far, just next to Beamish museum which Sue might have heard of. We normally do two nights and go look at things in the area, but it is too cold for that,so we are just having a token one night. |

I sometimes stop to think that I am blithely entering deaths of all those little children on my tree, without stopping to think of the heartache those mothers must have felt I know that it was normal to loose lot's of children, but they must have been devastated surely. |

I too hope the weather clears up for you Linda - I have only ever driven in snow once and we had chains on. I would probably need the champagne or a suitable hot toddy after that. |

Linda - when I was about 10, we visited my dad's old auntie, who was proudly talking about all of her children. I remember asking how many children she had. To answer me, she drew herself up in a very proud way and said "I reared seven children. I had fourteen, but I reared seven!". She was so proud of the fact that she had reared seven out of fourteen!! That scene has stayed with me ever since! I was only a child, but I was horrified at her answer! |

Linda - even if you live in paradise you need to see other places just to compare. We've been to Beamish and sat in the park listening to a brass band playing in the band stand. It was a lovely sunny day and we spent a whole day there with OH's brother and his wife. OH's brother has a yearly pass or membership as they go quite regularly. |

I think you should renew your passport Allan - leave it to late here in NZ and it can cause all sorts of conundrums. A friend of mine had to go back to UK when her grandfather died - and she found her passport had expired and it arrived at work post haste courier the day before she left. She was hopeless all morning at work in a panic and she is one that laughs off everything and always sees the funny side of life. |

That's funny Persey - little ones can get us into such trouble:-)) I took our grandson home yesterday afternoon and met his father at the door as he had the twins for a couple of hours. When the 3 yo saw me he ran up for a cuddle and said to his dad "go away daddy I want to see grandma now - I love grandma". I have no time for my ex son in law but I did feel a little sorry for him. |
