This Eulogy is really good Sharron, well worth a read for anyone who followed Fred's antics. <3 <3

Hi Sharron,
I too miss hearing about Fred and love a copy of your eulogy please.

I would Sharron. Sorry I missed your earlier offer

I did offer it before but I think it was missed.

Would anybody like a copy of my eulogy?

Oh what little B****rs :-D :-D :-D. I too miss Fred's antics but I expect he's giving those Angels some laughs <3

I have just re-joined ( I left around the time Fred got his medal) and am sorry to see Fred is no longer with us.
I too used to enjoy your stories about him.

Best wishes Mayfield

:-D :-D I miss Fred's stories <3 <3

Emma :-)

haha......... his brother........... Ted?



:-D

You don't think he told me this one do you?

I wonder what they got up to that Fred wouldn't tell you about

:-D

Well, I don't regret those seven years.

What a wonderful story, Sharron! Sounds like he never grew out of it. Don't think I've spoken to you before but just wanted to say how I enjoyed the stories of Fred's antics and how I respected the way you handled everything, allowing Fred his freedom. It must have been hard for you but I think you did an admirable job.

Hi Sharron
I do miss reading about Freds antics so thank you for making me smile when reading about one of his early ones. I can only imagine how frightened Nan was when she thought one of them had fallen from the window. Hope you are well. xx :-D

Since there will be no new Fred antics to tell you about I thought you might like to hear of one of his very early ones.

Fred was one year, one month and one week older than his brother Bill. As boys they were usually together and usually fighting. Fred had a scar on his bum where Bill threw a screwdriver at him!

The cottage they, and I, grew up in had upstairs windows that were directly above the downstairs windows and Nan would wash up in a bowl on the table a little to the right of the kitchen window.

One day when her little cherubs were playing upstairs she heard a scream and saw something that looked like one of them falling from the upstairs window.

Of course the little varmints had put shirt, jacket and trousers together and dropped them from the window because they thought it was funny.

Isn't it usual to grow out of it though?!
