Aww thats lovely Fly :-D <3 <3

It's nice he's getting visitors, Fly :-)

Your friend's Mum sounds great.

My Grandmother (my Mum's Mum) rode a bicycle until she was 83. She would cycle about 30 miles round trip to visit my Mum and do her shopping.

How is Dad today? <3

Dad is not too bad Jem thanks <3

My friends mum even uses an ipad ;-)

That's good Fly :-) <3

I had a lovely day yesterday. I went home to my village, all on my own- HEAVEN.

I had a picnic on the beach, and then a long walk, past my old house and up my favourite road, high up overlooking my village and the estuary to the village across the sea. I took loads of photos :-)

I caught the sun a bit too! :-)

Lovely Jem to get away on your own :-D is it far from where you live now :-D

Hya Jem :-D :-D <3 <3

It's lovely to revisit the places where your ancestors came from :-) :-)

Until I started to research my ancestors on Ancestry I had no idea at all that many of them came from East Anglia. Now I've discovered I have many distant cousins living in nearby villages - spooky or what! :-0 :-D ;-)

According to Google maps it's 15.2 miles :-D

I shall send you some photos when I process them Fly! :-) :-)

and you Mers :-) :-)

Hiya GinN :-) :-) <3

How are you today? :-)

I've had loads of things like that happen to me GinN.

I am now beginning to believe in a sort of "genetic memory" a predisposition to being drawn to places in our ancestry, as if instinctively it calls to us! :-D

I am living where a lot of my ancestors came from :-D but one day would like to visit the Rhondda where my nan was born <3

I'm fine thanks Jem :-D :-D <3 <3 -and I think you could be right about that :-) :-)


Ever since my art teacher at Durham Tech brought us on a field trip to this area I've felt very drawn to it
:-) :-)

Boooo :-D I am back having visited the vampires at my local hospital :-D

Afternoon Jem <3 how are you feeling today, hope you enjoy your day :-)

My Aunt and Uncle lived in the Rhondda, Fly. :-)

We used to go and visit them when I was small, and we used to have to go through the mountains to get there. There were sheep all over the place, and we used to feed them banana sandwiches :-D :-D



Yes, GinN :-)
I always seem to have an instinct about things when I'm researching, too, and I'm usually right! :-D :-D

:-S :-S well im off then...catch you laters <3

Bye Mers, laterz <3 :-)

Hiya Footy :-) <3
How did it go?

Where you off :-S ;-)

Hi OneFoot ;-)

Jem we still have family living there :-D no idea who they are :-0

Hya Mersey - sorry to have missed you :-D :-D <3 <3 - congratulations on becoming an Auntie again :-) :-) <3 <3

Jem - I love this area, but my heart belong to Tyneside :-D :-D <3

Ooh, Footie! - I hope they've left you some blood :-0 :-D ;-)

I know what you mean GinN :-)

If OH wins the lottery, I'm going home! It costs a lot of money to live there now, property wise and economically.

Fly, do you know anything at all about them? I have GR Platinum plus Parish (until Sept) and World FMP (until 16th April) I could give it a go, If it's Evans, Jones or Davies, eg it may be more difficult!! :-D :-D :-D

Jem done some but after 1911 i am lost :-S well Morgan and Collins are not easy ;-)

Jem <3 it was a follow up appointment with my GP regarding the balance problems I'I've been having, from the x-rays and tests so far, they think I may have I've been experiencing and it seems that I may have osteoporosis in my spine and that has resulted in nerves in my spine being trapped, the doctor is arranging for me to have a bone scan to verify this, and I have just been for yet another another blood test, luckily there was not a que, got seen straight away :-)
