Never been a sun worshipper Emma, cos I do not brown. I go red which disappears quickly and leaves me with the same pale skin and even more freckles.

I tend to sit in the shade and have always done that.

OH sits in the sun until I tell him to move - rather than look like a beetroot!

I was surprised Emma.

Loads of sea-going ancestors on Mum's side and she married a sailor too.

Girls, I have been notified that they have used the latest methods to re-test my DNA - which, I understand is always ongoing when new tests become available.

The traces which they had been unable to pin down accurately so wrote several parts of Europe down (making me a virtual mongrel) have been sorted.

I know a person's DNA never changes so rang my younger bro to pick his brains. His field was genetics and he carried out genetic research then lectured in biology and genetics as he got older so he is my go-to guy for this sort of thing. He was eloquent to say the least and told me all about the use of chemicals etc (which daughter understood but me ... Nah!)

Here I am.

England and Wales 74%
(Northern and Southern England and Midlands)

Ireland and Scotland 22%

Norway 2%

Sweden 2%

96% British blood had me gobsmacked. There must have been some good girls in my background. :-D

And there was I, thinking they all liked sailors. :-D :-D :-D
