Morning Ladies

Londonbelle I was thinking about you yesterday. I am reading Almonds and Raisin's and the book is set in Manchester around Bury New Road and Strangeways area. They are Jewish Russian Immigrants. It then mentions the Red bank area and that is were my Great Grandmother was born of Irish Immigrants in the 1860's ( the book is set in 1905)
So off I ran for my box of tricks certs census print outs to find the road or street where she was born. I then noticed on the census form that all they neighbours head of the house hold was tailors, and set my brain a whirling, was they working and living in sweat shops as the book describes some 40 years later?

I am mentioning this to you 1....I am alone at home and have no else to tell and if there was their eyes would just glaze over. and 2...you are already familiar with our Nicholas and his wife who is older than her husband by considerable years and constantly lies about her age. :-D

Know the feeling Joy one phone call and everything is altered. Don't know where time goes. Got a busy day today.

About 30 mins sorting out Wednesday's meeting, washing up after our quick lunch, sorting out my tea, OH wants pizza, being head cheerleader and medic for the rugby and catching up on the TV progs we missed last week. :-0

Save it for tomorrow Belle then the thread can start

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
