Hi Cheryl,

HI julie...how do you find time to do anything with 3 children to run round after? I find it really hard when the step kids stay over...they drain me : /

Haha Joan, 60 is the new 50 so dont worry about age and Im sure them 16 grandchildren keep you young.
Wheres your favourite place to holiday? x

Sorry Joanella ;O) ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing

Cheryl I am lucky as the youngest is 13 LOL
I get my days fairly free other than hubby here and there.

HI cheryl, I have just got my freedom pass which enables me to travel to my daughters free to look after our grandson for two days a week ! The rest of the time I am at home as I have retired from looking after children with special needs. :o)) We have been in our house for 36 years and I have packed the garden with plants so therefor no space left and also not a lot of work either, which leaves us fairly free to go out where we please. I was once very involved at our church doing the flowers for weddings and special occasions but not any more, the youngsters do it now and we can just admire. I love to take close up pictures of flowers, I love nature, I provide mason bees with new homes each year and I love to hear the birds, sadly I am not a cat lover because next doors cat came in our house and took our budgie aged ten then and he died of shock, :o((( so I wont have animals anymore, aaaahhhhh. I love to see other folks gardens & flowers here on this wonderful website. ! and I love chatting --------------------------- :o)

I am a Jazz vocalist in my spare time,am doing a garden history Course at College,and hoping to work towards a Garden Design career,as passionate about gardening,especially since I became a GoY! I love macro photography,West End Shows, and am a avid reader,and love a good old chuckle! :~))x

raffles is such a cute name florib...we had a little dog called "noodles" but he seemed to love our neighbour in our old home more than us(she doggysat while I was in work) so we let her adopt him x

Cheryl i dont have a favorite place really as we like to go to different places mostly abroad though..i need the sun..lol

Hi Cheryl
I was 60 yesterday
I like making pottery things, drawing and tracing my ancestors - just as much as being in the garden. They get me through the winter :o)
I can speak Welsh and English, but often get the two mixed up .. lol

Hi Cheryl, I am 42, married and have two daughters, eldest 16 next week!! and youngest 8, enjoy cooking and listening to music and spending time with my family, do a mean chicken tikka masala from scratch!! I work part time as an administrator. We have lived in this house for 12 years and got the passion for gardening around 10 years ago. Planted up the garden slowly over the years not really knowing how i wanted it just went with the flow, but having a passion for all the lovely plants. Two years ago had the house extended at the back and had new patio built so now i am determined to get some sort of order into the garden and would like borders all the way round as at the moment just have a border down each side, would like to enclose the garden a bit more. With all the gardening magazines and books that fill my cupboards i should have some pretty good ideas by now! Have talked about gardening again!

Hywel, I am doing my family tree too ! I have just been round three church yards and found my great great grandma and her family plot also a great uncle, I get such a tingle when I find another name to add to my big jigsaw !! Dont forget to take pictures of the headstone too to help you log the details.

Granmage & Hywel,im in the same club as you 2, just done mine on Ancestry united ..fantastic site..:o)

Joan e I was scared to go on ancestry in case it cost toooo much !! I have been doing alright on my own but might have to use it sometime.

I started it in 1975 after my grandparents died. There were no computers then. I went around the public records offices and graveyards etc. I've gone back to 1680, I don't bother much with the internet. I've gone back much further than it can help you.

It's most interesting isn't it Hywel, I really love doing mine but it takes time, so a little piece at a time. :o~)

Quite !
