Thanks, 6d. I missed out on poor Ena when I was pruning in the autumn - that's why she's so up in the air, lol.

Lol Wagger at least she can see the weather comming hehe

Yeah, she's bowing her heads even more after today's rain :-( Still, we needed it!

Yes we had rain here too will do the roses good.

Is the latest avatar an ancestor?

Yes my great grancha Wagger.

How lovely having a photo from so far back - I've only one picture of my great grandmother, she looks fearsome.

Lol Wagger you saying that so does my great nan, my uncle said a couple of years ago when he came over from Austraila she was evil hehe, he had a boil or some thing on his finger, they could nt afford doctors then, he was 9 at the time he is in his 80s now, she held it in front of the fire until it burst, he said he would nt dare scream, and how painful it was, won't repeat the words he called her but I could tell he hated her for it lol, perhaps people should think again about the nhs getting rid of it lol, and when my grand daughter of 14 seen my dads teacher on one photo in Wales, she said she looks a right strict bitch would nt like her as a teacher lol.

My brother has visited my cousins they had all these photos he is doing a family tree researching into all their past too, he went to Bristol the other day to the censors office and got where my mum and parents use to have shops and a hotel York Road, Templegate in 1934 and 1935, he got 1911 ones where it s blanked out on all censors they blank out for 100 years disability, deafness, blindness, feeble minded , insanity, imbercile on all records so should be able this year to find out, I told my brother and sisters they don't need to find out insanity as I m already insain lol looking on one my great Nan on my mothers dad side, was born in Bristol all the rest born in Wales, some in Cambridge on my mums mum side too. I getting to feel like a liquorice allsort haha

A cousin of mine has done my father's side of the family back to 1556 - no photographs from then, lol. An odd thing was when my niece chose her daughter's name, Isabella, she had no idea that there were fourteen Isabellas and a couple of Isobels in that side of the family tree. Spooky, eh?

Yes its strange is nt it with names the same here in our family tree not knowing yet got the same names, even zoe and dorothy a member of the church high up made me laugh as I don't believe in any thing my self on the other side my nan was a taberine girl in the salvation army on the other side.
