Hi Daughter Jan, So Percy is at it in the garden now can he tell a flower from a weed ???? laughter. When my Keith goes into the garden I have to keep an eye on him as he chops every thing down. Most times I go out side with him and tell him he can cut that but leave that one a lone. ha ha. Now I have some very good news, well I think its good. Our Grand-daughter Kerry has been picked to go to Germany with the music team to play her Flute. One of the places she is to play at is a Castle and some rellies of a Royal family will be there. Not sure what Royal family. I dont think its part of my Royal Blood as I did not get an invite (GIGGLES) Off now so be good daughter. and make Percy a nice cuppa. Love Mom June.

Hiya Mummy June Thats great news about Jim am really pleased :-))))))))))))) Hope everyone in England is ok - we didnt hear a thing but noticed the garden chairs all over the place this morning and then read some threads - sounds preety awful in places - Its really bright here now and sunny but still windy. We havent yet made any arrangments for april - we really must get organised. I had a certificate arrive today it tells me the name of my ggg grandad but as yet cant seem to find him on the census's :-((. Never mind eh ! Rick is in the garden tidying up and sniping away at things - obviously today he thinks he is a gardener - bless him will let him play and call him percy for the rest of the day. take care all love jan xx

Hi I am back. NEWS FLASH RE OUR YOUNG JIM. You will all be pleased to hear that our Jim is getting better, he is not out of the woods just yet, but he is getting there. Slow but sure, so fingers crossed he will be back with us as soon as he can. Hope every one else is ok. Byeeeeee now June.

Good morning all, What a day, flower pots that were by the house are now at the top of the garden. Dustbin not in it's right place. At least my green house is still where it should be. Tried to put some washing on the line, gave up. as it went all round the line or blown off. going towards my fish pond. Roll on Spring. Hi Jan you take care if you go shopping hold on to that man of yours dont want you blowing away. Have you been and got your special outfit yet ? Now you must tell your mom, so I will wait to hear from you. I am off now to check up what that bang was out side. Catch you all later. Tat Tar June.

Hiya Margaret glad your home safe - yummmmy bet you enjoyed the stew - I love stew and dumplings but Rick doesnt like it :-(( - he's a fussy one with his food!! Hi Mum - hope your ok today saw the weather last night giving high winds - hope you havent had to go out at all. Have spent all afternoon on ancestry and diff sites looking for rellies that I am sure dont exsist! take care everyone love Jan xx

Good Morning All, What a day, blowing like mad here, but not cold. Welcome to Carol. If you are nice and like a bit of a laugh you can stay with us, But we do like to find out where you come from. Marge glad to hear you got home before the snow came down Nice to hear you had some English Malt Loaf hope you are putting some nice butter on it. Hope you have good news about your knee. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. John so you dont think you wanted to be sent to Canada by freight. It would be different, mind you would have to put your coms on as its a bit cold at the bottom of the plane. Now about me being small, ok I give up this I think was due to my mom and dad keep patting me on the head laughter. My Keith, daughter, son-in-law and even my two grand-daughters are all taller than me. Do you think if I stood in a pot of compost I would grow a little laughter. I did like the story of the Cemetery, I have a Brummie friend who now lives in C.Kerry so I will tell her that one. Hi Jan and Rick. Rick now I have adopted Jan I will have to send her some names off our family tree but up to now I have not found any Smiths, Jones, Browns, or Whites. To all our other friends hope you are all well. Take care will catch you all later. Boom Boom June.

Hi Everyone, Arrived back safe and sound from Calgary, but to about 6inches of snow in RAdium, I was going to stay on with the Family until the weekend but last night they were forcasting heavy snow and wind for CAlgary, so decided to get up and leave early 9am this morning, glad I did as my son just phoned to see if I had arrived home safe and to tell me they had a terrible snow storm about 10-30 am so I was just ahead of it, the roads where dry and clear for the first 2 hours then ran into a light snow through the mountains, but not that bad until the last steep hill down into Radium and it was snowing heavy, arrived home at 12-30pm and it has snowed all afternoon. My daughter and FAmily had a great visiti in England, bought me the best thing they could....MALT LOAF cant get it here so I was thrilled, they did also bring me a beautiful silk and pearl table cloth from Duabi, Well June glad you made out o.k. at the Docs I have to to see a specialist next week about my Knee, you are right this getting old is for the birds, I gave up Birthdays last year when I turned 65 but somehow my body dosnt know this. Well gald Jim And MAry are O.K. sure miss them. must go my neighbours have made a stew and invited me over for dinner. Talk tomorrow. Marg

Hiya - It's That Man Again! Faith, dont you patronise me! I had thought about asking how much the air fare is, but had second thoughts when June suggested cleaning the windows ;-))))))} As for sending me amongst the freight June grrrrrrrrrrrr. June dearest ;-))))} do you think it was the weight of the tarred rope (when you were younger), that's buggered your legs? I was going to say when you were small, but you are that anyway I believe lol. I have leg problems too - but then, I am carrying 14 stone about (I wonder what that would cost freight to Canada?) The Black bears would think they were in for a good meal ;-))))))))))))} For Jim I was going to suggest "Goose grease", take care old fella - at least you aren't lost in the mountains ;-))))))))} As for the sales June. I am a very slow eater at mealtimes, so bought myself one of those gadgets that keep food warm on the table, my food is now warm from start to finish yipeeeeeeeee. _________________________________________________ NEWS FLASH - Ireland's worst air disaster occured early this morning when a two-seater Cessna aircraft crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue teams have so far recovered 1,826 bodies and expect that number to rise, as they continue digging into the night. Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx

Hi June, Glad you are OK after your visit to the docs. Jan is well chuffed that you have adopted her as well as Jim - now she has a second Mum & a second Dad lolol. I also found a whole load of rellies today but it's soooooo confusing cos their names keep changing and they disappear from censuses and it hurt my brain so I had to stop !!!!! And poor Jan is looking for such common surnames she has given up for a while :-((((((((( Hope everyone else is OK. Rick.xx

Hi Jan, Sorry I was late getting back on the site, thanks for your concern. Yes I will be your second MOM laughter. Thanks. I do wonder where all our friends have got too. Even our John has gone astray. I wonder if he has gone off to the SALES. Now John what did you buy ???? Our Brenda computer is still down. so I have missed being able to talk to her on the MSN messenger. I am still trying to find some of my relies, my dads side got back to the 1700, I have not put them in to my computer as I got in a mess with that. I must find out how to add all the ones I have found. To our YOUNG JIM. Just to say we are thinking about you, so keep taking the pills and let nurse Mary rub your chest how about using VIC or she may put a tar rope bag round your neck this will do you a power of good. I had some of these when I was little. So good night to you all off to get my cuppa before going to bed. Love June. Tat Tar.

Hiya June was getting a little worried - been looking out for you all day to make sure all was ok at the doc's . (glad to hear about no messages) Wanted to email Jim today but didnt want to bombard him if he is not feeling too good - but really miss him :-(( The front room is sooo huge and bare now - cant wait till next christmas :-)) take care everyone Love Jan xx

Hi Jan, Heck I am late to day, never mind it was just one of those things. BP ok but have problems with my legs (poor old dear I am) laughter. Have to go back on Monday for Blood tests then the following Monday full exam to see what they can do for my hips and legs. I wonder if I can get some new legs from OXFAM laughter. Have not had any messages Jan, you know what I mean. Now where have you all gone ?????? Marge Hope your family arrived home safe and sound from the UK. Did they bring you any nice gifts ????? from the Bullring. Faith hope you have not worn your wellies out. I did like what you said about HRH perhaps I should get a new number plate for my car.

Hi Faith, Now then is that the New Look WELLIES ? Are they green ones ??? We will have to post our John over to you he might be good going up them ladders. We could even get him to clean your windows while he was at it laughter. Well I had better go now as my bed is calling and I have to be up early in the morning to go to the doctors for my check up. This getting old is not much fun, but I will keep having to take my pills. One for this and one for that. So its shack rattle and roll. giggle. Byeeee June.

To Jim Under the weather,feel out of tune We hope you are feeling better soon Take your pills,drink water,get some rest You will soon again be at your best. with love xxxxxx

Oh happy days, the snow is way over my wellies, I was back up the ladder this morning looking divine in wellies my p.j.'s tucked in them and a big thick coat not forgetting the hat and John my dear if you were here I'd be sending you up the ladder lol, so it's snow days for me, it's too deep for the dog so I'll have to shovel a patch as she is plaiting her legs...The sun is out so maybe it'll melt off quickly...Still no news from Jim and Mary maybe it is a comp glitch...Marg you can stop sending me this weather direct it towards the UK I'm sure Jan would like to make snow angels...Hi Ho it's back to work I go,

Hi Jan, I have re sent the mail to you. What I did was put your old email address on it, so I have now taken that one out of my address book. Hope you get it this time. Take care love June. Hi Rick, So you dont want to go in the corner to replace your Christmas tree. I am sure Jan would feed you while you was in there. It will soon be Christmas again laughter. Tat Tar.

Hello All, Jan I have just sent you mail, hope you get it ok. Now friends I have had a mail from our JIM. He has not been very well since New Years Eve. He has seen the doctor and it looks like he has to slow down abit untill he is fully recovered. Saying this Jim said he does feel a little bit better. But he may be a little bit longer off the board, but will be back as soon as he can. I am sure with me you will all want to say..... GET WELL OUR JIM AS WE ALL MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. ALSO WE SEND OUR LOVE TO HIS BETTER HALF MARY. Catch you all later. Tat Tar June.

Hope your doing ok Faith and Margaret with the bad weather xx June am going to leave my flashing snowman up for now as he is more of a wintery thing than christmassy - thats what I am telling myself anyway:-)))))))))))) Love Jan xx

Hello everyone ! Hope you're all OK and Jim if you're reading this then please say hi and let us know how you and Mary are now. June - you're not alone lol - but fancy suggesting sticking me in the corner - Jan doesn't need much encouragement to poke fun at me !! Jan's taking the tree down today so the front room will look huge afterwards. Shame to take it down really as it looks so nice. Still - only 352 days to go to next Xmas lol. Rick.xx
