Anne,
Although my mother's mother's family are the ones that were from Kent, my mother's father 's brother (my great uncle) lived in Hythe for a while according to records :-)

All my Grandmother's children (except for my mother) were registered in Elham. My mother was registered in Romney Marsh, her mother's ancestral home. My mother believed she was born on the Isle Of Sheppey, as her father was in the military.

Maidstone .... Kent

Rhandirmwyn ..... Mid Wales

A beautiful place in the Brecon Beacons where I camped when I was 10 with a schools holiday.

A record-breaking thunderstorm occurred on the Thursday night! I was sharing a tent with an hysterical girl! :-0

We went on 12 mile hikes up mountains, and the leaders told us to have a good look down at the beautiful valleys below as they were soon to be flooded for a dam. :-( - Llyn Brianne

HI Jem :-D :-D.

Neverseal - Peak District

Your camping holiday was a lovely experience for a 10 year old, I agree the Brecon Beacons is a very scenic part of Wales, after 10 mile hikes I expect you slept well apart from the thunder storm night you must have felt very vulnerable only being in a tent :-(

I wasn't actually that frightened then. I think I got more fearful of things as I got older! :-D :-D
It was quite a spectacle watching the fork lightning coming down from above the mountains!
