If you look at the houses
Across the road
Over the back fence
Next door
And even at the one down my drive
It looks like my neighbourhood is closed for the day
Doesn’t look like there is much going on
Because when the forecast is for over 30c/86f
with gusty northerly winds
We just pull down the blinds and find something quiet to do
For the past few days whilst the weather had been warm
I’ve been busy on the computer
visiting various genealogy (family history) sites
Trying to delve deeper into the mysteries of Dh’s family
When we were in Nova Scotia last year
we visited Dh’s Aunt (his late Mother’s sister)
One day she was quite upset –
and told me she was sad that at 87 years
she still had so little to tell her children
about the family she left back in England
She had moved to Canada in 1946 as a War Bride
and in all those years had only returned once
To see her dying sister
Taking advantage of 14day free trials some of these sites offer
I have looked at every Census ever recorded in England
Births Deaths and Marriages have been found
I have managed to find out so much more information
than even Dh had recorded
So he’s pleased that I wasn’t just avoiding him
and all the time I’ve been tucked away
here in front of this screen has been worthwhile lol
Aunt Dorothy knows I’ve found out a little
but not the full extent
Now all I have to do is put it together in some form
and send it over to her.
Oh, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when she receives it:)
