You never know what you’ll find

‘Till you start looking.

My husband is a reader – every spare minute he gets he’s reading something.   Thinking about it he’s always been a reader, he even took a book to read on our honeymoon.  Not sure how much he read of it tho’ lol

With the rotten weather we’ve had this week I’ve done some more delving into his family history and discovered something that he’s quite tickled pink over.

One branch of his family originated in Fordington a small place in Dorset which is a county in the South West of England  In 1857 his Great Grandmother’s sister Anne married a man by the name of Frederick Hardy.

Yes, from THE Hardy family – Frederick was Thomas Hardy’s cousin.  Yes THE Thomas Hardy Dorset’s most literary figure.

So, he’s not a blood relation but Dh is suitably impressed.
