Brilliant family to have - you could do a whole book just on them Alter.

Have considered that Heather.........heres another snippet I found a few days ago- agog at th lack of info on the net,I did notice one little detail- someone has gone to town on recording their family and others along with a village cricket team.........now this cricket site has photos of the teams in the 19th century ,and on one page he has detailed th individuals and whre the photo was taken.......3 of them were taken in this village Edwinstowe......and who was the photographer ????.......... my Walter albert Tudsbury !!....wasthere anything they didnt do ?? LOL

Well Alter, I think you have to write that book - it surely would be worthwhile.

If the telly and the pooter hadn't been invented, just think of the interesting things that you would have been able to master instead: Whittlin' on a stick (whatever that is) Clog dancing Tatting (my great aunt used to do that one) Makin' summat out o' nowt Lacing up your stays Feeding a family of 14 on one carrot, three onions, a bucket of lard and a dry crust What would the rest of you like to master? Pass the remote control, someone.

Whittlin on a stick is what I did as a kid-maybe this wood carving larkm is in my genes-its basically grabbing a stick whilstout walking ,getting your penknife out and making something from the stick-or decorating it with carving.....im only 38,and used to do this when I was 10.......now Ive found my 3rd great grand uncle and his 5 childern (first cousins 4 times removed) were wood carvers and cabinet makers.

Must run in the DNA, then. You didn't have a stay-lacer, a tatter and a make-summat-out-o'-nouter-er as well, by any chance?

Heather its no good you being jealous because I had a Prairie Fork player and you dont, And why are you bored surely you are planning the holiday of all holidays with all those fivers ?? how many is it now ??? less of course the one I earnt which you begrudged me on the other thread. Still having problems with those neighbours of yours?? By the way my mother played the Violin , my Grandfather played the Horn (no rude remarks now) .

Not bored Val, just a bit low.

I think you should go and visit Alter, Heather. She could keep you amused with her stick-whittlin'!!

Ummmm...........(I do wish I could change the font size on here.....then I would type this Very Small) Ang.....Alter is a bloke! Merry

Oh b***** - Easy mistake to make!!! Well, he could amuse you with his stick whittlin'!!!!!!

On second thoughts, just forget that last suggestion!!!!!

Tee hee! Merry

Never mind. Maybe we might have cheered Heather up. I am now going to crawl off into the corner and sit there wearing a pointy hat.

Hey if everones fed up-they can come and do my ironing for me before choir practice!!! Carol
