Hello George,

I live in a very nice tree lined road, it is very quiet and always has been. I dont know Maida Vale very well. So I cant comment on it. I know Edgeware Road, it goes on for ages. There used to be a very nice shoe shop down there, Italian shoes at a very nice price.

I love the hustle and bustle, and the ability to just jump on a bus or the tube. I lived in the country, and was a slave to the timetable, if they run on time. I think we should agree to differ on this subject. Each to their own.

:-D

Hi Marilyn and Motowngal,

MotownGal, I am from the west end of London, well the Edgware road area, Maida vale, it used to be a really nice part, but go there now and its the pits, in a few years it will be like Southall.
Yes, I agree London's skyline may be great, but its at street level is where people live and that is becoming the pits :-( :-(.

Marilyn, yep, Devon is nice ( when it stops raining) LOL :-D :-D :-D :-D only joking :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Old foggs is away at the moment, should be back this week,

George
:-) :-) :-) :-)

Evening All.

Hope everyone managed to dodge the rain today.

Marilyn, you gave me a possible spouse for Sarah Cooper b. 1873 Islington. The fellah Jame Fluin was not to be. Ho hum. Never mind, I do appreciate your time and efforts. Sarah Cooper is a very common name.

Sorry you dont like London George. I live there. I have lived in other parts of the country, and would not live anywhere else.

I can see over the London skyline from my bedroom window, and when it is lit up, it is very pretty. I can see from left to right, Canary Wharf, the Shard, The Wheel, St Pauls, Kings Cross, and most of the West End buildings.

Back to work tomorrow. 14months, 3 weeks, and 6 days.
;-)

Hi George..

And there was me thinking I could be lined up for Chief Bridesmaid ..LOL

George... I feel like you when I have visited London as I did live there for 28yrs, but although I really did enjoy myself there , I wouldn't go back if someone gave me a free house there !!!

I so love my Devon.....LOL :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


Where's our Foggy ???????? :-S

Evening all,

Just got back from visiting family in London, blinking glad I don't live there anymore :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( its becoming the pits.

Marilyn, there is no chance of me and Sarah having a honeymoon as Ive done that once, and once was well enough thank you..LOL :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi All,

I have just got back from Hairdressers, I feel normal now ,,LOL

Maddie I cant remember what I did for your grandfather ....give me a clue and I'll see if I can come up with another ! :-D


I have just had a Chilli Con Carn ....I so love it that Pete has to have something different as he dont like Chilli..... so he had yesterdays left overs ....LOL

Any way a glass or two of Red Wine went down a treat ...

Mo... have a great time in Yarmouth , I have never ever been there so maybe one day I'll make the effort to see it .

I'm still drinking my lovely wine......so speak later... :-D

Yaaaay got on here at last.

No work today, so I can get on with tracking down my ancestors.

Thanks to Marilyn to sorting out a name for my gt.grandmothers' husband, but it was not to be. Back to the drawing board.............

Just starting raining.............................again.

Take care everyone, keep warm.

Maddie
:-D

Morning everyone nice one at the moment

Mo give my regards to Yarmouth. I lived about 1 mile along from there in Caister on Sea. and did most of my shopping in Great Yarmouth. Many happy memories spent in Yarmouth coffee nearly every Morning in Palmers with friends.I met in Yarmouth while shopping.

Two years ago when I went there with my daughter for five days holiday I walked a round and notice how much it had changed in the 8 years I have left there. I hope you get good weather.

Morning everyone hope you have had a good weekend and that today goes well for you. I didnt do anything over the last two days didnt see anyone either. although I had a few phone calls.

Today I am going to do my washing get that out of the way.
Hope Pauline is feeling better not in so much pain.

bye for now.

Hello everyone,
How are we all. Enjoying the weekend I hope, even though the weather is against us here in Kent, it's nice to get out and meet up with friends for a few hours.

I managed to get on here the first time of trying tonight. It must have something to do with the time of day/evening that we try logging in.

I hope it cheers up this week, as we are off up to Great Yarmouth on Saturday, just for a week, but it will make a nice change to get away from the home environment for a while.
Baby Lilly and her mum and dad are coming with us, so lets hope she settles getting to sleep, in a strange place, or I can see me coming home even more exhausted than I am now.

Take care one and all. Mo

Oh its ME again ..LOL

I have just come in from the garden, everything looks lovely Sweet Peas are coming along, roses have started to bloom, I have a White Climbing Montana that has gone mad there are so many flowers that you couldn't even put a hand in between them ,glorious.....

I have just seen the last of the sun sat admiring All :-D

Soppy aren't I ..LOL :-)

Now its time for dinner.....liver casserole for a change .

Morning all,

Not too bad a day....a bit grey but warm.

Think I'll go for a walk this afternoon,I'm getting very lazy at walking and its doing me no favours .

I wonder where Foggy & George disappeared to ? I hope Foggy is well.
George & Sarah could well be off on honeymoon .... ;-)

As for Shelly ......she's deserted us and I'm upset :-(

Oh well must get on ..

morning all

jus got me lappy back!! :-D :-D

im off to devon nx weekend! missed maz again!!!!

taking the dog to meet parents,should be fun!

Morning everyone
Not so bad here this morning. Still grey but dry, looks cold. But not out until later. Think my brother was hoping for a better day as it is his son's 18th family celebration today. We will be off to Windsor after lunch. Hope it's a bit warmer so some can get out into the garden, he has a smallish house !!

Been busy catching up with the ironing all done now thank goodness.
Must pot up the tomatoes later as they are getting too big for their current pots, but it's not warm enough to plant them in the greenhouse yet.

Shelly I watched an interesting programme about the olympic stadium and area. I think I remember that your husband is involved in it's building, maybe I saw him ?

Have a lovely day everyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Morning All.

Dark and grey here too.

Just been taking Charlie for a walk and got the papers.

I shall have a read of the scandal sheets before I head off to work.

Yes Marylin, another 15 months to go. Ho hum. lol

See ya later.
:-)

Morning friendlies,
this thread is becoming like a ghost ship :-(
I expect the persistent error message is putting people off even trying now.
Grey and cold here, rain has stopped for now but I bet it will be back later as I have towels and sheets to hang out.
Hope all are well and making the most of the long weekend,

Cath xx

Morning

It is strange to log on here and see my little butterfly so many times on a page. It looks like people have moved on. ?

IT is dry here but not a nice day. shame it will spoil peoples Bank Holiday plans.

I have nothing planned for today. just me my book or TV.

have a good day

Oh Maddie I think I would have 3 humps by now ...LOL

I must admit my bus pass does get me around .....you can jump off and on any bus you fancy,its just like a game ;-)
My son said you pensioners got it easy ....oh how he came to that I'll never know , I just had to reminded him that I DID PAY on the buses before I retired......and that he will also when the time comes get a bus pass ... :-S.... grrrrr he only said that because he for the first time had to catch a bus to go to a drinky do in order top get a Taxi home ,and said I was the only one that paid a fare on that bus .....

So I had to tell him a few more woes of tales .. ;-)

I WAS THINKING STEPHEN MUST HAVE USED A CAMPAVAN OR SMALL VAN TO TAKE ALL THAT GEAR WITH THEM AT THE WEEKEND.
CANEO. CYCLES. CLIMBING GEAR. FOOD AND HIS WIFE.

WE USE TO USE A LARGE ESTATE CAR WHEN WE TRANSPORTED OUT CANOE'S 2 OF THEM TO THE THAMES AT WEEKEND. AND FOOD AND COOKING UTENCILS. AND JOHN HAD HIS FISHING EQUIPMENT. WE OFTEN GOT REMARKS FROM POLICEMAN AS THEY PASSED US IN THE CAR. YOU FORGOT THE KITCHEN SINK. LOL

Marilyn
I did not mean to make the bunting now as it is pretty cheap. whenj I did mine it was for the Scouts and Guides St Georges day years ago about 1960 or there about and you could not get it then . That was why I made mine.they used it for years afterwards right till about 1982.

We had an Empire day and had to dress up.some of the costumes were so funny.
I hope yours goes well.

Marilyn, 2013.

No wonder I have the hump sometimes. That elusive date is dancing in front of my eyes. I dont get me buspass til then either.

:-P
