Just a thought...................
I guess that should be Labaradors at their heels,not Dalmations.
But I still think Dalmations are sweet.

I am NEVER ashamed of myself cos if I was it would be constant thing,and I have proved many a time that I have no shame!!

Vivienne! Shame on you! The RCMP are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who we were told make quite a few public appearances, especially in the tourist areas we visited.

Did we see them? Did we heck!

Crikey aunty,if you can remember that film "rosemarie"you must be old enough to be my g grandma.
The person who put me in the picture,whoops sorry,bad pun,cant remember all the song to go with it??
I am calling you?
And she had to call her G G grandma to find out.

Also she told me what RCMP stood for,and thats straight from the horses mouth,I will add that she is now crowing cos I didnt know what it meant and she did.


And I guess that the RCMP will be

Coming round the mountain when they come?
With Dalmations at their heels maybe.

Aunty.

Or a raspberry ripple.

Dalmations are nice arent they?I lke the way they trot after the carriages through the streets of london,,really sweet.
Maybe not as sweet as maple syrup or treacle though.
What do you think??

You truly are as nutty as a pancake.

Hi, little thread. You're still here. Wonder when the RCMP are going to arrive. Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald used to do that so well together. Ah! I remember.

Another day dawns.

Let me see. Not Maple Syrup. How about Treacle. Thick, very sweet, by product of sugar refining. Well it's part of the process.

Oh look. This poor little thread has nearly fallen off the page. Hmmm needs a bit of a tidy up. Perhaps a little NUDGE or two.

Whistle, whistle, or should that be phfftt, phftt.
Sweep, sweep, clip, clip.

Might go in and delete a few bits and edit a few more bits. Make it neat and tidy.

Never know who might visit.

Might hide over here away from the military battalion at Nut Lodge. Few bars of chocolate and a good book will do for a while.

Ha! Doesn't frighten me a bit.

I am beholden (not bechevrolet) to her for much good works.

This is to let you know, Janey, that I have nudged my serious thread with the follow up of CEC and MIEK. The last post will bring you up to date with the "like grains of sand through the hour glass of whatever", history.

I really should try and meld the two threads. But it would be so messy.

Now I must away. I have some Unit Standing Orders to write for the battalion, a grimy new Adjutant to whip into shape and a bunch of wet behind the ears junior officers who are going to be learning their alphabet at 0800 hrs tomorrow morning. Oh, so busy!!

There, there, Aunty. Come on back to Nut Lodge, the lily pond and our little creek, where you'll be all safe. You know how excited you get when you go exploring. Big Miss Janey has got her cane out, and lots of other bad things, so let's tiptoe away very carefully.

Oh confounded strewth, blimey and guuuurgle.

It's bad enough being lambasted on one thread.

I can just about handle two.

But three??!!! There just has to be a limit.

I will be spending all my days apologizing and kowtowing to you mangy lot.

So I spread my unintelligence??!!!


Do you notice how I paragraph my sentences on this thread. I have wooden spoon marks on my botty to learn me to do it proper.

Expected another chastimement the other day for deleting a post on JCs thread.

Oh well must away. Have reeeeessearch work to do.

I can offer the feather duster cane that my paternal nan used on us lot,rather worn,but still servicable,sadly devoid of feathers except for a few whisps.

Ouch, sounds painful, Janey. :)))

PS Aunty brings genealogy into every thread she lands on and she tries to give us all nasty tasks to carry out for her.

If someone would pass me the wooden spoon, I have another use for it. One of my stock of 2x4s might be better.

I revoke my answer. "Purple" is not correct.

In 1841, mother Catherine, and George and Elizabeth, are not born in county, i.e. in Shropshire (G&E's eldest child is).

1851

Name: George Whitney
Age: 50
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1801
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Elizth - born Badenham, Herefordshire
>> Where born: Weshbly, Herefordshire, England

Civil parish: Shrewsbury St Chad
Town: Shrewsbury
County/Island: Shropshire


So the Herefordshire one looks good.
