Chrissie, I was wondering if it was a memorial, as in a cathedral plaque, that Awdrey meant, if so it may be Chichester Dee x

Awdrey Is yours Chichester? (although if you've settled down with Martin Shaw, you may not reply!) I have ancestors from Chichester also. I'm sure I've seen a blue plaque for Holst, but can't for the life of me remember where! Angela

I think I'm a little behind everyone tonight! :-))

Sorry, I'm watching the TV. No, it isn't the Isle of Wight. It is a rather obscure one, so I had better give you a clue. It's in Cornwall.

Falmouth, Chrissie?

I'm off now folks, keep them coming and I will be back with some more tomorrow Dee ;-))

Yes Angela, Falmouth:) Off now.

Good morning all, an easy one to start the day with. I think we have guessed all the outstanding ones, just waiting for Awdrey to confirm if Chichester is right I think, but apologies if I have missed any others This city is said to be the inspiration for some of Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels. Known as the centre of the textile industry it was probably the birthplace of Chartism Dee ;-))

Right, what's next, I'll get my PEN out LOL:))))))))))))))))

Well, it's no good, I have to get some work done. I haven't got time to be SWANNING around here:))))))))))))

p.s. Forgot to mention that I am going to water the plants and fill the birdbath before I whizz round with my feather duster:))

Chrissie - I give up!!! Can't think of any more. By the way, any ideas on what the woman's name was??? K

Giselle????????????? Sorry, no, not a clue:))

Couldn't let you down Karen, so I googled. Apparently the mistress was Nancy Neele and she booked herself in as Teresa Neele.

Awdrey it is Manchester, it was where they Peterloo Massacre took place. Mrs Gaskell did a lot of work with the poor of the area it seems Karen and Chrissie what did you have on your birdseed this morning?? I am giggling away here, hubby thinks I have gone mad (madder than usual that is) ;-))))

That's possible Chrissie, are you feeling a bit feather brained? ;-))))

Not sure Dee but hubby was putting the bird seed out this morning at the same time as I was making the porridge. Do you think they may have got mixed up:))

Tweet Tweet Dee:))

I am in a place (or I will be very shortly) that was once quite pretty with a lawn and various plants and bushes. It is now so overgrown that you can barely see the any of the plants, just loads of weeds. I shall be back later to tell you where I am (or was):)))))

I knew if I searched long enough I would find it The ‘other woman’ in the Christie marriage was Nancy Neele, a 26 year old secretary in the City, who Archie met in Surrey. For some reason I have the complete works of Agatha Christie, with the magazines that came with them Dee ;-))
