Ooh, ha! :)) Mags waylaid! :))

Good idea Diane, one with lots of fruit in, and a slight smidging of jam please! :)) love that word, it was one of my Aunts favoutites! :)) that's a good project Germaine, very worthwhile, I have found a site for Mevagissey in cornwall online, that includes the Church-yards, very interesting, keep up the good work :)

Here you go Gwynne Mmmmm lovely jubbly:)) Mags must have got ...err delayed or...err waylaid ... Diane:)))

Diane, A toasted teacake sounds good. I hope Mags makes it before we close at 9 am. Gwynne

Some of ours are old. Sad thing is a lot are being taken down. I know my g grandmothers was there but it has disapeared hardly any where it was. Yes start them young Joe is the only one that will walk round the grave yard with me. Got an interesting thing on the go. I offered to help do the monumental inscriptions from the town my ancestors came from before arriving here. They sent me some yesterday to put on disc. Not far enough back for my lot but very interesting. Germaine x

Anyone fancy a toasted teacake..I`m having one feel a bit peckish now Diane:))

Hi Christine, Yeh, me, toungue-tied. Possibly the longest time I've been unable to speak ever. It really was a good series my adoration of Oliver as Arthur is half of where I got my nickname from Gwynne

Tongue-tied Gwynne! :)) other-half here has just remembered Arthur of the Britons, he used to be a fan apparently! :))

Wow!, they are old Diane, we have a lot of trouble just reading ones in the 1800's here, I'm kneeling down, squinting away, trying to decipher! :)) see Germaine, it just goes to show, start them off in the cemetary from an early age! :)) raining quite heavy now, looks like I shall have to think of 'Plan B' that might just include lunch at the centre now! :))

*music plays* Memories - Leonard Cohen Some years ago my friend, Steve, organised a charity fashion show. It was a charity that Oliver supports so he came to MC it for expenses only. Steve never let me forget how gauche and tongue-tied I was. Gwynne

That is the Robin Hood I was thinking of when I said Oliver Tobias was in it. Christine. Wonder what it is about grave yards think it must be the peace and quiet. When joe first started to talk we would say where would you like to go 'the cemetry' he would say. He even called garden centres cemetery's (think it was the flowers) Germaine x

Oh, sorry Arthur!, I meant Great Grandson! :)) he'll be keeping you busy now then! :) I remember those home-made pelmets, the neighbour made ours, I used to call them 'spider-hiders' that's where they used to live, or so I thought when I was about nine and ten! :))

Christine we had a wander round Elland St mary`s church yard a lot of very old gravestones-none of ours but a lot dating back to around 1630-couldn`t stop reading them all:)) Diane:))

coffee coming up Gwynne! :) now that sounds like an ideal day as well Diane, I love looking at where the 'Rellies' lived, I'm at my happiest wandering in a Church-yard, even when I was small, Gran would take me :)

Pelmets Arthur. Do you remeber the old ones like my Dad used to make. they were made of hardboard and he did a fancy shape and then painted them, they look nice but a devil when it came to painting the window frames. Germaine x

LOL I couldn`t figure out who he was at first.....I was gobsmacked when the penny dropped he hasn`t aged well... Diane:))

Ropey????????????????????????????????????? Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christine, I'm a real sad case - it was all from memory, except 'The Smuggler' I couldn't remember the name. I loved him best in Arthur - my formative years, you understand. Gwynne

Oh yes, did you like Sean Connery's son Germaine? I liked Robin Hood with Michael Praed, that lovely haunting 'Enya' music! :) Arthur and Gwynne, you look like a pair of smoked kippers! :)) hows that Grandson Arthur? :)

Gwynne I saw him recently on something and he looks a bit 'ropey ' now lol Well thats the washing up done .... No plans today going to inlaws for a meal later on. Had a lovely day over in Huddersfield and Elland yesterday ,took some photo`s of Lee`s Grandad`s old family homes:)) Diane:))

Oh yes will take plenty of money with me. Don't spend as much in winter as we use the side gate and don't go round the front so that get's left. But love my back got loads of solar lights our David said it is a wonder the planes don't come to land from Blackpool. Germaine x
