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:))

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! :))

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

*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

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! :))

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :)

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

Yes I wish there was someone in Fleetwood interested in doing something like that mind you would be a big job. Only cemetry in the town. Germaine x

Christine toasted teacake with a smidgin of homemade jam:)) Diane:))

We even got our 'handyman' to put up some special 'wipe-clean' wallpaper, behind her big table! :))

Ta muchly Diane, very tasty this, Mmm! :))

I`ve even covered the floor with polythene after having the carpet steam cleaned as well :)) Well shall we finish putting everything away ...very quiet this morning must be having a lie in Diane:))

Well Folks, not sure if 'takings' are up today! :)) won't be getting a big bonus at this rate, shall we all fight over the tips? :))

Oh, who put that old foreign coin in the box? :))
