General Chat

I never see any red squirrels in Thetford Forest, have you got them there Paul? :) has your Dad been poorly Gwynne?

Patricia, this is on my Mam's side, Dixon....there are a lot of them on this site, just under 25,000 to date, so i get contacted pretty often.. Total opposite on my paternal side, I haven't even found his mother yet lol

Hi Chris, Bit of a panic on Tuesday he felt dreadful so we got the doc and he has a chest infection. He's on the mend now. Gwynne

Oh Hashbrowns, I was wondering when I'd get to try those out on someone lol, wasn't it you gave me the recipe Deb? No red squirrels here Christine, not that i've seen anyway...it's a shame, they're our native species, the grey squirrels were illegal immigrants lol

Mags, thought you'd gone! :)) you are wonderful in Chatston, and if you hear from Donna, do give her our love, I have been following her diary, it is very touching. :)

Glad to hear he is recovering Gwynne :) Paul, if you think Dixon is bad, try Wright and Smith! :)) (my poor tree is little, hope to get more new growth in the Spring!) :))

Deb, the hashbrowns are coming along nicely, would you like anything else with that? they smell lovely, anyone else tempted?

Yes Paul it was moi. The ones I had today were still slightly on the frozen side! Now tell me, how can you serve hashbrowns that came out of a plastic bag from the freezer? They have to be the real thing. They had the nerve to charge $8.00 for the meal (3 pounds 50p) sorry pound sign on my keyboard.

Deb, They do rip you off in those places, not here, it's all good tucka and value for money lol my girlfriend lives in the USA and always uses lb for her pounds lol

Hi Chris, Where are your Wrights from - they are another headache of mine. Gwynne

I'M TRYING... I'M TRYING!...now tie this dog up! Perhaps if I took me boiler suit off.....She thinks I'm a dustman....dogs don't like dustmen.... Will do Christine! - a better person than me by far! (and I wasn't fishing for compliments - but if you really think that - thanks! :-) I enjoy scribbling I just wish we had more people! It's difficult to get any interaction going with so few - we tend to be on the thread at different times . It's NOT a closed shop! - Just looks that way sometimes unfortunately. We were about to have a 'recruitment drive' when The Hotel came 'on stream' - so we didn't - Wouldn't have been fair would it? - It isn't a competition!! LOL) Right DEFINITELY going now!

Paul, I thought you were making those hash browns with your own fair hands! :))

Ok, they're ready Deb, hope they come up to your standards...actually I need to practise them, i got my kids coming to stay soon and i'll make some for them Christine , I am making them fresh, Deb was talking about some restaraunt ripping her off with the frozen ones

Christine, Molly is wanting to go out now, she obviously didn't get enough exercise chasing Mags, she didn't run fast enough lol I'll be back in 15 minutes

That is the key question Gwynne!, Gran never spoke of them much, as they never really got on!, Dad keeps saying Ashdon (Essex), but I'm not sure am hoping this cert. will reveal something, but seeings he was in India, not very likely I expect it will say England, all I know is he was born Jan 26th 1868, and have now found out his first wife was called Elizabeth, but am hoping he married here and not in India, (he was Quarter Master Sgt. In Army), so am getting there slowly, have a few photo's, just have to keep badgering Dad...

ok Paul :) hope you are enjoying those hash-browns then Deb! :)) anybody want more coffee or tea? :)

when the certs. arrive, what colour envelope do I look for?, I'm getting excited here! :))

Hi Chris, The ONS send them out in white A4 envelopes. Our Wrights are from Warwicks and Leics. Gwynne

Thanks for the tea/coffee offer Christine, boys and hubby up now so going for our papers etc and to watch the parades at Mandraki Harbour. Hope to chat to all again soon, all have a good day. Pat :))

Ooh, Gwynne, shall be waiting at the door then on wednesday, (bet they'll be late!) :)) there seems to be a lot of Wrights on A Wirksworth register, think it is a place, not too sure!
