Far and Away

Hi @Shaz51

That was a long day, driving around trying to find family addresses from a couple of generations back ...

Also found this along the way ..... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hopeit is a great virtual tour of Europe. With its ups & downs.

Better than postcards!!

OHHHHHHHH I have been there @Faith-and-Hope xoxo

Hi everybody ... 😊

These are ancient Roman baths .... can't swim here .... lead-lined so ya probably wouldn't want to anyway .. lol ...

Hello @Faith-and-Hope

one of the photo of the church you took , looks like the one i went too xx

hey, have you been to essex, or going there

love cornwall , our family tree goes back too 1500 in essex, cornwall and london

before 1500 the were in Scotland

Have fun my friend

That's so cool @Shaz51 ❣

Would like to trace my family tree but haven't got that far yet. Probably need parish records to find out how long this branch of the family has been in this area ... WH and MIL haven't got the patience for doing much of the family stuff, but I got a day in, and that's somethin' ....

Not Essex or Cornwall this trip .... hope there will be another one sometime .... hafta see what happens.

Have got Scots ancestry too, but don't know where from yet ....

❤️

hi @Faith-and-Hope

hope you have a good sleep xx

Yes I have not done much with the family tree for a few years , some are easy but some you hit a brick wall with xx

@Faith-and-Hope - that is in bath spa right? I been there. Did you go for a spa day? Laze in the hot pool at the top. I lived in Reading when I was there for 18 months a few years back. Was relatively enjoyable. Liked that I was close to London but away from the hectic and crowd of London 😃

Hi @Anony18 ... 😊

A lot of the big towns are like little pieces of London, and yes, quieter ...

Got to have a dip in the spa water ... 👍🏼 and managed a dash through the old Roman baths ... WH and his mum did it in 10mins .... shows what their interest is huh ....?! Glad they have each other for cop any while he's in this state ... it's helping me stay much less stressed than I would be otherwise ....

And he's stressed ... over-tired .... not sleeping well .... fingers and toes constantly turning white and numb from the cold even with all the pocket "hotties" he brought from Aus .... misplacing things ... slept in yesterday and was livid about it cos he still had to go for a jog before breakfast right ... ?

Came out with the kids and me to watch us eat dinner last night ... MIL not eating dinner and barely eating lunch ... :face_with_rolling_eyes: .... my circus travels with me ....

The kids and I are getting to have our own time though, with WH and MIL generally pair d up and doing their own thing .... which means sitting and drinking coffee in between shopping .... but the kids and I went to an animation art gallery yesterday, and did lots of walking around the streets here. The vegetarian burgers here are really, really nice ... !
