I will post a few short stories of things I find while searching my family history. They are posted as things that can happen in any family, mine is not...

My father's name was Boyd, my brother is Boyd, his oldest son is Boyd and his son (now only 1 yrs old) is known as B4 cause it is short for ...... Boyd (and being the Fourth Boyd it fit)
I hope MD won't mind me mentioning but, as her absence has been commented upon, I contacted her to check on her well being. She tells me that for some unknown reason, she is unable to logon to E4U....
Last post
I had no idea of MD having a problem logging into E4U till I read this thread, she posted on L4U so she's no problem there, yet I have not received any PM on there from her with any details of the...
I have had an interest in cameras and taking pictures for around 70 years. I didn't quite start with a Brownie Box Camera but not much advanced from that. The first camera I remember was a Koroll...

Can't fault that photo, it's not as if people print photos these days, most are viewed onna phone or tablet screen
MD has mentioned the flora in her new abode and both LLL and me have told of upcoming visits to garden centres. Horus has reminded us that it is bluebell time again SO, is it time once again to start...

Horus Here if you buy Lupin seeds they're all known as Russell Lupins and they grow super easily and well and will grow year #1 into whatever colours you buy although typically here they sold as a...
With the days shortening and the clocks going back next month, I thought I would buy some time on Ancestry.co.uk picking up some of the loose ends in my family history. It is probably at least 3...
Last post
I've done the Ancestry thing and it WILL be very interesting when it comes back. It does give where your DNA hails from and will link you to any other relatives who you link to and it'll give you the...
Much as I like my little three wheeler it does find every bump and without suspension can make the ride a tad uncomfortable. It is very suitable for transporting in a car boot so I shall keep it for...
Last post
Horus - Here it is the guys that drive the great but jacked up trucks that do that. Since they're triple the height of everybody else they figure they can OWN the road and do what they want. Speed...
This is a quilt which 'disappeared' from someone's house on Vancouver Island (I think) so one to keep your eyes peeled for, please. The person who it was made for has since passed away,...

I just looked on our local Forum and yes this quilt is posted.
This is the write up that goes with it:
It's a long shot, but maybe someone has seen this quilt. It was made for a family member that...
This weekend is the Festival of quilts at the NEC in Birmingham, which started on Thursday and finishes tomorrow (Sunday). I haven't managed to get there yet but lots of the members of my quilting...

I just finished another rag quilt 'cept for the binding which I'll put on this week :) :) My designs are all pretty simple but the quilts once on a bid always look pretty colourful….
Just to conclude what has been happening in my life for the last week or so, finally my failing eyes
I had an eye appointment at the glaucoma clinic last Saturday. Did a visual field and then saw an...
Last post
Sorry to hear your eyesight is getting worse.
I am surprised they don't make more use of the private sector. Barry still goes to Optegra in the UK as our region of France is like the UK & has a...
You may have noticed that I have been almost entirely absent from the forum for over a week. It started with very little to say or contribute but then some events...
Last post
I like these type lights and have plug in lights in all the bathrooms and hallways here. They turn on at dusk and give a low light but get brighter soon as movement is sensed. I find them to be ideal...
An afternoon at Folkestone Harbour Arm
I know I have told you about this place which is the Harbour Arm from which the Golden Arrow used to depart by ferry to France. It has now become a lively place...
Not something I was aware of but apparently BBC and ITV have been collaborating in setting up a platform similar to Netflix making an archive of programs available to view. The monthly charge will be...

Britbox has been being advertised here as the latest thing to watch. Couple of friends have it and are probably watching lots of shows they haven't seen before.
For 25 years before I retired I worked for a company based in Sandwich, Kent. Sandwich, a former Cinque Port, is steeped in history and a very short distance from where the Romans first landed in...

Beautiful gardens and very colourful :)
I'm curious to why the street in your first post first paragraph was named Knightrider Street is there a good reason for this :?:
I did say I would post a few pics of my little backyard oasis in a few weeks BUT; as it is mid summers day on Friday, we may not get too many more days when the sun shows its face. :lol:
So here are...
Last post
@H - Your nasturtiums are looking real good to me. You've definitely got lots more 'flower' showing than I do but I'm aware mine are growing in pretty nitrogen augmented garden soil aka manure which...
I know over the years I have posted a lot about my home city Canterbury but I thought I would give a 'heads up' for a program on TV this evening.
Channel 4 at 8pm, Britains Most Historic Towns, will...
Last post
We watched this last evening and I must say they presented my home city very well. Apart from the historical facts, I thought the camera direction was very good with emphasis on architectural...
Yesterday I had the crew and we decided to go south to Ladysmith and visit Transfer Beach Park. We all had our cameras (albeit I only had my little pocket camera cause I was already lugging enough of...
Last post
The beaches are FULL of wood...all our beaches are over burdened with logs. They used to let us go and chop them for firewood but now that is forbidden so the beaches just stack up. Occasionally they...
I think I may have mentioned that me and my wife use headphones particularly when watching TV dramas. The speech is often soft and unclear via the TV or soundbar speakers. We find it better with...

Well I got the device from Amazon. It is an Avantree Oasis bt transmitter/receiver. I mis-understood the description thinking it received a bt signal from the TV but then had the capacity to transmit...

What are you up to MD ? Last we heard you were off to Ibiza. You said you had internet but we haven't heard from you. as far as I know.
How have you settled in ? Did you take a scooter ?...

I'm back Grandad, having the time of my life with fitness improving every day. Weather hasn't been too good but hasn't affected anything I want to do. More later.
We have a very good show of Bluebells this year, all the woodlands are full of flowers. For some reason the flowers are quite tight and so the deep blue colour is more pronounced although later on...

As an aside, if you look to the right of the Blackthorn hedge you will see a slight worn path in the grass. This is made by Badgers as they head out from their set further into the wood.
I did mention that we planned to spend a few days in Staffordshire. Our daughter and her husband would be doing the transportation and we would all stay at The Boars Head Hotel in Draycott in the...

Sounds really interesting Grandad and I enjoyed seeing your photos and of your daughter's practice, Thanks for sharing
