We are enjoying being on the sofa whilst it’s snowing and cold. #sofaday #mycatpixel #pixelmycat #lazysunday

I think the last 6 days have been my most eclectic ever.

My beautiful sister Kathryn who died 47 years ago at the tender age of 15.

Lest we forget. So many young men. 2nd photo. Harold Benjamin Evans. He lost his life in WW1 aged just 18. He actually shouldn’t have been overseas till he was 19.

Lest we forget. Please remember the fallen and those that fought and returned. #remembranceday #remembrance

One way of grabbing attention.

Using what I have to do a quick Halloween sign. Roll on tomorrow.

A massive thank you to the family of Michael for taking the trouble to track me down esp after the phone number they had for me was for a previous address. They found me on Linkedin.

Pure chance Harrison sat on the opposite side this visit. We had a lovely day at Crich Tramway museum. Think this was our 4th visit. Closes on Sunday for the winter. Can highly recommend for young or old.

Winter duvet and new bedding has Pixels approval.

If you are going to try to scam people at least get the terminology correct and the spelling !!! Please never reply or click links to this sort of email.

This weeks 2nd talk completed. An intriguing and tragic tale set in 1760. All my talks have a connection to an ancestor, maybe a small part. My Great Great Grandfather Frederick, father to Catherine. He was baptised as a Cutler but eventually used the surname Curtis. Most of his cousins changing their names between 1840 and 1860. According to on small newspaper snippet ref a marriage. It was due to the family being involved In the arrest of the Earl and the ‘noblemans sanguinary family’. Still trying to work it all out. Now for a coffee and resting voice. Been talking for 1hr plus questions.

Family history thoughts

Too many ancestors and not enough time………..
Time changes things – please don’t judge your ancestors
