General Chat

Chris someone from one of the stalls is doing a looking for me on Thursday. If she manages to find the info I'll let you know as it's one of hubby's as well as mine.

Hiya... just lost my first post... don't know where it went!!!

Christine we all met at the Gwent Family History Fair in Cwmbran, well Croesililog (sp) actually. Its next to the police headquarters so we had to be on our best behaviour lol.

We had some time there and whizzed off in a convoy of three cars all of us following Daff who has a car the colour of a Daffodil no less to our watering hole The Dragon Fly where we had a lovely pub lunch. I had scampi and chips - yummy downed with a soda and lime.

We all behaved ourselves impeccably. Claire is a chatterbox and so is Daff. Ann is so funny and Jax is lovely. Maddie - well Maddie is a chatterbox as well so dont believe her when she says she is *shy and retiring* Maddie may be shy but not retiring unlike me who just clams up! lol.

So there, a lovely few hours spent and the weather was very kind to us - sunshine and only just started a few spots when we were in the pub car park.

I don't know what I did there either... hadn't finished typing!!

I had a lovely time... it was brilliant meeting you all.... Good company, good food, good fun...!

We waited with Jax... you should have seen Ann running down the platform waving a hankie at her as the train was pulling out... my sides were splitting!!
I have had my gt gt gt grandmother's maiden name identified... and a new parish in Cornwall to investigate.

I have also lost the tube of charts I bought... I don't know what I have done with them ;¬(( I think I left them on the floor of the car park while I sorted my boot out!

Ann should be online soon.... Jax won't be back until about 8.30..... and please don't believe a word of what she says......... she is SUCH a fibber ;¬)))

(Jax, I told you I'd get in first, ner ner!)

Love

Daff xx

What Daff you lost something? Never! Lol x

Lol Linda... not like me at all is it, wmsl!!

I am a bit gutted.... they didn't cost the earth, but it was a tube of charts from Ron, and I had been so looking forward to starting on the first one. Never mind... look out Ron.... I'll be back!!

Daff was it at the pub can you ring them - or someone at the fair - see if they have been handed in?

I am doing h/work - just needed a quick fag after unloading and reloading dishwasher. I was gone what 6 or 7 hours and theres 12 mugs on the side!

Hi gang - I'm back too - Daff and I waved Jax off on the train to Pembroke Dock - what a lovely day it was, it was lovely meeting you all, such fun, lovely weather, fascinating things on show - my first visit to a Family History Fair - lots of things to spend cash on - will know what to expect next time - glad everyone is home safely and we'll just wait to hear from lovely Jax
I do hope we all meet up again some time - I really had such a lovely day and hope you all did too.

Love Ann XXXX

claire that sound interesting keep me informed

tina i'm so glad you had a good time i've never been to a meet but i love hearing about them

daff what new parish in cornwall are you investigating

chris x

Hi Christina... Tywardreath..... it is where my gt gt gt grandparents were married.... I was thrilled to bits with that bit of info.... most of my ancestry is Devon and Cornwall. Not very Welsh that, is it!! They were miners.
