Hi Sarah Not too bad, thank you. Been gardening a lot lately. Camera Club competition tomorrow must stop gardening and sort out some prints. What have you been up to? No good, I hope. Len |

Hello Len I've been quite busy. My little boy is on half term now. Have you ever taken any photos of the bluebell woods at Ibstone? They will probably be looking stunning in the next few weeks. Perhaps I will pay a visit soon.... Kind Regards Sarah. |

Hello Sarah My great grandmother was a Sarah. A very elusive lady and a bit of a brick wall to me. Yes and no. I have photographed the bluebells in Fingest which is not very far from Ibstone. Very difficut to photograph as the blue rarely comes out well, especially in sunshine - something to do with the ultra violet reflecting off them. Did quite well in the competition tonight. Got 3 prints marked 17,18 and 19 out of a possible 20. One of these was a close-up of a thrush. Cheers len |

Hello Len! Glad you did well in the photographic competition. Is your thrush related to me than, since it is a 'Bird'!!! Regards Sarah. |

Hello Sarah Wasn't it cold today. Still, it kept all the brass monkeys off the streets. Where is Susie - has she abandoned us ? Come in Susie, your time is up. Len |

Hello Len Yes, it is freezing out there! I think Susie has probably done the sensible thing and possibly gone off to warmer climes!!! Take care Sarah.XX |

Hi Sarah That is an interesting surname you have here. What is its derivation ? My own is is from the Celtic, an Anglicised "apRhys" meaning son of Rhys. Rhys probably meant a clerk or scribe. Len |

Hi Susie I was in Wycombe today. Didn't see you. Kept a watch out too. I see you have been on the "Life after Death" thread. I've just been stirring it up a bit. Why don't you join the fray again ? Sarah Where did Bird originate and is Cuenca translatable ? Len |

Hello and good morning Susie Yes, it's quite cold here too! We had a spattering of fine hailstones overnight. Hello Len!! My Birds seem to go back quite a long way in your area - Booker, Stokie etc. Cuenca is translatable. It means 'riverbasin'. So I suppose that makes me 'Sarah Riverbasin'!!! Lovely!!! lol!! Apparently, Cuenca is a pretty little town in Northern Spain. Hello Steve! I only discovered my Birds were from Stokie and Booker when I found them on the 1901 census. I always thought they were, and had always been from Sunbury-upon-Thames. Life is full of surprises eh? I now regularly visit the area. Regards to you all! Sarah.X |
