Cath

I have been through four years of my Dorset and Somerset family History books looking for South Petherton and have found nothing at all. I was pleased I did search as I came across alot of interesting information
some things that gave me a smile.
I will have to put a couple on here so you can all see., sorry I could not help.
If you had a surname you are looking for it might come up in one of the other areas'.

Rita

6 year old granson is sleeping.

Happy 2nd birthday to little legs. I recall the moment he arrived we all waited to hear.

Thank you Yvonne it is nice to know my daughter and son in Law reached their 40th anniversary last year he had under gone that terrible cancer operation we never thought he would make it. but with gods help he did.

Hello all

Happy Birthday to little legs

Bit of a grey day today

We went to the Burghley Horse Trials yesterday, really enjoyed it, the weather was good not too hot. The fences were huge, my little horse would never get over them lol. Bought a name plate to go on stable door and son bought himself a Stockman's hat, they've got a wide brim to keep the rain off and the sun off your face and neck.

My older sister used to read Jackie and Diana. I liked 'June and Schoolfriend', thats going back a few years :-)

Rita Best wishes to your daughter and son in law

<3

The Jackie Generation concert I went to yesterday was very good.

Morning all if I list the names I will be here for ever lol I wonder what happened to Whippet Lady ? and Sallie. I know Sue pops in from time to time.

It is such a dismal day not a bit of blue in the sky just horrid grey skies and very humid I have all my windows open to let the air in.

I am going to sort the things out I need to take to Dorset with me next thursday. then I have to charge my mobile and camera incase I forget I hope to take alot of wedding photos
I do hope the weather is nice and sunny for Georgia and Oliver.they have waited two years for this, all the planning they have done and money they have spent. her brother in the Royal Engineers is home on leave from the army so it is nice he will be at the wedding.and her brother is no on duty this week either.

one of my neighbourd ( who is a missionary ) has some others staying with him from Africa for the week., he is 6 feet t 6 inches tall and they must be about 5 feet 4 inches

see you later.

have a good day

Rita

A Smile for today.........

A Calculating Husband


A Middle-aged woman bought a pile of Cosmetics designed to knock years off her age.

After taking hours to carefully apply the various creams and potions, she asked her husband........

'Tell me honestly, darling , how old do you think I look ? '

The husband replied......

'From your skin, twenty three'

'From your hair, nineteen'

'From your figure, twenty-two'.

'Oh you flaterrer!' , she exclaimed.

'Hang-on' said hubby, 'I HAVEN'T ADDED THEM UP YET'

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Evening Linda,

Typing at the same time again eh !!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad your day went well.

What a surprise from that couple. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Evening George,

My favourite tipple is Barrs Irn-Bru. Chilled and in a glass.

I love Malt Whisky bur very seldom drink it . If I do it's only a small glass.

I have seen too many people brought down by drinking too much too often . It has made me very wary of making it a habit to take alcohol in any great quantity or on a regular basis.

Anyway as my surname is Barr......I should be on the Irn-Bru ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Evening
Well just back from the BBQ
Very cool out there now, so glad to be indoors.
A lovely time, met with some old friends and some neighbours and a teacher of our children !!! That was a surprise.

But the biggest surprise of all was when the man anounced that the couple had been together now for 25 years and they will be getting married in March next year. We did know that they weren't married as cards are not to Mr & Mrs. She was widowed with 3 young children, now all well grown up. So it was really nice to hear their news.

Sleep well my friends

Linda :-) <3

Evening all,

Hope everyone has had a lovely day today.

Stephen, having a wee dram eh.! enjoy. :-) :-)

George :-D

Deserted !

Everyone's deserted !

What a quiet Thread this has been today :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

I'm gonna have my tea now, then relax with my favourite tipple :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stephen, what they're doing is a trueur translation of the Latin :-0
Instead of
Priest: the Lord be with you
Us: And also with you.

It's now
Priest: The Lord be with you.
Us: And with your spiriit.

There are other changes are well!

Hope the Vodka making goes ok :-)
