Dea Xxx

Good morning all.......thank you for breakfast Sylvs.........I'd better stick to the porridge I think. :-D


I'm glad your OH was impressed by the new person......hope it lasts and that you-know-where is invigorated and renewed....... :-D


Also, enjoy your trip but I know it will be a bitter/sweet experience.


Dea and I will do our bestest :-D

Mornin all,

The world has gone white again, the snow is about 4" deep round here and it has just started to snow again.

The road surface outside however is clear of the stuff. I must compliment my local council who now send the gritting lorries out whenever there is even a hint that the temperature is likely to go down to zero. Yesterday evening for example a gritter came past on at least 3 occasions. That was not the case some years ago when we rarely saw one in the area where I live, maybe a local councillor now lives in the road. ;-)

Mornin all~~~~

Jonesey, our roads are not cleared by the council but contractors, I think they are a French company called 'Amey' and although I am against contracting out, they have done a good job over this last few weeks

Sister looks the picture of health, all things considered. We had a real old chuckle yesterday, talking about the old days etc.....

She's just finished refurbishing her flat, it looks beautiful, New England style furnishings, really relaxing feel to it

She didnt go to church yesterday, the weather wasnt good so she stayed home, warm and snug. Me and No1 son left just at the right time, the snow was quite heavy on the way home and we have about 3 inches of it now :-(

Phone hasnt stopped ringing this morning...........students wanting their results!

More tea is needed me thinks.............

Nice to hear that you had such a good time with your sister yesterday Ginns <3

Sylvia hope the trip goes ok the new vicar sounds good is he shaking out the cobwebs ;-)

Gins glad you had a nice day with your sister. <3


We have managed to escape the snow so far :-D :-D

Had a 'phone call summoning me back to 'you can guess where' tomorrow at 5pm.

Wish me luck folks - I feels a little bit 'scaredy' !

Dea Xxx

We'll all be with you, in spirit Dea <3

Thank you Ginns - I could do with a brandy !!! :-D (Is that the 'spirit' you had in mind ???);-)

Dea Xxx

Your mates from here will all be sat in the waiting room, then take you for a cuppa and a cake after <3

On the 1911 Irish Census my my GGF & GGM appear.
Francis & Rosanna Irvine
He is shown as a labourer aged 72....comendable

At the bottom,because he could not write his wife signed for him to which he added his mark,a diagonal cross.

I find that quite humbling in a generation where many people half his age can read and write,but have no intention of working.

So very true David ! :-(

Of course 1911 was long before all sorts of benefits were conceived.
