I remember you mentioned the decorating, bet your glad it's finished. One if us always manages to touch the wet paint, normally the one who's just said, mind the wet paint Laughing

We won't even go into the amount of cameras and other such things that have either ended up going overboard on a boat fishing trip, or ended up in a river. The wedding ring stays behind now when he goes fishing and the camera and phone now have waterproof cases, which also float Smile

Good day...enjoying the rain, though it looks like it's little showers now.

How many of you in that long posting last page back...in the top of the second paragraph....manage to see the lightening like strike going through the text on the left hand side? Done by natural spacing of the words..it's one of those little " miracle" type things I notice in my work. I have an thing going with the bolt of energy in Michalangelo's picture at the sistine Chapel...of God using his fingertip.. to give mankind the breathe of life...I found it awesome one time.. and mentioned it to as I called him "Stoner Chris" 

I'll have to look up "Wheatly" someday Ron..what county are you in? Looks like it's close to either Cambridge or Suffolk if your close to Isleham..or is this the one close to Reading, England? 

Ron...here's something you might be interested to know if you don't already....I'll try to keep it short..it's the legacy of the Lawson, of Aldborough and Boroughbride legacies.  In 1530...George Lawson, knight, treasurer of Berwick, was Mayor of the city of York...son Thomas Lawson, of York also mayor of that city in 1562..married Christain, daughter of Hugh Atkinson, of Castleford in Yorkshire...George Lawson of Moreby baptized at Stillingfleet, 13 Nov. 1606 was in Holy orders and rector of at Eakring, Notts (nottingham ?) and married in 1656 Eleanor More of Normanton, in the county of Lincoln, died 1698...eldest son George Lawson, esq.

whom in 1680 married only daughter an heir of Elizabeth Bosville, Esq. Marmaduke Bosville, esp of Seaton Rosse, in the east Riding..who used the old name fo Marmaduke for "George"....their son inheits through hsi mother's side family...(and by now you might know that they were into the "War of Roses")..Thomas has the first son named "Richard" in it...rest are the eldest sons named George.One of those those had an daughter married into the family of  John Wilkinson,  of the middle temple, and his brother vicar of Sheifield, of Broom Hall, brother of James Wilkinson and boroughbridge in Yorkshire.thier son, Maramduke was esq. and distinguished  byemingence where he was Pitt's first scholar in 1814, he also won awards of  Sir William Brown's medals for the best latin Ode and Chancellor's metals for best classical excerises , an active magistrateand thrice sent ot parliment to represent Boroughbride,never married...he died 1823. Deprived of their estates, the connections of the Jessops and Wilkinson's along with the Robert Swift lineage m. the Jessops...restored the Lawson's estates...and the house of Lawson. An line of Barnham Swift whom was created in 1627 Viscount Carlingford...the Jessops were in the chancel of Shefield, where Judge Jessop's monument can still be seen. Their legacy goes into that of Lady John Murray. Francis Jessop, esp of Broom Hall baptized 1638, one of the earliest memebers of the Royal Society..h emarried his cousin Barbara Eyre, family of and esq of highlow...I won't go on any further because you can easily pick up the Lawson of Broon Hall family in other data, which includes Sir. John Lawson m. Catherine Howard, but by an William...the Howard line includes his wife Elizabeth Lawson. Francis Jessop daughter Elizabeth married into the REv. Thomas Burton, vicar of Halifax. This Sir John Lawson was ousted by the King Henry VII..he landed in Baltimore Maryland with the Howard family there.The Lawson lands were granted to  Robert Swift by 36th Henry VIII, which had previously belonged to Workshop Priory.  This is keeping this short because there were an lot of children from generation of George Lawson to the next named George also.  Ithink from what I've go tin other documents that the timing if off to start this line in 1530 though. John Lawson's records out of broom hall gives this family the name of Swinhoe...myself I think it goes back to Geroge Planegent and the Lionel or Thomas of Antwerp, duke of Clarence line..said to been of York also. They were NOT "Catholics"...though they may of worked foe them, bu tI can't find any data as to them having been Catholics except for Queen Mary...and that probably means they were the remeants of the Templar Knights whom were persecuted and "wiped out" for the most part by the Pope starting in 1300.  The Lawson family as Planegent's "founded" the "Templar Knights" in France off of the FRanks...who foundedthier lines supposedly off the direct family of "Jesus" ...more then on reason the old saying "God save the King/Queen"  Besides an connection with William the Conquorer....the Franks were also an  1382), Lord Justice of ireland..was the son of James Bulter..whom married Eleanoer de Bohun..daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hertford and Elizabeth..daughter of King Edward I of England.... Eleanor's son James Butler, 2nd Earl of ormond married Elizabeth Darcy..they show up in my Lawson papers also. BEcause most likey they were an line of Howards that became not "Darcy" but "Capt Edward Dorsey in mayland days. Sir John Darcy wsa an trsusted advisor to King Edward the third. and was appointed high sheriff of nottinhamshire and many more offices in 1319 and in Yorkshire 1327. After teh English took Dublin Castle...the branch of the Plangents became the "Duke of Clarence" until the "War of Roses" destroyed all them...mostly beheaded or execution. the line of the Dukes said from "antwerp" had some under Holy Orders and well placed in high places...and they I beleive are the Lewession for Lawson lineage coming out of Broom Hall. From the time of the templar knights under the service of St. Bernard of Clairvaux in FRance..and Lewes Priory...Richard de Clare in Clare Priory in Suffolk county, England you have some more family connected to Broom Hall. Ths name of "Clare" comes from FRance also as the templar knight "Sin Clair" family later on in Scotland. My notes say

that Geroge Plangent...Duke of Clarence in 1461 was invested as an knight of the Garter...he was the brother of King Edward IV and originated from the town of Clare, Sufflok Co.,..whcih was owned by Lionel of Antwerp and his wife Elizabeth de Burgh, 4th countess of Ulster..direct descentdent of the de Clare family. George Plangent's wife was said to been Isabella Neiville, Duchess of Clarence..born at Warwick Castle..she was thought to been poisioned..his daughter named Margeret Pole was killed at the Tower of London and later martyered by the church...and for the most part, one by one his chidlren are killed...as well as he supposedly.By then teh "War of Roses" is over and the  Royal Planegent name is never to go by the name thereafter. They probable survived as an branch of the Lawson's through Thomas of Antwerp/Clarence. Bernard of Clairvaux...1153 belonged to an cistercian order in FRance..hetraced the otulines of the rule of the templar knight's, who soon became the ideal of Christain nobilty. It to started out an Roman settlement. It was.....Home to the Dukes of Burgany 11th to the 15th centuries, Counts of the Carolingina Dynasty, the Basnid Dynasty, the Robertian Dynasty of French rulers, House of Captet, House of Valois, House of Hapsburg, House of Burbon.not to mention it was responisble of 48 monetaries and one pope (Named Eugene)througout Europe.

Ron, I could have some fun in your area...now that I looked up Wheatley and Reading England.  I'ts said there is an garden down the end of town some where. Well.   next to it..facing the fields you should have an castle/motel.  It should be laid out in this manner....onw wall of it made suitable for bigger kids to rock climb it...the interior of the castle should be 8  upstairs good sized bedrooms with pull down Murphy beds to accomodate children.  Other then that an sofa that makes into an bed also...well made one. There should be an fireplace in each room, and telescope to look over the fields, TV and movies avaialble in each room, tables for six people. Bathrooms/tub and shower. oO on end of the castle should be an bakery cottage/museum dedicated to the history of cultivating wheat, an dmaking flour out of it and serving freshly made bread/deserts/pastries. Next would be the Royal Banket Room..specializing in clay pot cooked  small meat/stews. It would have three huge fireplaces to heat the room with and incoprate hanging black cast iron kettles with soups and stews in them with on for rositeried larger cuts of meat...preferably Roasts. Clay pots can be used for whole chickens and rabbit and fish dishes. The center table would include candles and in season fresh fruit. or tarts and puddings. Herbal salads...and the dishes are set in front of the guests to imbibe and help themselves. They would pay at entering an set price...and people serve the basic dishes of food on the table.This way the food can be presented according to the number of guests. Flanking the sides of the Lobby should be two sets of stairway with two sets of elevators. The Lobby should be an gift shop and an library theme. On the other end of the castle should be an room with the Knight's in shining armor, thier history, and every three days an an Jostling and arching tournament and horse riding afterwards with ponies.  one level an dslightly into the ground should be an stage/theater where local kids can do "plays"...concerts" and "book/poem readings".on weekends. On the roof top of the castle, that should be glass enclosed there should be and astromicial section, and 3 four person hot tub area..(dressing/bath room) and small excerise equiptment area...with tread mill, rowing bikes, and stair climber. An area can be made with solar panels to heat the spa's with and the area in general on cooler days...and can open up to the sky in summer....and for star observation with help of an guide in that. You could maybe put beside the bakery shop..an bycycle shop....and bside that an small book shop...with occastional book authors signing their books....such as Bernard Cromwell... and some of your noted English authors also. One set  "fee" should cover the entire events at this castle/lodge....but you could cover with or without lodging..... and go from there. Eight rooms with 6 people capacity.... could net you 48 people per night. Per day, but ussually it takes the kids beinging ou tand tourist season to have full capacity...so  make your fees to cover around the year costs in the lodging, but not so much, it's rediculous and unaffordable to the average family. I don't think 400/500 dollars per 2 day stay is to much, for this caliber of lodging....Food can be charged separately.
