Glad tp hear that the sunshine is making it's return after all you have been through so far in the UK.

Ron and others in repair also.... bodily

Took down the Valentine's red and pink and we went into green and gold an vanilla white for St. Patrick's day with an wee tidbit of herbal mention, an few stautes of  fairies abound among the greenery...as Spring and Easter comes up next.  I bought me an puzzle also, with an rainbow to one side of an castle.Thinking of you all over there. made my mound of roast beef chunk's with onions and carrots, and two baked potatoes topped with creamed spinach and sprinkling of cheese on top and parsley..these new plates I have now take an bit of inventive thinking to use all the room up on them...so added fresh apple to above...should of been biscuits.A nice ale sounded good to me also, but didn't have any around. I guess I have the grandson tonight.... for President's Day tomarrow, school is out. So means I won't be writing for an bit..that's OK, even I need the rest from that at times also.When I stop the genealogy and go back to the book, I'd like to put an bit in it about Randlesham air force base and the UFO incident there. I ran across some information the other day about the ancient times in northcumblerland and how the original "brigantes" use to worship this goddess..and translated, the name meant, Those of " High elevated"..t'was the year around about 2500 bc..You know when those guys finally cracked the Randlsham code they had been given by aduction on an UFO...that it pointed to an ancient island off the side of Ireland...one up until now had been an myth..but I wonder if it isn't an real kind of "Avalon" of it's day..shrouded in an mist, an place where time stood still and others knew little of it's existence...gave way to the Celtics later on in Ireland...maybe an UFO base of some kind, soem speculate "Atlantis" naturally....and the  UFO code was trying to tell us to look into it. I think this has something to do with the original 12 Fisher Kings" also. But anyway...I guess I better pop out and keep the grandson busy and happy until he heads back to his house tomarrow. Talk later on.

Your welcome Ron....say spring has Sprung once again...I'm planted and giving off bulbs like crazy as they are shooting up stems...I had the grandson over last night, we planted the tub washer sized one an took it over to my brother's house for his wifey's birthday...sent them home for with some for thier flower pots also.  My crocus out back are blooming, yes, first bloom already. I don' tknow if I'll get the book writing down or not before it's time to go out and work in the year again. Both sides of my writing is important. Beign an intuitive for the genealogy work, but also in the application of writing things that people are passing by that was important to our history...we may need the knowledge again to survive some day...you just never know. With people changing things these days to suit themselves...someone needs to preserve the past in it's truth also. I've never seen any of them twll us who was George
Lawson's wife...but the OLD papers I picked up on him some 40 years ago ot thereabouts...tells me her name was Grace...so I looked whom was in his life around that time...I think her name was Grace Hollis...daughter of William Hollis, Lord Mayo rof London at one time. he had an brother named Thoms also, whom had an daughter named Grace around this time also. In one record they are being called Folis, rather then Hollis. Later on they may of been an "Ellis" family also. The "H" in the name tells me the ones I'm looking at had Scottish legacy during that time also. They don't thave such good records beyond the names of their rulers. Maybe because Queen Elizabeth I sent over  Major General Thomas Lucus to oust their Barons out so she could give their castles to her friend for summer cottages..or so I read one time. the PLantagents took Dublin way before her and were living in Edinbergh Scotland as anRoyal Palce back before her also. I guess when you consider all the wars and occupations by various forces, we are lucky to have an legacy most the time. 

WEll, I'm tired..grandson is with his parents....but we went through four games of cards, three board games, and three puzzles of which I have the last one ti finsish off myself...and huge peacocks in full spread feathers and colors. WE had quite an bit of wind last night, it kept me awake..but it didn't blow down those half hanging tree limbs out front.  Just had an wee bi tof hail an bit ago also, but drove out of it giving my Brother an newspaper article about designing around pots, "rocks" in various colors and patterns. He has such alllergy problems you know.Though I doubt even all cement woudl help his to much. Needs to strengthen his immune system...it might help.

I go for now..have an good day...flowers are coming up now!

Hi to all from a painful Ron in Wheatley. Huh, does that make sense?

Despite the great care, I wouldn't recommend this TKR to anybody unless it is absolutely necessary.
