I thought so - we had a discussion about green cards a while back.  I'm so sorry about your Dad's passing, Sue and I'm glad you're now back safe and well.  Is the Ireland trip still on?


Thank you, Ruth.

Yes, we are still going to Ireland. Heading out on the 23rd, so next Friday.

Glad to hear it, Sue.  You'll have to let us know what sites you'll be visiting.  This last trip we visited Drumlane Abbey in County Cavan and in the more touristy County Meath, we visited Kells, Bettystown beach, Newgrange, and Trim Castle.  In Dublin we visited Trinity College and saw the book of Kells, the Guiness brewery and one sunny day we took the city bus up to Malahide castle.  I hope you have a GREAT time and a wonderful anniversary.

Thanks for posting a couple of my shots, Diana.  The CS Lewis one in B&W didn't look as dark on my computer as it does on the site.  It was a fabulous tour.

I am glad you enjoyed the tour, Ruth. I too enjoyed it very much and can't wait to do it again! During the entire time I was on the tour I'd think, this is where C.S. Lewis stood, or sat, or walked...lol. It was an incredible experience for me.

Oh yeah, and the chap who gave the tour wasn't half bad either. WinkLaughing

Thanks Diana; just messing about with a new toy I got yesterday to see if it worked. Smile

Looks like it worked very well indeed, Paul, though I imagine the skill of the photographer had something to do with it too!

I thought that looked somewhat familiar--I have direct Hinton ancestors who held property in Chilton Foliat in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Anthony Hinton (my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-great grandfather; d. 1599--buried in the church of St. Andrew, Wanborough, Wilts.) owned Chilton Lodge in Chilton Park, as well as the nearby manors of Hayward, Earlscott (aka Earlscourt) and Eddington. These passed to his son Sir Thomas Hinton (my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-great grandfather; d. 1635). Chilton Foliat is a pretty little village with a very nice church (St. Mary) built of flint, ashlar and rubble stone. Thanks for the photo, Paul.
