Bloggers do it .....................

Welcome to my blog - good day to you all

Do come on in and take a walk into the past.

This is a record of family and places from my family tree. Researching my family tree is an ongoing project with lots of brick walls to knock down.

Names included in my family tree are: Allsop(p), Boyes, Crooks, Dobson, Richmond, Wood.

I hope that maybe someone out there is researching the same tree as myself and that we can be of help to each other - so if you recognise anyone/anything please get in touch it would be great to hear from you.

Do also take a look at my others blogs, thanks.


Enjoy.

Especially for Kitten on my birthday.

Now, I know Kitten has looked at my old school photos cos Gingeyginge told me she had. I did ask them to let me know which kids she picked out as me to see if she was correct but as yet I haven't had a reply. So - because it's my birthday today I am going to publish the next photo especially for them to see what they think of me when I became a teenager.

Here goes folks:

Me in 1969 at 13 years of age, in my school uniform, cardigan knitted by my Mam as usual.

Have I changed much? - lol.

Local views 11 January 2010











































The only bits of water that aren't frozen at the moment are in the lock and at the exit of the lock!!!!

There's actually a barge on the canal at the moment which someone must be living on because they were stoking up when I took the photo below, you can just see the smoke on the left of the photo:

The White Horse on the hilside at Kilburn, North Yorkshire, England.







Unfortunately when we visited Kilburn it was a bit of a dreary wet day and the poor horse on the hillside was in definite need of repair.  Perhaps they were preparing to remake it.

I wonder if they've tidied him up again yet!  Must go back again and take a look sometime.

Christmas decorations removed.

Just checked in to remove all the Christmas decorations as they must be down by Twelfth Night otherwise it is unlucky - (if you're superstitious).

I think I've taken every one down, just got to put them all back in their boxes until next time - if you spot any I've left hanging around do let me know.
