Nothing in Salisbury ........... (as yet!)

Have had heavy rain this morning - and a series of stunning double rainbows

Yes please NL

Just an update - I have been in contact with Aunt (91) she confirms Zoar Chapel, Gornal Wood - in fact she was a bridesmaid!

Again many thanks for the help given

Hair done - so can concentrate now!!! Thanks a lot for your help on this - I really think I'm going to have to trouble the Aunts on this one - two wedding venues?, and two possible death dates?. I think the Cambourne Cornwall is the more likely, as they eventually lived in St Austell. However will s...

Marion Edith Hale was the wife of Albert Parsons (1906) - through family records I have her as b.1903 (where?) and dying 1986 but again where? (could poss. be St Austell Cornwall). I also have a wedding date c1942 but again no place name mentioned (could be St Lukes Cradley) but nothing in records. ...

Sue - What are books 7 and 8 called - also the short story - I can't get enough of this author.

Do you know why and how The Gallows Bird became The Stranger?

Bearwood - well fancy - we didn't go to Bearwood we went up the Bear!! Having lived in Smethwick (no it isn't Smerrick!) for many years this post was a trip down Memory Lane. My Aunt managed the sweets and tobacco shop Thorntons, next door was Freeman, Hardy Willis and a couple of doors lower down w...

"I've got a super book for you to read" said my hairdresser "It's really really good". With trepidation I looked at what she was handing me -- Camilla Lackberg -- never heard of her! She insisted I take it (she runs a lending library to her clients). A Scandanavian thriller that'...

I used to make Lemon Drizzle Cake on a regular basis when the grandchildren were small - however my grandson always referred to it as Lemon Dribble cake (and still does!). A bit off putting don't you think?

Oh no - I'm feeling so guilty - have only just bought the Christmas cards and have still to write them.

An author I have recently 'found' is Kate Furnivall - obtainable on Amazon. They are mainly based in Russia at the turn of the century and I found them hard to put them down. I read them in old fashioned way - held in my hands with manual page turning - I believe they were called books!! My friend l...

I believe John Lewis is the only store that sells Kindles - price the same as Amazon. Of course if you have a JL near
you would be able to get a demo and advice from the sales staff. My daughter went down to Southampton to
investigate and found them very helpful.

I like the sound of these but wonder how they work is it sound or print that you read, and if it's print is it large enough to read, I have to get the large print books from the library. Annie Annie - if you are seriously interested in e-books, I would suggest you try downloading the software onto ...

Well said Mark
