First Post

Well at the beginning of 2010 I thought that I should start a Family Website/Blog. I used to have one until the service provider, no names no pack drill, suddenly decided to take the site down without warning. Thanks to the Burlesdon Blogger run by my friend Max I decided that if he could run one so could I.

I trust that you all had a good Christmas and New Year and that you are enjoying the white stuff that seems to be covering all of England's "Green and Pleasant Land".

We had a good time, the weekend before Christmas we, that is all our children plus other halves, gathered together. It was the first time that we have all been together since I turned 60 a couple of years ago. For the very first time we have a photo of the whole group.

    What a great start to your blogging career. Within four hours you have women asking how long you will keep it up.

    Lovely to see the whole family together !
    I few more years, and I imagine we will be filling up a big couch nicely like that too ;-)

    I like this idea of a Blog as I tend to ramble to myself too long on the facebook. I took my inspiration for an annual family newsletter come website from Aunt Janice Lee, perhaps I will take some inspiration for a Blog from you ! Don't hold your breath though, I'm just now catching up on a dozen years of TV, movies, and books !

    Oh, yes, and the family tree is another big project for the future ...
