For You Lady Di  no problem 8) to travel to Ware,
 it is only a couple of hours away, but I shall use it for an excuse to stay a night or two ;D

It was my old hunting ground after all ::)

I am frightened of Morris dancers along with clowns, so I will need a whiskey or three for medicinal purposes,  am so looking forwards to it,
 oh, and they do have Mummers that come round the pubs and frighten me as well, it is a funny old place is Ware.

Oh, that's excellent news Jakky  ;D

But now I am going to have to admit my ignorance (AGAIN!!) and ask about "Mummers"  ???

I'm not surprised that my ancestors left town if they have all these "funny/strange" things going on  ;)

I'll keep in touch

Di,

Have a fabulous time. I look forward to the day I can make a trip to ancestral lands. Paint me green here.

I have a cousin who has a deep loathing of mummres and will leave any parade featuring them. Maybe something in her childhood.

Hi
I am fine thanks I am really looking forward to a meet at last...............must admit I havent been on here much lately I have been researching another branch of Rons family and it has been time consuming but have amassed a group from all over us, canada, australia its amazing how travelled the families were years ago I sometimes think they travelled more then than now........and we thought it was a modern thing.

Hi Kath, Sandie and Linda,

Yippee! - If I hadn't heard from you, Granny Sandie (congrats BTW), in a few days I would have PM'ed you anyway. Wonders will never cease - the kitchen is FINALLY finished. What a busy year you have had  ;D (and all good by the sound of things)

I'm SO thrilled that you'll be able to make it to Ware - we almost have our Club back intact - lookout Ware - here we come!!  ;D

Sandie - I don't know if I'd rely on Keith to keep you up to date - you know nothing comes between a man and his bowels bowls  ;)

Kath - I STILL dont know what Mummers/Mummres are - Oh darn it - I'll go look it up!! (for a change  ;D)

Hi Linda - looks like you could have a few "visitors" in June - should we have the 175th anniversary of the Ware Big Dinner in the original High Street?  ;) (could be dodging a few cars by the look of WebCam!!)

Yippee! ONLY 107 days 'til I leave  ;D ;D ;D

Di
