Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your kind words.

Well it turns out that Blondy and I are 1/4 cousins!!!  We were both born in the same village and our families lived on the same streets for years and are interwined throughout the years but somehow lost touch, but those things do happen and it's not like the 'old' days now is it????!!!!

I can just imagine my Grandparents and Blondys; seeing each other every day and working together etc, going to the corner shop for their loaves, etc!!!!
I am still so thrilled and excited and we are trying to piece together things still.

Will keep you informed as we are a huge family and may just need some help still!

Thanks again
Jackie
