How about this for a clever, accidental photo. We had our now annual oldies gathering a 'Saga Weekend' , so called by the next generation down. We had a good time of fun and reminiscing and updates on children, grandchildren etc. Thence deteriorating into the three P's of pensions, pills and politics. It was reasonable weather back then and five of us had a good walk up and down the hills around while HoF went to the Remembrance Day service to support the new rector. We had our two minute silence leaning on a gate looking over towards my ancestral home in the woods.
Now we are very busy, which means spending long hours on computers. Firstly there's the next village newsletter to get out and HoF is still researching formats whilst I try and slim down the articles and write an editorial and send all of for proof-reading. Then there's booking a Christmas trip to H and family. Next is checking the Excel lists of presents to buy and cards to send and subsequent online research. After that there is transcribing local parish registers, and finally there is making the most of my subscription to explore the 1911 census. Just as well perhaps that it's pouring with rain so there is no need to feel guilty about the garden, and too gloomy to notice the dust piling up. I have even been neglecting the making of menus, so that tells you something.
