In my view, we need to be aware of both of our parents' sides of the family tree. It is how it will complete our lives knowing them. Unfortunately, I do not know my mom's relatives or parents. When she was still alive, she never...

pumpkinjam @Aquitaine24 As far as I know, there were no business owners. They were all miners or factory workers. It started to change a little with some of my mum's generation on her side, and my generation has been much more mixed with our employment.

pumpkinjam @Jehanne Luckily, we don't have many bad tempered customers, and we are trained to deal with them. Our main problems are people who can't hear properly, people being given our number for everything whether it's appropriate or not, and some people who ramble...

pumpkinjam @Aquitaine24 Going back several generations, my family didn't move very far, they had much the same jobs, and there is little evidence that any of them were any more than average working class people. I'm not saying it's not interesting to learn about the...

Sort of weird to think about I guess but I was thinking of all the things I've done in my life and the interesting memories. Then I started thinking about the things I haven't done. That I had on a bucket list I had compiled but...

pumpkinjam @celticeagle I like being in and around water. My husband wouldn't go on a cruise (well, I might persuade him to go on one of those river cruises somewhere not too warm! He's OK with water as long as he can see the bottom. He doesn't care how deep or shallow...

pumpkinjam I'm glad you're inspired. As I was talking to someone today, they asked how I would fit in additional activities. I'm really not sure at times. I just so things and don't sleep

pumpkinjam A new home is quite exciting. We had a little snow here. Thankfully, it had mostly cleared before we travelled and didn't affect any of our plans! I'm glad you liked the pictures. I mainly keep photos on Facebook. This week's album contains 504 pictures, I...

pumpkinjam I think it has been a few months since I've been here. I remember you telling us about your husband. How have you been? Is there a lot of work to be done? I do intend to stick around but my head is so full that sometimes some things just fall out of it.

pumpkinjam It is quite a long post. I do tend to waffle I began in youth theatre. I'd been out of it for a while (it's been a very long time since I was a youth) until I returned to the stage last year! It's only ever been amateur. I had missed it but...

pumpkinjam @AmbiePam yes, that's the one. I think it's Christina Ricci that plays the best friend. We're waiting for the next Wolf Creek film. When the first was made, they didn't know who the killer was. Now they do.
