Poor lonely little thread - cant believe a whole year has passed.
I am very guilty of not popping over at Christmas & New Year
Hope everyone is keeping well and growing their tree.
Not a lot changes - getting older - Still working
OH thinking of retiring - i am still at work.
Think with the mortgage and bills i will end up being the Miss Haversham of the office - wheeled out when needed cobwebs and all
Well if anyone is still around - let me know how you are.

Hi
I'm still around, but spending less time on here than I used to.
We're still well, OH doing better than me ............... and he turned 80 last year :-0
Any travelling we do now is all within Canada, by train :-D . We spent a week in Jasper in early October last year, there and back by train. Then went to Nova Scotia for Christmas with the daughter ....... 6 days each on the train, only 1 of which was in a hotel (in Toronto). No long distance travel.
Good to hear from you.

Lovely to hear from you Sylvia - still see a few people pop up now and then - not heard from Robert or Arthur.
I was watching Road to avonlea which is in theory Prince Edward island and saw the Train across Canada series - it looks beautiful. One day if I ever get to retire and we can afford it - we want to do the Rocky Mountaineer.
I have a fascination for Quebec - Chateau Frontenac & Heights of Abraham as well as Chateau Lake Louise and Banff. Having seen Anne of Green Gables and Avonlea I want to go that way too now. We will get there one day.
Take care and keep well - Mother in law not so well nearly 95 and everything seems to be stopping on her bit by bit. She is very fed up now and so confused. they had to take her in hospital a few weeks ago as she had her 4th mini stroke.

Hi Anne & Sylvia
All is well with me and the girls.
Recently returned from a holiday in Kyrkyzstan where I saw some wonderful plants.
Have not had much time for Family History. I have, with help from my sister, converted my main bedroom into a study. My bedroom is now what was my second bedroom. The aim is to provide me with space to handle my hobbies better. I am now sorting through all the material I have accumulated on my family over many years. I have bought a new PC with a very large monitor and will use this to sort my photos and videos.
I am planning to visit Scotland in the autumn to attend a weekend organised by an alpine club. I will take the.opportunity to visit the town where my mother's great grandfather was born
My local cattery is suffering under new legislation brought in last October to deal with puppy farms and pet shops. The legislation requires that cattery runs are a certain size and a Council official plus vet have been visiting to measure runs.
I regard the cattery I use to be amongst the very best and this is reflected in it being fully booked for most of the year. In spite of this it has been deemed to have significant deficiencies and changes are required to meet the legislation.
It is a postcode lottery as if the cattery was located 100 metres further along the road it would be in a different district where a cattery I have used (and think to be similar to my current cattery) has been given 100% approval.
An appeal to the local MP has met with no help - too occupied with Brexit.
Capacity at catteries has already been reduced by 40% and costs have increased.
I intend to write to my MP - he has been very good in the past.
Keep well
Arthur
