We remember Christmases and holidays and events of the past with fondness and humour.
John has been going through the old slides from the 60s and 70s and converting them into jpeg files. Often forgotten people, places and events are being re discovered.

I have gone back to sorting through all the information we have about our ancestors from various branches of the family. I began this when I first retired 4 years ago with the plan to make an interactive collection of stories and photographs . In the mean time the Ipad has come into vogue and as a viewing tool is so easy to use that I am converting the images into PDF files so that they can be viewed as E books. These can easily be printed if necessary as well.
People are coming back to life on our screens and their stories are much more interesting than anything that is on our television screens at the moment.
So much research by so many people!!!!!!!!!!
I particularly love this connection..... I guess I wouldn't be here if Henry I didn't have his illegitimate children ;-)))
This is a sample of the finished product...
