This one at the Aston Hipp would cause a bit of a hullabaloo now, the Chocolate coloured coon. .

A bit baffled by this: Grandad's workplace is listed as Wakefield Timerlliers, he was a silversmith.

I got an email today with 'hints' from Ancestry, lots of them, for the 2021 census, quite a bit of stuff on there that I didn't know like the names and work places of my granddad etc.

I did that last Christmas (2023) with a card but no response.

I don't really Janice just haven't heard from her for a couple of years and the phone number doesn't work, should make the effort and get up there but it's a long way for me and I've not been well enough. You have the correct lady though, she was born Quain then somehow became a Baggot before...

Our place was 'up the gully' a hill that hadn't been built on between Sidcup Road and Ellerton Road Kingstanding, on the left side of the footpath was allotments on the right just open land, for a time the local lads used the top of it as a cycle speedway. I believe it's all built on now.

When the bombing had died down those curved sheets made lovely sledges. ;)

Just looked out these pants which I still wear occasionally for 'best'. I wonder how old.;)
