    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    Oh my Alberta I'm so sorry this is happening to Alice and I hope she keeps well and pain free. As long as she is enjoying her life and doing what she loves you can't do much else for her except spoil her rotten. You and Alice will know when the time comes: the last act of love you can do for...

    tidy up please

    Thank you so much Dennis, that's a big improvement; I'll have a fiddle with the scanner and see if I can change the resolution and if I can't then I'll ask one of the kids how to change it when they're here (if I remember) and post it again. Thanks again much appreciated. Josie

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    She really was beautiful Eric, she looks so happy and it's like she's smiling on the photo. This was taken many years ago too (possibly the same snow storm) it's of Molly and Rocky another of our dobes. I used to call him "Rockdog" sadly he suffered a stroke and died suddenly aged 7, he was a...

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    Lady Penelope, I know exactly what you mean about Eyam, we stayed overnight in the village pub there ages ago when our daughter graduated from Sheffield University and there is definitely something in the atmosphere. A really amazing place. No wonder Kvin chose his path carefully, as you say...

    tidy up please

    Would someone have a go at tidying this up for me please? It's my Mum and Dad with me about 1950 on Blackpool beach, can't believe dad was wearing a shirt and tie on the beach. I found it in Dad's wallet after he passed and it's just come to light again. Thanks

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    Lovely painting Eric, you're so talented. I love to see them running free in the woods. Years ago Molly, who is in the picture with my daughter wouldn't let me go down a particular path in the woods we always walked. She just blocked my way and was nudging me down another path we rarely...

    Lovely picture Phil, you can see how relaxed Zane is with your great grandson and what a lovely relationship there is between them. It makes my heart grin.

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    Unfortunately, there will always be such cases; as there will always be incidents of cruelty against animals, children and the elderly. I haven't heard of the incident you mention and feel dreadfully sad for all concerned. It is our responsibility when we welcome a dog into our homes to teach...

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    Thank you cookie273uk aka Eric and yes they are in Tally's bed, but she wasn't bothered she just got on the sofa and made herself comfy there. I'm sorry to hear about Sam, it is a huge loss when we lose our pets and as you say dobes are so special they don't call them "velcro" dogs for nothing...

    I Wonder What She's Thinking?

    You're welcome to your opinion Eric, as we are to ours. We have had many dobermanns over the years and we are quite happy for them to be in mixed company. The children are never with the dogs without an adult supervising (for the dog's protection as well as the children; children can be very...

    Absent Voters List Ww1

    This probably won’t help at all, I've found James Davis on the 1918 AVL at 56 Princip Street and have uploaded a copy below for your info/records. I have also found the following regarding the formation of the 5th Reserve, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, which might help someone else who...

    A little help Please

    Hi Stan, just to jog your memory re neighbour's names a little here's a copy of the 1935 electoral roll for your old address and a copy of the 1939 register with your parents and brother. The blacked out lines are those who were still living at the time of the release of the 1939 register a...

    Kings Heath Baths

    Not sure whether I have posted this in the correct place, please move if not. Brian, my brother-in-law, turned this up when he was going through some of his papers a while ago and has given me permission to post on here about it. When he was 12, in 1958, he was at the above baths and saw a...

    Just done a time line for Frank Whitting, if only to sort out the info we have discovered in my own head. I'll put it on here just in case there is something glaringly obvious to someone that I've missed. Something I noticed whilst checking it over was in 1911 there is a visitor to the family...
