I have decided to get out the maps of Canada and England and try to locate where everyone is. I think it will give new meaning to all the people I have met here just to know where they are from where I am.

You'll need a bigger map than that to find me!

Oh my golly! I guess I had better try and behave myself or you may just set them on to me!

I have no idea who they are - for all I know you could be one of them.

Well, I don't know... Any rellies I might have in England would have to be very distant (and I don't just mean geographically!) I am a great-great-granddaughter of the great-grandson of James Hargreaves of Spinning Jenny fame. (I think I got all the "greats" in there). Um, some ancestors also come from around Aysgarth, Wensleydale, in Yorkshire. Hubby will also tell you that some probably come from a London zoo... Oh, and I'm a whole quarter Irish somewhere in all of that, too. Does that make me sound like a cousin? ...and then my heart with pleasure fills,
and dances with the daffodils. Wordsworth (1770-1850) |

nah, mine were all from Christchurch and Salisbury - Wiltshire and Hampshire. I do be from the West Country originally and my peasant ancestors didn't move around the country much until that great emmigration in the mid 20 century when they ran off to New Zealand.

It's not weird that I was born in Christchurch, NZ. And only possibly weird that your rellies were born in Christchurch, UK. But it is certainly weird that you thought I was born in Christchurch, NZ, before I said so.

I thought I had remembered you saying it from a different thread - I'm not psychic. It was why I wrote Christchuch in the first place - it's only a little place and most people would (well in England anyway) would recognise Bournemouth but not Christchuch, I thought if you had a connection there you would notice!

Yay, I probably did say somewhere that I was born in Christchurch, NZ, come to think of it. I have actually been to Christchurch in England. It has the River Avon flowing through it, doesn't it? Same as Christchurch in NZ (although not the same river, of course!)  Right, I'm signing off now. I'm about to have a glass of a rather nice sauv blanc with my hubby... Chat with you folks again soon. G'night peoples. ...and then my heart with pleasure fills,

G'night Quilty, yes the Avon comes through there as well as the Stour at Wick Ferry. I love to walk on Hengistbury Head and blow the cobwebs away - haven't been there for years. Enjoy the wine!
love and kisses, Jan
