Have a lovely time in Rome. Lots and lots of love Cathy

Bournemouth Weekend

Train was 30 mins laie, but we made it in the end and duly arrived in our hotel at about 4pm
We had a lovely weekend; rekindled old friendships and made some new friends and had some good food and drinkies.
Left there at 2pm today and were home in my friend's car by 3.30, with Mum busting!
Stitches come out tomorrow and then I can have a full shower. 4.20pm in Brackley.
Have you all heard from Elegant Resorts?
Love to all, especialy Ju-Ju who will be 50 on Tuesday. Our love to him and to you all from Dad and Mum

Off to Bournemouth

We are hopefully catching the 10.55 from Banbury to Bounemouth this morning for a Catenian weekend at the Marsham Court Hotel, East Cliff. Taxi is due at 10.20. Shoulder is still stiff and painful; this typeing does not help much. All packed and ready to go. See you soon. Back on Sunday. Love from Mum and Dad

Bit of a chuckle

We would like to be able to share old photos like this scanned out of albums.

Facebook groups and a Flickr groups have been organised so check your inboxes and dig out those passwords.

Lord Bills have a pretty good shared archive going on at the moment and something like this would do the job for us but without it being public.
At the moment it's by invitation only... have you got yours?

Katy is my..

Second cousin, if your father and her parent are first cousins; third cousin if your father and her parent are second cousins, and so on.

If you are in the same generation, you just add 1 to the degree.
Children of 1st cousins are 2nd cousins.
Children of 2nd cousins are 3rd cousins.
Children of 3rd cousins are 4th cousins.
and so on.

Removed is when you are not in the same generation. You keep the degree and add one "removed" for every generation.

Your dad or mom's 1st cousin is your 1st cousin once removed.
Your grandparents' 1st cousins are your 1st cousins twice removed.
Your great grandparents' 1st cousin is your 1st cousin three times removed.

And so on - if the cousin is a 2nd, 3rd, 4th - or a 12th, for that matter - again, you keep the degree and add removeds.

Removeds go "down" family trees too. If your 1st cousin has a child (grandchild), those children will be your 1st cousins once and twice removed.
