Granny's Tales and Treasures
My plan to something each month has slipped somewhat. The trouble is, I have used up most of the ready-written 'low hanging fruit' and now it takes longer to create material to upload. This month I have managed to present you with some memories of visiting and living in Sandown and Lake, on the Isle of Wight and I've also uploaded a short video about my Smith ancestors, which was aimed at my young grandchildren.
I've managed to add my memories of my junior school in the last month, as well as writing about the family's collection of crested china. I have also changed the access to some more treasures, so you can either click on the titles to be taken to a webpage, or click on the images to access a pdf. I have uploaded most of the low-hanging, ready-written memories now, so it is starting to take me longer to create new content. Patience please!
Having just moved house, this month has mostly been about unpacking various treasures, rather than writing about them. You can now read about Clara's Carpet Chair and also about more of my Northumbrian ancestry, with the story of the Eadington family. This line is my possible route to a direct ancestor that was born, or at least baptised, outside England. Not yet 'inked in' but a distinct possibility of some potential kilt-wearing.
I have also made more stories and treasures available as pages, rather than just pdfs, to help those accessing this site on a phone. It is going to be a long job to convert them all but I'll get there.
