OT Can we have a roll call.
Nice of you to drop in. We are expecting more snow tomorrow. My great grandmas came from Scotland, Wales and Norfolk so I am a bit of a mixture. Hugs Shirley In message , Heather writes Hi Shirley..... Hope you are not totally snowed in. We have a couple of feet of the stuff over here. Odd that the Navy didn't see to registering the boys in England, but I suppose it wasn't needed if Malta was a member of the British Commonwealth. I shall tuck that tidbit away in case I ever run across something like that. Our ancestors were mainly British and Scottish, with a touch of Spanish for good measure. (G) All the best.....Heather "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ... There are records but not in UK. They have Maltese birth certificates written by hand in lovely copperplate writing. I had the foresight to get a copy of each before we left Malta. They have one and I have one. There is no record of them in the public record office in London. They could have had duel nationality but are solely British born of British parents in a British commonwealth country, as Malta was then. Shirley In message , Beadbimbo writes How interesting that there is no record of your sons' birth, Shirley! I was born in England (My did was Air Force.) but I still got a birth certificate! Thank goodness, knowing my parents, if I hadn't had one, I'm sure they would have told me I was hatched! -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk -- Shirley Shone http://www.allcrafts.org.uk |

Wow. We're rubbing cyber-elbows with the mayor!!
-- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com wrote in message ... Hi Shirley - I stop by often to read the posts and to check to see that you're okay (really! I worry about you!) but as I'm not doing anything but selling beads at the moment, I don't like to just post ads and then run. I have very limited time to do any online posting as I was elected mayor of our little town (very, very little - 850 or so population) last November, my husband is on the road six weeks at a time training new truck drivers for the company he works for, which leaves me with all the household stuff to do myself, and I'm still selling beads on eBay. Add in several indoor cats and a group of strays outside and our large veggie garden and several flower gardens that need work year round, I'm pretty short on time! I thought of you on Monday when London virtually shut down for the day because of snow. I was trying to figure out why the Underground was mostly shut down when the trains run underground. I almost emailed you to ask about it. I hope you enjoyed seeing the snow and weren't inconvenienced by it. It seems such a rarity in England these days. I remember your robin very well - I hope a new one will soon make your garden its home!

Annie here......long, long time member, but alas, I do not post on a
frequent basis, tho I do read several times a week. Shirley, I think of you often. Here in Northern California we have thousands of robins that winter over here and it always reminds me of you and your robin. I am also lucky enough to be able to see a pair of bald eagles every now and then.. Birdwatcing is a daily activity for me. I have my beading table set up so I can watch the birds out on the deck at the same time as jewelry making. -- Annie acbauer@sbcglobal cast the net to snare me |

Barbara Forbes-Lyons here. Been posting on RCB since about 2000
(according to Google Groups). Don't do much beading these days - but still love them. Working in Polymer Clay, Metal Clay and Chain Maille as well as altered art/mixed media. Some pics at http://www.flickr.com/penguintrax I can also be found on Facebook and Twitter. My day job is in tech: web site hosting & design, documentation, testing, etc. Mama to the bright light of my life, Avner. Married to Jon, a guy that's as handy as a pocket on a shirt (according to my friend Ellen). Fur kids include the dawgs Bubba & Babes and a stuck-up cat, Scimitar. My dear feline friend Ubu left us 3 years ago, come 2/21. Barbara Bead & Polymer Clay Habitué There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

At the moment I am working on the family history. Since both our sons were born in Malta whilst DH in the Royal Navy. There is no record of their birth in UK. So I thought anyone trying to do the FH in the distant future could come unstuck. So I thought I had better set to work on it while I can. Since our back garden is still in the throes of a makeover to make it easier to maintain, I took the pictures down on my web site. I have replaced them with pictures of the wild robin I tamed to feed from my hand. Alas though it is with us no more. Keep hoping another will come bobbing along for me to try my luck with. So come on lots hear from you and build the ratings back up on this group. Hugs Shirley |

Thanks for checking out my site! I need to get some more items listed
and I need to find a way to take better pics. My camera is not very good!

You've done some neat new stuff, Barb!! Love the watches. I'd like to try
PMC one day too. That's a great picture of you (the April one), and I love the name badge! A few friends have tried to get me on facebook, so I just set that up. I still don't understand most of it!
