That was an afternoon well spent with one of life's true Gentlemen, all that is on the CPGW database is now on board this PC and there is much material not otherwise accessible, ie articles from other newspapers, pics and plans of all the overseas war cemeteries and memorials, in short the full mont...

The going is still a bit heavy and there has been little time for relaxation. However, yesterday I saw a WW1 Lorry pass here but didn't have time to identify it, still capable of a good speed though! This afternoon John Richardson of Threshfield and the CPGW site is coming over to load all of their ...

This arrived in my inbox from Canada this morning:- Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing b...

Anyone who has read the last two posts will probably have gathered that something has "Brassed" me off a bit, and yes it has. The past two months have been difficult, but apart from trade skills I have been able to draw on the considerable training and experience I gained in the Navy, most...

Another blow has just been dealt. We have just been told that the wifes Sister Liz who's husband Patrick died two weeks ago has had a breakdown and is now in the less pleasant part of Burnley Hospital. This is not good.

The happiness was short lived. We have just been informed that her Sister who's Husband died two weeks ago has had a breakdown and is now in Burnley Hospital.

At last work on our kitchen is almost complete so I will shortly be able to learn how to drive in this new site, and continue with my research. Thanks to something that arrived through the back door of my computer recently which by degrees was preventing me from accessing the onboard tools I had to ...

Thank you for asking Moh. There is no news of the driver yet but six weeks on and we have some progress with the injury. The massive dressings were removed on Thursday and Joan was able to bathe her foot for the first time, cue large quantities of dead skin etc, it looks much better this morning and...

I posted last week about the death of Patrick Borman, the funeral details are as follows: A funeral Service will be held at St, Josephs RC Church at 1300 on Thursday the 8th of March followed by a Family Burial at Ghyll Cemetery. Following this will be a celebration of Patrick's life at the Rolls Ro...

Ian, I have just been looking at the pics I took at Ghyll and comparing it with the list of names you gave me last Sunday, I came up with this this one, Pte, Alice Seymour ATS Killed in 1944, do you have this girl in your data?

I seem to recall that Davy Jones was a pupil at Giggleswick Grammar School.

Good news is infrequent, whereas the other stuff appears to come in multiples of three and is more frequent. The wife continues to make progress, yet if there is still a problem in six months time, surgery may be required, that was the opinion of the doctors at Airedale Hospital this morning. On our...

I would like to add my thanks for that post Ken, it is indeed good news and will reduce greatly any of the problems that we may have encountered.

I have been asked by my Sister in Law, Liz Borman, to post this here as the local paper will not carry this until next friday. Her Husband Patrick Borman passed peacefully away just after seven o clock this morning. Born at Barrowford, Patrick had lived in Barlick since about 1960, for 45 years he w...

At last a short break from domestic requirements, gained whilst awaiting a delivery. I confess that I have not yet had the time to learn much about this new site other than the bare essentials and all the good stuff will have to wait a while longer yet. On Sunday last I along with Ian had the pleasu...

The Day has arrived, there is no snow and my paperwork is ready. I have eight sets of copies with the current details of the ten candidates for initial consideration and there are twenty one others that require further research. Most of these were born here but I have to find out where they were res...

Vera will do her best to be with us, this puts us where we were four weeks ago, lets hope it doesn't snow again.

Next Sunday it is then, Chris is coming and I have just phoned Ken, he will be there, I just have to get hold of Vera now to see if she can make it.

Thank you all from both of us for your kind words and support. Two weeks on and Joan is able to manage most things without the crutches, the infection appears to be cleared up and the weeping from the nail base has ceased, the toe soon lets her know if it is subjected to any undue pressure, the colo...

May I now suggest that we hold our inaugural meeting on Sunday the 26th of February, 1400 hrs in the Merlin suite at Rolls Royce Welfare Club.

One thing that for a long time has set this countries Armed Forces above those of other nations has been the ability to prevail in the face of overwhelming odds, outnumbered, outgunned but rarely outsmarted. Tradition has played a large part in this unique and historic past, Stand Firm, then keep go...

It has been a hard week in our house and today I am trying to ease back a bit, apart from making the Sunday dinner I am leaving the kitchen alone and attempting to unwind. This is not easy however when something that has bothered me for some time keeps getting "stoked up". And so here I am...

Thank you for your concern Kingsley. Her left big toe is comletely shattered, infected and painful, but she is bearing up and well supported. The firm she works for are going to transport her to York for a posh dinner with overnight accomodation and thence returned home the following day. She does n...

The fracture specialists first comment "Oh my God" the Nurse "That looks like something from Alien" already infection has set in and the nail base is broken, it could be a long job. our WPC has discovered that all the council CCTV was focused elsewhere! at the time, so they are n...

Thank you Ian, the Police now have the times etc and are going to pursue that possibility. We are off to Airedale again early doors tomorrow to see the fracture boffins so I have cleared the front path to the kerb and gritted it, this is one of those times when living in a bungalow is much appreciat...
