Liz Shakespeare of Letterbox Books has written her third book, 'The Turning of the Tide' and this is now available from Parish Chest.

The Scottish Association of Family History Societies has two more super publications available for you; Parishes, Registers and Registrars and Researching Scottish Graveyards.  If you have Scottish ancestry, I am sure these books will prove to be extremely useful.

The Worcestershire Parish Records Society has released a new CD of Welland Parish Registers.  It includes baptisms, marriages, burials and banns so is absolutely perfect for researching those elusive Worcestershire ancestors.

I am sorry to say that so far, there has been no improvement all at with Frank's eyes.  His next hospital appointment (to photograph the back of his eye) is for the 21st. October, so it seems as if Frank will not be getting his vision back any time soon.

I was very cross last week when I discovered that Dayley Lawrence had breached our copyright and used the entire front page of British Genealogy to add as text to his Facebook group.  Is this chap too stupid or lazy to write his own articles that he has to steal mine?  How many more articles has he swiped, I wonder?

When I emailed Dayley Lawrence about stealing our text, his response was, "Hi, can you let me know what I have taken? All the stuff I have got from google pics so I am not sure what it is."  Says it all, doesn't it?  Thankfully, after a complaint to Facebook, the stolen text was removed.

Last Tuesday, Frank and I enjoyed a lovely morning out visiting Hatherleigh Market.  It was wonderful - just as all markets used to be.  This was our first ever visit to Hatherleigh, but I know it wiill not be our last.

Julie Munn of Penhellick Barn delivered two Gloucester Old Spot weaners to me yesterday and they are now comfortably settled in their new home.  I just hope that these two are not such escape artists as the Tamworths I had.  I am getting far too old to chase pigs around a field!

The sun is shining and I have tulip bulbs to plant, so enough prattle for today.
