I am thrilled that Darris Williams has joined the Parish Chest to sell the Chester Diocese Marriage CDs on behalf of Bertram Merrell.  So useful if you have ancestors from that part of the country.

Three new Sussex and one Surrey parish register CDs have been released by the Parish Register Transcription Society.  These are always excellent CDs and very reasonably priced.

The Gwent Family History Society has released three more parish register CDs; Risca, Penmaen Baptist Chapel and Newbridge, Beulah Baptist Chapel.

If you would like to see a full list of all new products, new suppliers and special offers for September available at the Parish Chest, just take a peek here.

I am really miffed that due to the problems Frank is having with his eyes, we cannot attend the, 'Back To Our Past' event in Dublin as we were really looking forward to attending this.

We had planned to go across on the ferry from Holyhead a day early to get everything set up, and then spend a few days looking around Ireland after the event. Now, all of our plans have come to nothing.  If John Low, of S & L Promotions Ltd repeats the event next year, I do hope he remembers to invite us.

I thought, to cheer Frank up, it may be a good idea to have a holiday - you know, somewhere warm and far away from computers, telephones and fax machines, etc.  The two problems I have with that idea are, I am not good at sitting around, not doing anything, and I hate 'planes - well, not the 'planes so much as the flying.  Any ideas. folks?

Tomorrow, if the weather is kind, I plan to spend the day removing the runner bean and pea plants, netting and canes  and then set to and dig over that patch of the vegetable garden.  Once the ground is dug and weed free, I shall dig in some manure, then cover it with some old carpet and leave it until next year.  If the weather is not kind, then I shall have to do some housework - yuk!

Yoicks, October already! Where does the time go?  I know people say that time passes quicker as you get older, but this is ridiculous.  Yes, I have already made the cake and puddings, but now it will not be too long before I shall have to start thinking about the actual Christmas menus!

A few days ago, I bought some ten week old Cream Legbar pullets, and these have their own pen in the orchard.  Alas, the pesky little creatures do not realise that they are supposed to stay on their side of the fence, so they keep flying out and joining the bigger chickens in the main run.

Right!  Enough prattle for this week.
