Not just a chap who pinched a loaf of bread.<br /><br />I'm fascinated by your fascination with the Royals. I fear that here in Britain - or at least in Scotland - people aren't very interested at all. <br /><br />Your cats are beautiful!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259296199697258502.post-9075702766418993132010-01-27T01:56:50.122+11:002010-01-27T01:56:50.122+11:00Happy Australia Day, Sylvia!

We have an Australia Day party every year (have done this long before it became fashionable, lol) with a dozen friends. We were discussing the proposed change of flag today, and none of us are happy about it! What other country changes their national flag, for goodness sake??Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259296199697258502.post-88385887593012578872010-01-27T01:06:59.158+11:002010-01-27T01:06:59.158+11:00Happy Australian day ! I loved to read your story ...Happy Australian day ! I loved to read your story it is so interesting. I have read so many books about Australia and also some about convicts destinies. It proves that their children became honnest people. I have read an autobiography of a young woman who was sent to Australia with a whole orphanate by mistake because she was in there because her mother was in hospital. It took 30 years until mother and daughter found each other. The story was also in the Newspapers. Poor orphans had really a very hard life at the beginning !Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259296199697258502.post-58512458656383844642010-01-26T22:47:01.833+11:002010-01-26T22:47:01.833+11:00How lucky you are to live by such a wonderful beac...How lucky you are to live by such a wonderful beach ~ and that it is uncrowded is an extra bonus I think!<br /><br />That is kind of sad about your 5xGreat Grandmother Mary being shipped from her home for stealing fabric and then being buried so close to a fabric store. Family trees can be very interesting indeed. I have a 3xGreat Uncle, Bill Miner, a.k.a. The Grey Fox that was Canada's first train robber and the first bandit to say "hands up". That's my families' great claim to fame...impressive isn't it?!! ha ha! I don't know ~ that's the story my dad always liked to tell anyways. :)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885238657002176243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259296199697258502.post-28212066969095464162010-01-26T22:46:50.516+11:002010-01-26T22:46:50.516+11:00Happy Australia Day!
