It has also been interesting liaising with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission - they celebrate their centenary this year. They have a project in which they are putting notices on church graveyards indicating that there are Commonwealth war graves there. The CWGC do an excellent job of looking after the headstones, cleaning them and making sure that they are safe.
I'm just collating all the information ready to put on a display for Remembrance Day in my local church.
One side of my family were miners, it was very interesting to see how many during the early 1900s moved onto different occupations. Unlike some mining areas there was other industries in the area and I think WW1 provided a means 'initially' to get away from the area. I believe the whole country was full of a false optimism as regards how long the war would last and how devastating it would be on many families.
Hi Tedge, I think I would have been grateful for any work to get out of the house lol.
ElaineK6, what type of dog have you got, are you like me, can remember the name of the dog when I meet other dog walkers but not the owners name, the joys of having a bad memory [its a great excuse] Hope the coughs better.
Sorry good people, waffled on a bit there....
I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and being part of the community.

Just joined & hope to make new friends. I work full time at the moment but get sick of spending most weekends alone or playing gooseberry to my lovely coupled up friends. I'm hoping to meet ladies in a similar position who want to meet other females for friendship, meeting up for a shopping trip, a drive out to the country/seaside or just a coffee/drink. I wouldn't say I was lonely because I enjoy my own company but it would be nice to make new friends, hence joining silversurfers. Nothing to loose and maybe a lot to gain.
to chat with like minded people. Live Merseyside area
Recently Widowed, 66 years old, Spanish living in Spain, wishing to make new friends online.
I am an open talkative person, friendly and willing to hear and learn from you. I specially would like to talk to ladys recently widowed like me. Above all because we can understand each other feelings very well and support and encourage to go on. I think it is very important that we talk about our dear ones who have left us but remain with us. Some people, after one year of our loss seem embarrassed to talk about it and keep on saying "Come on, you should be ok by now" ... I am not a mourner but need to share feelings and memories with other people in my situation.
My spare time is spent considering the meaning of life, gardening,waiting in queues,sleeping,and generally being a nuisance.!
