Family Tree

The weather has been pretty foul again today. We have stayed put for most of the day, the Silver Vixen has been sewing and the Gorse Fox has spent some quality time with Family Tree Maker and his photo libraries.

He has been exchanging emails with a cousin. Like the Gorse Fox (and his little sister) this cousin lost her father when she was very young. The Gorse Fox had forwarded a photo of her dad when he was a young boy. This triggered the email exchange and this afternoon he has been trying to remember all he can of this uncle so that he could fill in some blanks for her. It was an interesting exercise as his recollections are predominantly a series of disjointed flashes of images from the Gorse Fox's own childhood.

Cousteau-cub has been out in Chichester, despite the weather. She was looking for some accommodation to rent for her, the Coventry Hobbit, and their dog (currently staying with Urban-cub). It's always difficult finding something that suits you, particularly when you need to find somewhere that accepts a pet. The search is young; let's hope she finds something that they like at a price they can afford.
