    Hi all, I shall be away for at least the next 12 days on my Living and the Dead tour of UK. I shall be travelling to see old friends and pay my respects to some long lost, but now found ancestors.

    I leave tomorrow for Derby, then Ashover my family originally came from Ashover and I know of 4 generations buried in All Saints church ? going back as far as 1666. Then I go on to Buxton and from there to Hawick (in the Borders Scotland) where my Great Grandfather and Mother are buried in Wellogate Cemetery. From there I am up to Morningside Maccemetary (ok it should read cemetery he he) Edinburg to pay my respects to my
    Grandparents. Heading south now to Morpeth then on to Richmond Yorkshire from here I dive down to London where I have three more stops before driving to Wandsworth Cemetery to pay my respect to my Father. Then it is a nice 160 miles home to Taunton. Should be a breeze.

    Dai keep an eye on Tom whilst I am away please!

    Kindest regards ? Vasbyte

    Wow David,
    Busy busy busy. Have a wonderful time. I learnt how to drive in the dark when a rooky PC in HOIK( thats how we pronounced it)
    Morpeth is not too far from us and if on your way back south you go via the Tyne Tunnel call in on us if you like for a coffee. Take it easy and dont get too tired.
    Love Min
