We had a dog who did that for any flying insect, including flies. He was a rescue dog, we think originally brought from Spain so we wondered if he had been stung at some point by a nasty flying creature. He certainly wouldn’t stay in the same room as a fly!

She has good taste! Looking forward to my copy arriving on the doorstep!

I had just noticed that, I am in Yorkshire for the weekend and spotted it in my cousin’s newspaper!

Looks nithering.

One of my Facebook memories today was that Tutankhamen was buried with over 140 pairs of underpants.

Congratulations, well done and all that.
But you mentioned jigsaws?

I have a copy on order. Looking forward to receiving it. There is quite a bit of Lincolnshire in my roots and I often land (virtually) around churches I hadn’t heard of before whilst doing research.

I snapped a blurry shot from the moving car on the drive home last October. I wasn’t driving!
I didn’t know what it was at the time and we hadn’t spotted it on the drive up (in the misty, mizzly rain of storm whoever!).

Today’s unsolicited post. Cheerful ‘good news’ start to the day 😏
(And no, I’m not interested, private arrangements in hand thank you)
Free gift was Robin stickers.

Booky McBookface the big blue Mobile Library vehicle parked on the pier at Tingwall. The sea is in the background with the island of Rousay on the horizon.

It's a cool February morning in #Orkney and #BookyMcBookface is away on the ferry to the beautiful islands of Rousay and Egilsay. 📚

Rousay is known as the 'Egypt of the North' due to its incredible density of archaeological sites including neolithic tombs, chambered cairns and Viking remains.

🤔 In case you didn't know - here's a bit more about me and my work, my values, my hopes and fears as a creative in today's world: www.digest.andymarsh... - please share if you can. Thank you. ☺️

Or parents living with them in their later years. Or a neice/nephew born before marriage living with them. Or….. There is just so much to discover, and sometimes key answers, when you cast the net a little wider.

I love researching siblings of direct ancestors. I often seem to find the most interesting stories down those branches and the characters who get under my skin so I need to know more and dig deeper.

Another jigsaw completed. #MoreBooks

Ooooh. I do like the look of that! I think I need it.

We went over the Dornoch Firth Bridge a couple of times last year but that’s the closest I have been.
Yet.

I had to look it up on the map!

Brilliant! I have never seen that.

Random photo memory selected today by my phone 😆
From a few years ago, my front garden. The village scarecrow festival.

That’s me with my Museum of Family Stuff, going back somewhat further than 50 years.
And a father who collected family photographs and named them!

I’ll join in. My grandad and a friend, somewhere (he was in France and Belgium) 1915-1919.

As soon as I saw Sutton Bridge I was interested, our gateway to Norfolk when going on holiday as a child. And a Gt Gt Gt Grandfather lived on Roman Bank in Lutton. Also I have friends living on the Cambridgeshire fens. So I can really feel being out there.

The church featured in a family tree I was working on for a friend and I have had a soft spot for it ever since. I really should get up there to see it in person.

Home to the lovely Criminally Good Books and the awesome Barnitts.

A couple of circumnavigations (I take my journeys slow and steady) but finally landed this evening.
What a ride! I was soon consulting maps, exploring the lanes. Spent my dreams hovering over the fens.
Loved this book #PaperSisters

This just randomly popped up on my photo memories.
Name that place?

How 'unique' Spurn peninsula is being repaired by nature A wildlife trust feared Spurn would become an island after a tidal surge in 2013.

Good to see continuing recovery of Spurn Point after the tidal surge. I remember the times Dad drove us down to the end, it seemed a remote, wild place then. Even with people still living down there.
