My grandparents were from the UK....Granmother from Aberdeen, Scotland and Grandfather from Cradley Heath, Staffordshire...that's the maternal side. My GREAT grandparents on the paternal side were both from Ireland...ousted from Scotland for picking the wrong side in one of the ongoing wars....The x's are an April fool the mods are playing on us!
I am not "disabled" per say although I do suffer with IBS and it impacts on my life in a big way!
Jetleg kndly offered for me to join so here I am.
Therapy artist- wow your family are from here?! how exciting. I have lived here for 9 years now, I am originally from England. So the question is when are you coming to visit??
I was there 15 years ago...and would love to return but doubt it will ever happen. We had two weeks and went from Edinburgh to Poole and from Manchester to the Dover with stops at Amesbury, Bath, London, Leeds, Salsbury, Canterbury and more. An exhausting but educational and fun trip. Have hundreds of relatives over there and got to meet about 1/4 of them. "Tis a lovely country and warm and friendly people but MUST you drive on the left??? Talk about white knuckling it!!! Especially through roundabouts! Otherwise, except for mother urging us to try Haggis, it was my trip of a lifetime....
