Hello, there! I am alive and sorry for the long silence. I'm having a really hard time with how things are going over here and my LJ time has suffered even more than usual... But, I popped on this evening in the midst of a mad dash to finish up my reversebang and saw your post here, so now we have conversed! I love that you were a blacksmith. That is such an interesting occupation. Did you actually shoe horses?

Ha ha NO! Not me - I never did anything so practical or exciting. I did some family tree stuff a while ago and my maternal Granddad's great Granddad was a blacksmith on a posh estate in Surrey. He was born in 1786. The teaching heritage came via that side of the family too, as my same granddad's father left Surrey for Manchester in the late 1800s and he was a teacher (as were both my parents, as it happens).

Hope your hard time is all political and not health or family related...

Also, you are so on my bucket list to meet. Still haven't given up on getting over to London at some point in the not too distant future. Or maybe we could meet up in Peru!

That's super impressive. I'd love to do mine but the lines are so blurred and go back so far I'd have issues.

Lines are always blurred - my Dad's side is a pain because they kept spelling Byrne differently census to census. Argh.

I love these memes, you caan find out lots of interesting stuff about your friends. And I know my friends are all kinds of awesome when 'painting my otter and making antenna for my space duck' is considered a simple daily actiity for them :D
