Tuesday

A group of  aged Kipling enthusiasts ( the author not the cake maker) meet in a Cambridge college to discuss and read his works.The class has ended for this academic year . This is just as well for there have been tensions over a much loved biscuit tin and differences of opinion as to whether or not old Etonions should wear their old school ties on all occasions. The latter is out of my social league but that is Cambridge for you.

On Tuesday afternoon the oldies Pilates class had a different teacher.This was a botoxed crone who was rude to everyone .She asked a nice man with an ankle injury if he had done it having sex on a bicycle and then decided to address a charming German  as Ecclescake as she could not pronounce his name.The whole class left in a huff.
Get well soon Tansy.

Wednesday

A short service in St B------s followed by coffee in The Copper Kettle with some very clever and amusing friends.This cafe is not to be missed  if you  visit Cambridge , a good place to gossip, eat , drink and admire the view.

Family History

Christmas time is a good time to begin a family history.Families often gather together and this your opportunity to ask them about family members past and present, especially if there are any mysteries that have not been sorted out.

Record what you have found out as soon as you can before you forget, use some family history soft ware to help you.
Family history magazines often give free samples to start you off and you can buy something better at a later date.

Organize a family tree. Scrounge old photos.
