Most of the last couple of days have been travelling and waiting to travel. Neither the train or air employees are very accommodating in England. Little bit more friendly in Ireland where I will meet Sharon in the morning. Yippee, then we start a new adventure (yes, looking for dead people) as John puts it. More family research. Met and befriended 8 young lads on the plane coming to Ireland for a ‘stag couple days’, god knows what they will look like when they arrive home!!! No photos until tomorrow. Don’t think you want to see train stations or airports.Lue lisää

At ‘Shire Hall’ for 9.00 opening. Used ‘park ‘n ride’ as parking in Cambridge is expensive and busy love them. Research was reasonably successful. Certainly have other options for following through when I get home. Very helpful. The joys of being on site!!! Mixed feelings when I walked down by the river, there is still an Italian restaurant where Mike and I had lunch twenty years ago, went and had a coffee and watched the world go by. Spent all day researching, was looking forward to a nice meal. Should have known better. Ordered fish and a salad, salad rotten but they couldn’t really care. My wine was good so told them that was all I was going to pay for. - blank look, but not even an apology!! Poms!!! Of on my next venture tomorrow.Lue lisää

Where did Monday go?? That’s what happens when you get engrossed in family research!!! More lovely little villages, bad, narrow roads and dead ends!!! Moved ‘digs’ now right in Ely at a lovely b & b, very old a little tired but nice. Went to visit the Stretham old steam engine that helped drain the fens way back. Where some of the family worked.Lue lisää

Sunday morning sleep in, yeah right!!! Off to the mill to say goodbye to Jacqui as she was heading back home. Went to Worlington to visit a relation, 94 year old and bright as a button, 20 years since I saw him too. He could be one of the old Howe family from NZ, there is such a resemblance!! Got lost a couple of times but it really is easy to get around, not too much distance between little towns. Took a photo of the Boars Head pub where the 94 year old was born. Little villages are so beautiful. Last night here, then move to Ely to a b & b. I am in this area for longer than first thought. Looking forward to Ireland in the next chapter of my trip.Lue lisää

At the mill today to see it operating. A very dedicated bunch of volunteers from all walks of life. I met the head of the trust who is also a historian so now I have good knowledge of the mill owners, saves me doing the research!!! Went to meet another ‘oldie’ in the village in his ancient little cottage and found that the farm house where my family lived is no longer there, shame. A photo of the pub I am staying in and the view from the dining room looking out at the canal.Lue lisää

Went to visit relatives this morn, not to much info as they were s bit ‘away with the fairies’, very old. Each parish I went to do research was closed and not open until Tuesday, bummer.!!! Looked through more churchyards then met Jacqui later in the day. Today is ‘Mill day’. Looking forward to meeting some of the workers.Lue lisää

Hair cut day yesterday and a look around Ely visiting the Cathedral and the house Oliver Cromwell lived in which is now the (i) centre plus museum. Then a catch up with a relative, Jacqui, having not seen her for 20 years. How 20 years changes us!!!! Lovely time with Jacqui taking me to a couple of churches and grave yards then had dinner together. Found my 3rd g. Grandfathers grave with the headstone barely visible. Found a local historian who is a retired stonemason who is willing to clean and restore the stone, it really is in good condition despite it’s age. Today is library day. Weather is beautiful, temperatures in the late 20,s.Lue lisää

MatkaajaSurprised you could tell who the headstone belonged to! Good bit of growth on that.

We think we have traffic problems in N Z, forget it!!! Took an hour in taxi from where I was staying in Kensington to King Cross station, taxi driver was pulling his hair out!! Reached Ely, picked up my rental no problem, a peppy little Audi. Accomm basic but clean, typical pub on a canal, could be beautiful but poms generally lazy. Visited Wicken and the ‘family mill’ lots of memories, all good. Today is serious research.Lue lisää

Notting Hill
31. heinäkuuta 2018, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Decided to walk to Notting Hill today, tried to look like Julia Roberts but couldn’t find Hugh Grant so had to give that up!!! Ha ha. Walked the length of Portobello Road, looking very drab and every stall holder was either Indian or Middle East. I was a little disappointed but it has been done now. Very busy today. Went across to Hyde Park again, today very busy, probably because the weather is a little better. I spent some time organising to do research when I get back here and rang a couple of relatives, so all good. Catch the train to Ely in Cambridgeshire at 10 tomorrow morning. Looking forward to being up there again.Lue lisää

I set off this morning through Hyde Park just in time to get in a shower so had to take refuge under a tree. Walked a total of 13.6 km taking in Buckingham Palace, St James Palace walked around Mayfair and Belgravia before going to Harrods. As like 1998 NZ wines cheaper than in NZ, crazy. Saw the NZ war memorial and then walked back via Kensington Palace. Absolutely knackered. Good though. Lovely through Hyde Park. Typical tourist today!!!Lue lisää
