Yes, I did, Dunroving. I just saved it again now. Perhaps the moderator has to approve it.

You will never believe this! Do you all remember I said I have a half sister that I have not seen for 51 years, since I was seven years old? Well, we got back in touch 2-3 years ago and emailed a few times when we were both trying to research family history. Well, about 8 months ago she moved and has not written - until today. You will never believe where she lives!

FROME, SOMERSET!

I don't know her that well and I would never live with her. Even from memory, I know she would drive me nuts! Last time I even spoke to her on the phone was over 30 years ago, right before I came to the U.S.

I had to write and tell you where she is living because isn't that exactly where Rosie moved to - Frome, Somerset?

Happy New Year!!! I've got several hours to go..........
Great idea Tanto!!!

OK we should have a pledge, anybody wins the Lotto has to buy a safe house in the UK!!!!

On another note, it is almost 9am here on New Years Day and this decade feels no different......

Just thinking about this, ldy, I don't think so. More somewhere to stay away from, I think. My half sister, according to my mother, always meant "trouble". I am quiet natured and lead an orderly life. I don't think this would work

However, it is nice to know there is another one of the family out there somewhere.

Oh this is freaky Wind!!!!!

YES Rosie lives in Frome now and that is where I lived up until I came back to Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weird thing is I had never even heard of the place until I applied for the job there, it is just a little market town......................and now it is popping up all over the place!!

Well then Frome is going to be on your list of places to visit now.....

Isn't it strange how things happen, Jackie! Do you know I don't even know how to correctly pronounce Frome lol! I am looking at it on Google Earth. It's pretty. Since my half sister lives there, though, I may want to live in another village lol! She was always the source of trouble when she lived with us - I think she is 10 years older than me so not sure how much trouble she can get into now, though lol!

Relative or not, I have not seen her for 51 years and I haven't talked to her in 35 years and only a few emails since then, so I have to be honest, I really do not know her.

Her email message arrived today but it was dated December 11 - very strange!

You can go again now and check out Rosie's or my pics on Flickr, knowing this is where your (half) sister lives.
