What's your weather like?

[YB]

I've used Ancestry and also Findmypast which is where I have managed to trace my family back 200 or so years
However I have not found anywhere to come up with figures like you quote, Dan, eg
I'm also 45% Scot, 5% Irish and 2% Welsh.

I've never discovered my real roots from a long time ago. How do you do that?

We've used Ancestry.com, mostly because my wife was adopted and we knew nothing about her biological father's side of the family, and only a little about her bio-mother's side. Now we know a lot, especially about her bio-dad's side. It's pretty much been an all positive experience for us.

All I know is that my great great Grandad (on my Dad's side) was born in the 1820's in a town about ten miles from where I live now.

I have no real desire to travel long distances now, well half of me would love to visit USA, Australia, New Zealand but the other half of me is horrified at the thought of the flights.

I've probably visited about ten countries during my lifetime, all in Europe, furthest being four and a half hour flight away.

We used to take holidays regularly around Europe, mainly because most other countries seem to have better settled weather from May to September than we do here in England. We can get some spells of some sun and temps in the 80's but we are just as likely to get 50's, wet and windy

It's beautiful today, 58 this morning! Already purchased my first mum - my goodness! and pulled out the Fall decorations (they're not up ... yet!)

World travelers! WOW y'all. I've only been off the N. American continent twice. Jamaica (senior trip) and to the Bahamas a few years later. Our honeymoon was in Cancun... very nice. We've driven into Mexico once & into Canada. SCOTLAND is on my bucket list tho! other than that NO desire to leave the good ol US of A.

We've been to the Bahamas and Hawaii. That's it. I'd love to explore my UK roots though. My ancestor who moved here was of English parentage, but he was born in Ireland near Galway. I'm also 45% Scot, 5% Irish and 2% Welsh.

We went to Turkey once, 2009. Met my son there who was over from Australia.

We were in the south of the country, flew into Antalya arport

WOW Gis. Turkey! Any particular reason?

Oh yes, Turkey is a great place for golfing trips, usually all inclusive with great courses and weather.
we are staying at the Sueno Golf Hotel, google it, quite nice, but, we stayed at a better place, Cornelia Diamond.
brilliant holiday, so, 12 guys heading out, could be carnage

So, this year has been terrible for milder weather but especially high wind, virtually every day is 20mph.
So looking forward to my golfing holiday at end of October to Turkey

You know what? I haven't felt ANY of the most recent quakes. I've been up walking around or driving or something. Just never felt them. At least one was too far away though.

Sorry I've been absent lately. Just got busy with stuff and haven't thought to check in.

We have had an excellent run of decent weather, albeit windy, but, i'll settle for that over rain and cold any day
