UK AGRA members/associates: I'm giving the Monday Lunchtime Lecture this week. It's about 'The Thoroughly Rotten Unreformed House of Commons' pre 1832, and how an understanding of this can help us in local history, one-place studies and researching the lives of people. Hope to see some of you there.

Jasmin Kaur: When You Ask Me Where I’m Going

Every Christmas, as I arrange cards received from friends and family, I’m secretly planning how to reuse them in my next batch of recycled card designs. These four, posted overseas today, all have recycled elements. It’s as lovely choosing who gets each one as it was making them last January. ❤️

Working from my family Christmas cake recipe last night, I was reminded that when I passed it to my nephew’s wife last year I added a drop line family tree chart indicating the ‘descent’ of the cake and the various amendments made to it by named family members.
I assume this is a genealogist thing!

I (double) broke my wrist in September. Left hand, fingers & wrist are still very swollen, but I’m doing the exercises & determined to get back as much strength/ mobility as poss. This is 3 days out of cast. Those 16 notes hesitantly played by left hand make me very happy. ☺️ Thankful for our NHS. 🥰

All About That Place is an event that brings together local and family history by looking more widely at the places where our ancestors lived. It happens this year from 27th Sept to 6th Oct. I've recorded a video that will publish on 3rd Oct as part of 'Politics' day. More info to follow. #AATP24
