Re: Do you like listening to
I used to love the tails my grandparents told us kids about the Hebridean Isles and their myths and legends. I used to lap up every word, for as much as I knew our island, the tales were from long ago when the world was different. These days it depends on who's telling and if I'm in the mood to listen.05-07-2021, 11:02 AM

Eventually I smiled and ended his conversation . I never knew what he was chatting about in the end. However he did a good job of the fence and it didnt cost any more than the quote. Non the less he was a lovely ole feller.

I was grateful of the support on here at that time, I felt dreadful after my heart operation...
Just kind words that I received from members helped me, I didn’t feel so alone.
You are so right, Pauline, the support in here is fantastic!

Two or three summers ago I was waylaid by some old bloke on my way back from the shops. He kept talking and talking for about 20 minutes. My ice lollies and butter were completely melted! I couldn't get a word in edgeways, and I didn't even know the guy!
Eventually I was rescued by another victim. I think it was someone he knew this time. I made a hasty exit, telling him it that it had been lovely chatting with him, but he completely ignored me while he went to work this other poor bloke!

I love History and genealogy and if need be we could just try a few swaps, but it would have to be a timed shared slot, otherwise I would go on and on and on....no blood relations in my searches but lots of interesting lively stories... but that has not stopped my enthusiasm ....
