Letters home from Grandad. A huge surprise and not so much a rabbit hole as an elephant hole.

Exactly that. My aunt, who died earlier this year, aged 100, was "do you think Grandma knew that he wasn't who he said he was?" Having just inherited the letters home from my Grandad to my Grandma, I think that maybe she did.

I can't seem to post up the pdf that I wrote for my aunt, but you can see, it made me curious. I had to find out who he was.

I feel your pain. I had received help from the Great War Forum for a chap on Eythorne, Kent's war memorial. It turns out that he had been living under an alias in the village having deserted from the navy before the war. He joined the Coldstream Guards in 1914 though, but died at Givenchy.

I mean, puberty is a difficult time (as is menopause) for everyone. We all come through it in our own different style with more or less angst. She can't, legitimately, use this as a reason to hate the people who know where they are going.

I guess they are looking at the pr value to Trump of an impeachment vote being lost because he would twist the hell out of that. They need to be sure of some hefty Republicans sticking the knife in. Et tu ....
