An in-flight FRENCH-flan-flinging food fight!

Returning from France in September special calls had to be made at security to establish if my daughter could bring a slice of flan (custard tart) on board for lunch. Apparently it was classed as a gel and therefore a potential weapon.

Oh no! That’s such a big hike.

She had the perfect name for someone studying mosaics

Thanks. The Hydes tended to marry within a small area (within about 8 miles) so I think that one is unlikely but you never know. John Parker was a mason. Stephen learned the blacksmith trade from his uncle Joseph. Stephen died in his early 30s and Joseph then took on Stephen’s oldest son as well.

Yes that’s correct, Dave. The Hydes were the original owners of my house. Elizabeth later married John PARKER - a possible name match? - but not until 2 years after John Hyde’s death.

Thank you Dave. It’s charming isn’t it? Do you think it is meant to be ‘Uncle’? For some reason I hadn’t thought about the name being a surname!I haven’t come across any Darkwells in the village and Stephen went on to learn a trade from his uncle Joseph Hyde. Mysterious!

Thanks Rowena. It’s good to know it looks the same to you!

No, they misspelled Daley and Clare too
