FROM US...
We're here in the Portsmouth library..where we are now members!! To use the computers we had to get a library card..so here we are, grand holders of a UK library card! And the internet is free..just one problem, it closes in 5minutes..arggh!
Today we went to the Harbour and saw the VICTORY In all it's glory. THe entry fee was £16 (pound) so we didn't actually go inside..that's 40 aussie buckaroos each. Gosh it's such a rip off to see anything here in England! Anyway, we admired it and went into all the museums which was quite fascinating.
Interesting that Lord Nelson, the Admiral of the Victory actually died on the ship, during his time of glory, in the Battle of Travalgar. The things you learn...
We also saw a place that sells coats of arms (website is www.swyrich.com) and we looked up both our names, our grandmothers and kids names..and found out some interesting stuff. If you go to that website i mentioned you can also look up your own briefly...
But we did find out..that our family name (my father's) originally is English and get this.....they were friends of William the Conqueror and our family had huge parcels of land in Devon, England..
How about that..
Greg found his name and family is from Germany..and is right now reading all about it..
Interesting hey..
OKies we've got to get off..
So see ya..
