There are a lot of things I hate in this world: my chav downstairs neighbours who don’t care if they play their crap music at 7 in the morning or midnight; my grumpy, stomping, neighbour upstairs who seems to get louder whenever he hears me turn a light switch on; the kids who went back to school this week and make my journey to work even longer; my job; and my boyfriend when he goes out and I discover a big, hairy spider in the bedroom.
More importantly, the things I love are my mum, sister, nieces, boyfriend; Orla Kiely handbags; sleeping and eating are definitely on a par, and of course my family history. I have discovered loads lately, thanks to all the helpful people who answer my detailed enquiries.
This week I have been concentrating on George Duncan, an enigmatic Canadian who seems very proud of the fact he was a ‘Licentiate Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Edinburgh’. With the help of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh I have been understanding a bit more about what this meant. It’s good stuff! I’ll upload it to my family tree soon!

October 23, 2014 at 1:56 pmHi, I’ve just discovered your blog and, I know this is a few years ago for you now, but wanted to say that I sympathise entirely! We had the same thing in our old flat – on the Isle of Wight! Chavs get everywhere… And they always seem to have the downstairs flat… 🙂
