      Church
      A post (the one hundredth!) dedicated to St Monica's parish church. Above, an aerial view of where the church would be built! Here and there on the blog some pictures about Church practice have been posted (check this link, and that one): ...

      The Triangle through the years
      Above is a London bus blind which apparently can be bought on the net. As for the photos, I tried to post the pictures chronologically, but am not sure I have succeeded! I thought the presence  of a numbers of trees indicated a greate...

      Broomfield Park swings
      Over the past months, I have collected enough old photos of BP swings, slides, seesaws and witch hats for me to open this dedicated post. So here goes.

      Nicknames
      Some families disregard them, others thrive on them - let's say ours is somewhere in between?  A number of our family members had, and still have a nickname. What do they correspond to? What do they mean? Where do they come from? I've...

      9DR Smells
      Smells! I'm not sure I'm going to be able to re-evoke much of this aspect of 9 or 7 DR in this post if you haven't been there yourself - but then on the other hand, who reads this blog if they didn't use to know the two houses? Smells are ...

      Testimonies on Olive & Cecil from outside the family
      A Hazelwood Lane school performance in 1966 A few weeks ago, I had told you that there were people on this FB page who mentioned Auntie Olive in her capacity of Headmistress of Hazelwood Lane Infants school, and I have written to them...

      Derwent road
      Here are some pictures and things collected in relation to the actual street as it used to be. On the old map above, drawn before Derwent road was in existence, you can see that a rather large fish pond stood practically where DR was goin...

      Broomfield Park 4-the Yacht pond
      Some extra pictures of the Yacht or Boating pond I have collected - more of less chronologically. This first one is an aerial view: The swan necks are gone! (this makes me doubt if the photo was taken in Broomfield park) Not s...

      A Facebook treasure trove!
      Maybe some of you already know this Facebook page: Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green memories. But if you don't, and you're interested in views of what these two boroughs used to look like, the life which was lived there, say, ever since th...

      The Italian connection
       This summer we went to Lucca, Italy, and you probably know that our ancestor, Carlo Morganti, who was Grandpa's grandpa (his mother's father) came from a neighbouring village, Bagni di Lucca (above picture). Auntie Bee went there some...

      Garden fixtures
      In the Hughes' gardens, there weren't many additions of the kind you now often see, fancy gazebos, or ponds with a fountain, or a separation in the hedge leading to another part. It was very much a no-nonsense garden. Very small, relatively...

      Palmers Green Railway station
      I knew I'd have to do this one sooner or later... Today the train station has acquired a number of features it didn't use to have when I was a boy in PG (above, the 1970s). Compare with below: For me the story of this little train station...
