I'm from Canada and, for obvious reasons, cannot join in any discussions about local issues on the forum. A few weeks ago, however, I posted a message about Landcroft Road in 1891 and 1901 and mentioned my grandfather by name (he grew up on Landcroft).


This week, a distant cousin of mine - wholly unknown to me - googled my grandfather's name and saw immediately my message on this forum. Through the forum, she was able to send me a private message and we have been able to re-estabish contact between the UK and Canadian sides of the family. Hurray.


I know that family reunions are not among the express purposes of the forum... but I just wanted to send you a big thank you anyhow.


Let us now return to our reguler programming.

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
