"Comrade Marg", my maternal grandmother (1874-1953) discovered mainly from family history & archive research. Her ambition was to be a municipal councilor

@ATwoSpiritBear1 @SpiritBear @BearsSpirit @WarwickshireCRO @cblackst Sorry it had been a while since @ATwoSpiritBear1 has been in touch. Could you send us an address so that we can send a small package to @BearsSpirit for Juniper Spirit Bears. We have to downsize and move by next Spring.

@AStreetNearYou I am recently back from a very quick trip to the UK. It has made me realise how important I think it is to start remembering #SecondWorldWar names , memorials & narratives. It could be a similar & improved format from your fantastic work to date.

@WarwickshireCRO @heritageopenday @ATwoSpiritBear1 hopes that he/they are not boxing above their weight . Might need a parachute for a hasty exit at closing time.

@LizzieHelenMay Hoping for informative finger posts as I navigate my way round Great Yarmouth UK next Friday. On a very short trip to revisit some family history.

@postcarddaily I am more in favour of celebrating the mothers and other women of Confederation. Warwick and Rutter had some interesting women on their family tree stretching back to the 1860's.

@postcarddaily @AStreetNearYou have you had an opportunity to visit the restored locomotive?

[Liz (Janet) Tobin almost ready to decamp from X @ComradeMarg]

@WarwickshireCRO @heritageopenday @ATwoSpiritBear1 checked for #WheresTheBear and we think you are hiding in plain sight right beside the front door. We hope you wave a 🐾 to all 🐻 visitors!

I was in the audience that evening along with my sidekick @ATwoSpiritBear1 . We had the privilege of talking to both presenters after the event. As we migrate from Twitter we will take the memory with us.

@postcarddaily There's also a WWI link to Close Avenue at @AStreetNearYou with some interesting details about several of the fatalities. More info at Lives of the First World War website as well.

@DebsaDelight Our pre 1921 era house was situated at a 90 degree angle to the current configuration! The entire neighbourhood was built along & on top of a creek. It meandered through an industrial area to Lake Ontario. The current municipal review is digging up all kinds of new details.

@CraigBaird There were lots of references to the Princess Pats when the Lives of the First World War website was live between 2014 -2018. I added a few as they are an interesting regiment. @AStreetNearYou continues to accept details about casualties etc. within the CWGC time frame.

I will at least credit the Earl with my fondness for Twinings Earl Grey.

@HertzBarry @canadianstage I think your son's reaction was definitely the best part .
According to my preschool report book around 1946 to 1948 I was sometimes unusually vocal as well in the school's front garden in North London UK.
My dream was probably to perform on Hampstead Heath!

@DebsaDelight As my paternal grandmother told me when I was about 5 years old.
"War is always a terrible waste".
She remembered WWI & the deaths of her brothers & other relatives along with many young men from their Norfolk village.

Gardening advice for children 1948 style. I have a copy a "Child's Garden of Verses " by Robert Louis Stevenson. A gift from my parents, & I still remember the names of most of the flowers in our garden. My pocket money sometimes depended on horticultural chores!

[Liz (Janet) Tobin almost ready to decamp from X @ComradeMarg]

Celebrating #SundayYellow with Coreopsis which always attracts bees. Lots of seed heads so hopefully more plants to follow. There have been occasional Black Monarch butterflies visiting the flowers but never when my phone camera is handy @LucyLondon7 & global gardening friends.

@jamesinealing @DebsaDelight & @postcarddaily could you post this to your followers to help James out please. My brain is fried by the heat in Southern ON CA this morning but I will post to some private Facebook groups.

This made me laugh when I went to buy some groceries today. Since we are in the middle of a heatwave I'll put them in the back of the kitchen cupboard for an autumn treat.
