Lived for a while in Churchdown when I was 11 ( long long time ago! ) I used to love going for a walk up on Churchdown Hill , there was a little Norman church on the top, I remember. Bea.

Ann I live in cheltenham and can trace family in this area back to the early 1800's Theresa

I'm just over the border in Malvern...but can see you from here...so hellooooo!

Live in Cardiff now but up until 2 years ago I lived in Hucclecote, then when first married 25 years ago in Quedgeley (didnt everyone) latterly in Upton St Leonards where ex hubby still lives. My father's family - Dowles and Edwards all come from Gloucestershire, Aylburton, Woolaston and some Taylors in Sharpness - where my father was born.

I was born in Cheltenham and lived at The Reddings and Churchdown,I've lived in Hampshire for 17 years and still regard Cheltenham as home.I'm hoping we shall return to retire at home,but maybe in Tewkesbury as I've always fancied living there !!!

I shall have a paddy if I can't join Ann-Answer me Rose. Does it count that I still go to The Blue Grass club on a Friday night at Tetbury with the boys from thr Knochdown Band?

Christine on the local lunchtime TV news, the reporter was staanding in a blizzard on Birdlip and the snow was laying (sticking or whatever you say in your part of the world). here it was raining. So maybe there is snow on the hills. Ann Glos

Ann,can I be an honorary member.I was born in the Crown Inn on Gumstool Hill Tetbury on a dark and stormy night when my parents were moving from one RAF Camp to another.They stopped over night in Tetbury and I decided to be born three weeks early.My Birth Cert makes for amusing reading-Rose Went to school at Westonbirt

Christine Not been out to see the hills as confined to the house with a cough/cold and feeling rough. But they may not be white as weseem to have had mainly sleet in the valley. it isn't clear today but couldn't see snow on Robinswood or Churchdown hills yesterday. Ann Glos

I used to live in Pucklechurch, on the RAF camp, its closed down now and l think its a place for naughty boys now. Anne
