I'm here in Gloucester, Ann, although I was born in west London. I live in Coney Hill and I know that I did have relations by marriage here somewhere ...........Judy Cornwell, as was? It's tipping down here today (Sat. 13th August)

Hi Everyone I live in Abbeymead, but I am from Hucclecote. Sue

Hi Im not from Gloucester but my brother lives in Innsworth, he was in the RAF but retired a good few years ago and bought an ex-RAF house, still lives there now, and said he would never return to Liverpool to live, much prefers Gloucester. I have been down there a few times and I can understand why he wont return. We use to go to the village hall in Churchdown for a game of Bingo. Regards Yvonne

Hi Ann. Like Lara, I'm in Australia, but will be in Gloucestershire in Sept. My wifes ancestors ( before coming to Oz ) lived in Painswick, and various Villages. We will be driving around Gloucesteshire, and the also visiting many Villages in the Cotswolds. We are both looking very forward to visiting this part of England. Tony Oz

I live in Bristol now but we have South Gloucestershire at the end of the road. I grew up in Hanham and went to school in Kingswood. My grandfather came from Moreton in Marsh and went to school in Chipping camden. One of my great grandmother's came from Stow on the Wold where the wind blows cold. Really nice weather today. We got up early to see the balloons take off at the Bristol balloon fiesta.
