How I Found My Free Family History Program
Thanks. I think other people might like some of the programs that I didn't, but I had specific things I was looking for. There might even be a better one out there than the one I settled on, but I'd rather spend my time on the history, rather ...

My mango tree is growing well. It's fun to see it grow even if it doesn't produce good fruit. I have been trying to grow figs from cuttings, but I'm not sure it's taking root. And everyone in the world can grow avocados except me.

Remembering the Battle of Flodden 500 Years On
It's one of those butterfly wings of history flapping into a great storm.
I'd go for your wedding being symbolic, rather than amusing, if you mention it on the day! And happy wedding anniversary!

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Flodden
frankbeswick - He could have dismissed Margaret Tudor as a tender hearted woman, who knew nothing of politics.
I think that James IV regretted not listening to Mother Mary, when he was dying on Flodden battlefield, in the midst of the worst ...

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Flodden

Remembering the Battle of Flodden 500 Years On
Very interesting look into the chivalry of the battle and some of the history of it. It is amazing how much one battle can change strategies and planning for future battles.
Our wedding anniversary is on the same day (a joining of an English ...

Haunted Battlefields: The Ghosts of Flodden
