I remember attending my uncle's (Mr. Jones) funeral in Oswestry prior to emigrating and all the mourners were listed in the Oswestry "Tizer".<br /><br />It is one of my cousin's birthday today so I will be phoning him in Welshpool and enjoying the accent.<br /><br />Rest in Peace Mrs. Jones.Susan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-73189948916210489542012-11-20T20:28:34.766+00:002012-11-20T20:28:34.766+00:00they were not wearing their usual rainbow jackets...they were not wearing their usual rainbow jackets m!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-47819675505109665062012-11-20T18:38:47.760+00:002012-11-20T18:38:47.760+00:00To be that loved!
