The Guns have been busy again this week. They have seen the Planes passing
on their way to France. Of course, it generally happens in the night. They
do startle one so, but we must not mind since they are not to hurt us.
We are having very mild weather just now & we are thankful as our Coal is
very poor, also Coke & very little of it, but we must not grumble.
Arthur & Will cut down some trees at the bottom of the garden this Autumn,
so we have some wood. Quite a lot of peo

Sunday Jan 31st [1943]
We have had quite a lot of excitement this last week. The Guns have been
going quite a lot & on Friday we had a real Raid. We were in Town having
tea with Arthur's sister Edith, when about seven o'clock the Guns started &
went on for nearly an hour. We really thought we should have to spend the
night there, but they ceased about eight & we decided we would try to get
home. It was very dark & we had half an hour's walk before us.
We managed to get nearly home when off the

We are having a very cold spell. It is difficult to keep warm, as I can't
light the fire before 5 p.m. except Sunday when I light it at dinner time
as Arthur is home & he feels the cold very much. We are looking forward to
the time when we can do without fires altogether.
There is much sadness about just now. Some 200 people are being sent to
Germany next Wednesday. It is very cruel, I think. We have not any of ours
who have to go yet. There is a report that all those born

Dear All,
Am delighted at the response to the notion of the book, My Dear Lavvie.
There's no getting out of my commitment now! I've made a good start, but
you're gonna have to be patient - there's a long way to go yet. We're only
up to Feb 1943 so there's more than 2 years to go to May 1945. Here's

Hi Mary,
Have you joined the Sackett mailing list or visited their web page? I'm
forwarding your note to them. On the web page you will find more than
enough info to put "flesh on the bones" of your pedigree!! Every day
something new comes in on the Sackett list. Of all the lists I belong to
(I'm embarassed to say just how many that is!) the Sackett list is the most
informative. Some lists are used as chat rooms, but not this one. You will
get some real info. Right now Cyber Sackett Cousin Chris is

Dear Nancy & All,
It's a smaller world than you think. As a child, I used to go every
Saturday morning to a children's cinema club - 6d (old pence) in the stalls
(about 4 cents) & 9d in the balcony. I used to go in the stalls so that I
could afford to buy an ice-cream in the interval. Ther
Hi Everyone:
I have been off line for over a month due to a variety of reasons--the modem
went out, then we had a number of other catastrophes happen and just didn't
manage to get the computer worked on until this last week. One thing though,
being off line for a month, I really got a lot of work done!
I am trying to write up a little "book" for a Sackett family reunion at the
end of August...And our baby (number two) is due any time now.

Hi Cous'!
I agree with Cindy, we do have a GREAT list! It's our unique cousins who
make it so! And Cindy, thank you so much for the leads you have shared
where my surnames of McKAY/TINKHAM are concerned.
Patty, do take care of yourself! We'll all be curious as to what you name
the latest Sackett descendant! I sometimes wonder about shutting down
the computer for a month just to get caught up! Do keep us informed of the
baby's birth!

Dear Lillie fans,
Ruth suggested some time ago that it would be nice if the Lillie letters
could be published in book form. At the time, I thought that, as there have
been quite a number of wartime diaries published already, yet another one
would not be of great interest. I was thinking then, of course, of a
"proper book" published in the usual way. This would certainly not be
commercially viable.
However, since then, such has been the interest shown by members of the
List, that I have re-thought this. I

We have had some excitement & noise this past week. It started on Monday at
2 a.m. when we were disturbed by Gunfire which lasted 3/4 of an hour. A lot
of planes passed over & we have heard that they had been to France. Then
again, Thursday & Friday we had some more.
Arthur's sister was buried on Thursday afternoon in the same part of the
Foulon Cemetery as Alfred is. It was a very cold day but not so bad as last
year. It was just a year since Alfred died.

I kind of thought that the story of Roy Rogers passing that I sent to

many people on the list that feel the same way I do. Many of you have
sent me e-mail stating how much that you care.

his pales than I knew of my own family. I loved to watch The Roy Rogers

Dear Fred & All,
The WFT depends for its data on submissions from ordinary folks like you
and me. As I understand it there is no attempt made to verify any of the
data.There is absolutely no genealogical data to support the notion of an
Adam Sackett and I'd put big bucks on the fact that there was no such
person.
You will note that there is no source data given for this entry. I can
suggest two possible sources:
