It has been quite while since I have updated the front page of my web site. This has been mainly due to a very large computer project that I have been meaning to do for several months but required some alterations to my computer hardware. In the past I have managed to free up a considerable amount of space in our house by digitising various things such as photographs, my music collection and books. In the past a considerable amount of space was taken up with VHS tapes to keep our video recordings. This was later reduced by moving things onto CD/DVD and then disposing of the taped versions. However there have now been vast improvements in computer technology with larger capacity hard drives plus the increased speeds of wireless networking within a building. It has now become practical to move stuff from those CD/DVD discs onto hard drives and stream the content around the building. To do so however I had to upgrade various items of computer hardware some of which proved to be a challenge - mostly getting things to fit into the motherboard. This has now been completed.

The weather has been so mild this year that I had to give our lawn its first cut on 12 February - Quite surprising when the last cut was only in November.

On Thursday 25 February My Aunt Doreen (Whitehouse) was buried in Walsall Wood. There was a service at St Johns Church followed by a wake at King Street Progressive Club. I met up with several family members I had not seen for several years including my cousins Mark, Christopher and Tracey. It was quite surprising to see how Sandra and also Graham's families have now grown. My former next door neighbour Norma from Herbert Road was also in attendance.

On Monday 29 February having noticed that Millie was now panting much more than usual I took her to the Vets. Millie has now been put on heart medication.

On Friday 4 March the twins had "sleepover". The same day Faustine came over from France on a business trip and so Faustine also slept here from Friday through to Wednesday 9 March.

We celebrated the Christmas Period with Festive pub meals at
1. The Whitehouse
2. The Boathouse.
Christmas Dinner was at the Toby Carvery, Shenstone (Known locally as The Highwayman)

On Tuesday 22 December 2015 we attended an Aladdin Pantomime at the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre. Neil had arranged the two front rows for members of the PPFC Community Centre, Gail and myself sat at the very front.
New Year was celebrated in our traditional manner of taking a mini holiday with other members of the PPFC Community Centre. This year it was to Scarborough with a Harry Shaw coach arranged by Neil. During this break we also made visits to Harrogate, Whitby, Bridlington and York.

I have made an alteration to the layout of my website. The Video albums have now been merged with the photo albums. This should make items easier to find plus the videos have now been cross-referenced much better than they were previously
