Quadruple cooked chips

I was planning to comment on today’s meeting between my wife and her distant relative from Winnipeg. They share the same great-great grandparents. They were meeting for the first time and the link had been established by our son researching the family tree. The Canadian link was through the Bennet line. (They were going to visit Bennets Bar by the Kings Theatre afterwards just in case there was a link).

We had a lovely lunch and chat, pouring over photographs of shared ancestors.

My plans were overtaken on returning by foot from a 2 and a half hour (productive) church meeting this evening.

The road was just being cordoned off and smoke was billowing from our local chippie. No ambulances were present so we hope everyone was OK. But I suspect that fish suppers from there will not be on the menu for a while.
