Slip Sliding Away Challenge #10 for the Come Slide With Me Group Chester, Eastgate Street ~ for the "Come Slide With Me" Group ORIGINAL PHOTO SUPPLIED BY *Maeluk* Thankyou Steve ! Click that link to see original My addition is part of a family history I am making Uncle Steve was my Dads only brother ... he was 21 yrs older than my Dad and he was a 14 year old boy sailor here... he survived the Battle of Jutland on the HMS Chester ( as a 14 year old boy.. he lied about his age.. only a handful lived from the ship). He was made a Freeman of The City of Chester for his bravery and his name is on the Honour Scroll in Chester Cathedral with the ships battle flag hanging beside it He went on to be a submariner. That is my Nan in the photo.. Dads Mum.. I never knew her ..only Grandad.. and he died when I was 5. Uncle Steve died in 1965 ... his life was badly affected by ill health from Mustard Gas from the shells fired at the submarines when they were on the surface.

The Family is back..... early... but good to see.

Some of you already know my Snowdrops story (please forgive the repetition !).... ... but for those who don't Snowdrops have a very personal special meaning for me. I was an 8 mth babe.. and though healthy.. a month early and born at home... in the worst February winter London had known for many years. Snowdrops bloom through the ice.. and my Dad said I was a fighter.. and called me his Snowdrop. It stuck.... he always made sure I had Snowdrops on my birthday.. till he died. Jay (the American gent I married in January 2005) carried that on once he knew... even through some adversity. I have planted some here ... hard to get them in the USA.. but I went through Brecks.. and when we moved here to the house I call Snow's Light in June 2011 ... I ordered.. and planted them in that October.... often they dont flower the 1st year. BUT.. they are slowly increasing in the number of flowers each Spring now.. and I planted 60 more My house is called "Snow's Light" ... Snowdrops Lighthouse... I also collect Lighthouses and miss the sea desperately. Its a real physical pain... Although I have traveled all my life and lived abroad... now... at 61 I am feeling homesickness desperately. Maybe as we get older we finally need our roots. I always believed I would move to New Zealand..... but the Dream Catcher mistook an American gent for a New Zealander ! So.... Snowdrops are the flower of my heart... and it goes with the 2nd one.. Mistletoe... which is the Spirit and Heart of the Oak... and the final one of Yellow Roses.. the colour of Happiness Mother Earth protects us all.... there should be no divide of Faith... we all have an investment in the beauty there is Sail on Fair Winds and Calm seas... and Walk in Beauty ........ EXPLORED !

Beautiful Jewels.
