accy'sinCanada

I am originally from Hapton, not Accrington, but I am living in Canada. As a child I went to the pictures in Accrington (Odean and the Kings Hall)  and I took Tap Dancing there.
I also went through Accrington last year on the way from Edinburgh to Hapton.

Another intersting site for Accrington is WWW.Barahome.com

Hi Grandma Val,
You`ll find a lot of nostalgia on June`s WebSite " Accrington Uncovered" -- it`s on the Link Section of this Forum.

Are you from Vancouver Island by any chance ?
 
No I am not from Vancouver Island, I haven't been west of Windsor Ontario, I am sorry to say. Maybe one day I will get there.   :o

Yes, there are a lot of Scots. living in Brampton but also a lot of English, and just about every other nationality too.
I know the Rose & Thistle, you pass by it on the way to Peel Memorial Hospital from Bramalea where I actually live,  but have never been inside.   :D
 
OOps, sorry i forgot to mention, I got this site from a real Accy person. Siddie (Nickname)  is my pal  and lives in Kent, does she qualify for membership?

Our dads were school boys and playmates together in Hapton, but my Dad stayed in Hapton until 1957 when we came to Canada, and her family went living in Accrington frist then later to Kent.  [smiley=cheers.gif]
 
Not from Accy but from "Snuffy". Now in Eastern Ontario. Used to spend quite a bit of time in Accy though.

Is that close enough?
 
Hi Valerie and all
Valerie says my nickname is Siddie true but I got my password all muddled and couldnt log on so I started all over again under the name of Fur Baby.
So for Siddie read Fur Baby
 
Hi fur baby, and welcome to the forum by the way!

Noticed you like cats! I'm a cat lover too. how many you got?
 
not really. I just noticed there was a few of us on here that live out here thats all!!!! many Accringtonians that I know that came out here at the same time as I did all returned.
 
Good for you littlemo.I will admit it is not easy for a woman to move so far away from the homeland.It is of course a little bit easier when the language is the same.Amanda, the wife, made a good transition here but she was one of the lucky ones.The majority of the women who come over to Germany suffer from homesickness raelly bad at one point or another
 
Oh dear! if I ever emigrate, I'll have to make sure I take a big strong man to look after me then!

Not!

My auntie emigrated to Australia 35 years ago, on her own. Brought her kids up over there on her own. Has done very nicely ever since.

Now retired and travelling round New Zealand on her own in a campervan at the age of 60.  

Way to go Auntie Bren!!
 
Not referring to the physical strength at all.A lot of it si  emotional as women like to have their families around them especially their children
 
I wasn't refering to physical strength either!  ::)

Your attitude to women generally seems to be condescending. Maybe you just don't realise that.

Maybe it's just me getting it wrong though, after all - I am just a woman!

I love having my family around me. especialy my children. Everyone knows in my house my favaroute piece of furniture is the massive kitchen table and the best time of the week is after Sunday lunch when the whole family sits and has a chin wag. You really can't get better than having your family round you.

I am a bloke..I must be wierd eh :)
 
your not wierd harry i love having the grandchildren over
its good to have a family that cares ;D
 
having left England many years ago, I do not find the comment patronising, I do know what he is on about and yes it is easier if it's an english speaking country. From this end, its more the women that go through homesickness than the men, although for us it was my husband that wanted to return to England, which we did, but then it was him that wanted to come back here after a while!!
