My Sunday Creative Reflections on a Tuesday

Sitting on the sofa, a blob day, time to relax, re-energize before returning to work tomorrow. Yikes!
Summer reflections are full in my head and somehow making their journey from head to heart as I process what I have done and loved and learned and anticipate what is next in my Luci journey....
Sunday Creative is a fabulous blogpost tobe inspired and what better word prompt for me for this next week.... ILLUMINATE.
God, illuminate my path.
I sooo loved visiting Anglesey, a tiny island off North Wales,UK this summer and loved watching the beginnings of the sun setting.
Beauty.
Peace.
Tranquility.
Fishermen and sailors returning home.
rock pools, sand, gulls,
Enjoy!





and have a look at other inspiring photos around the word ILLUMINATE this week!
I really fellin love with this place. My trip was waay too short.
I really wantto go back again to unwind all over again.
Can you blame me?

Meet the Ancesters

Imagine my amazement and utter surprise and delight to discover this photo of my Grandma and Grandad on their double wedding day circa 1929!
I have been beginning to do some research into my family tree, now that I have a few names uncovered from my adoption paperwork to go from.
I joined an ancestry website to begin my quest. It has been a hard search, as I had 2names, one date and one age to go from as my starting point.
I found a few leads and thought I had gone as far as I could with the mere few pieces of my jigsaw I had found. I was really pleased with what I had discovered but quite unexpecting this!
I was sent the link to this photo from the other half of the family from the double wedding, effectively descendants from my great aunt!
So in the photo, as seen for the first time by myself is my Grandma (as I have decided to call her)

Grandma Kathleen Lucy, when she married my Grandad (as I have named him) Grandad Hubert.

They were seemingly married along with her sister, Doris, (my Great Aunt)to Rev.Harry (my Great Uncle)
Imagine my further joy, to discover amongst the list of names and faces, my Great Grandma - who was called Lucy Maria.

So, I am among 3 generations of Lucy.
Imagine.
If only my parents knew the further linkage to my given name!
I am chuffed to bits!
Anyone see any family resemblance?
