Hello Stephen - we (that is OH and I) love the Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. His last novel, published posthumously, , is on OH's Christmas List :-D |

Hello everyone, I'm new to the community forums though I've been a GR free/standard member off and on since 2006. My interest in genealogy waned about 5 or 6 years ago as I had little time with work and being a carer for my mum who had dementia. |

Amongst other books, including The Sunrise by V hisslop Tess, I have just read The Tea Planters wife by Dinah Jefferies. I really enjoyed it. Set in Ceylon in the 20s it is a good read about the tea making process but also about the political problems of the times before Ceylon became Sri Lanka. |

I have been reading a very large book by Robert K Massie detailing the life and times of Peter the Great, the man who modernised Russia and founded St. Petersburg, as well as giving his country a navy modelled on those of England and the Netherlands. |

I haven't checked the application Vera but I have heard absolutely nothing. Seems like a waste of time this time. I just thought I had not been chosen. I do wish they would put something on the board if it has gone wrong. I am going to repeat this in an open message as I doubt they read this thread, |

Has the Genes Book Club gone completely to pot? My application for the June book, sent on 9th June, hasn't even been opened yet. |
