My great grandmother was Caroline's sister Elizabeth she was married to John Wilson. One of their children Mary was my grandmother and one of her sons Cyril was my father. I would be very interested to have more details of your link to Thomas Hardy to update my Ancestry tree.

Your story sounds similar to mine. So we could be related then Eric. Caroline was my great grandmother and she had a son called Frederick, who was my grandfather. Frederick had three daughters and a son, and one of the daughters (Margery) was my mother. So we are similar, but just substituting male and female links.

A Roomful of Elephants

One of the biggest highlights for me in 2021 was reconnecting with a very dear friend the Reverend Patrick Forbes and his lovely wife Annette.
I first met Patrck back in the early 1970's. He was our local vicar, but of course he was also so much more than that.
Patrick and I met up at my local pub The Chequers (at Patrick's request) We had a lovely afternoon chatting about old times. He signed my copy of his book and we giggled as I took some selfies. He is such great fun to spend time with. You really must read his book. It's aptly described as an entertaining autobiography.
Patrick is one of the most inspirational people I know. I owe him a debt of gratitude. His patience, kindness and encouragement got me through some very dark times in my life. He is full of ideas and energy and at the age of 80 something he shows no signs of giving up!
Thank God for that!
