May The Force Be With You…..Always!
I've had another great delivery from Fansets who are based in the USA. In case you've missed my previous posts about them, they design and sell pins from a variety of franchises including Star Trek.

Below is an article I wrote for a number of different websites. It's the story of Jane Maria Clouson (occ. Clousen) who was my 1st Cousin- 4x removed. She was tragically murdered in 1871 in Kidbrooke Lane, Eltham. In my family, the name ‘Jane’ has been passed down for generations along with rumours of a... Continue Reading →

Recently on social media, many people have been recalling their first experience with Star Trek so I thought I'd tell my story from a toddler up to aged 16. Star Trek first aired in the UK in the very late 60s and was used to fill gaps between series of Doctor Who. Trek was never... Continue Reading →
Another hobby of mine is genealogy. I've been investigating my family tree for over 16 years and my main branch has gone back to 1536. It's something I'm going to post about on here from time to time when I find something interesting. Today however I'd like to take a moment to remember the many... Continue Reading →
