Both metaphorically and literally this is the Last Post for Babs.
Some people have been very kind - reading and complimenting the content and appreciating the sentiment of these articles. Others have wondered what all the fuss is about. Wondered why bother?
Babs started the series back in August 2009. She wanted to write down her stories to there after she'd gone. She wanted grandchildren, and their children, and their children, to have first hand accounts of ancestors lives, and to make them easy to find.
Over the last couple of years we've added the odd article - particularly pictures from her albums - all to the same purpose - writing down history as seen by somebody who was there. Since Babs passed away we've continued the theme and added our own accounts of this particular history as it happened
And now we've reached the end of the story. Play the Last Post because this is the last post in the series. Here's a list of, and links to, the individual pages.
Hope you enoy something here.
