Welcome to Our Website
Hello my name is Marilyn and I would like to introduce my family to you. This site is about our family and our interests. We hope you enjoy browsing this website and come back again to see what happens in our corner of the world.
Our family here in Child Okeford, Dorset, England consists of myself Marilyn, Rod my husband and three dogs. Ellis the black labrador, Lucy a Whippet Lurcher and our recent edition Kim the German Shepherd. Ellis is now over 13 years old and still as handsome as ever and still likes to 'chat' up the ladies on his walk!
Lucy was found wandering on Bulbarrow Hill one cold February morning she was in poor condition. After a spell in the Margaret Green Foundation Trust Animal Sanctuary at Winterborne Kingston we adopted her she is now the most laid back, lazy and spoilt dog around and we love her!
We lost our previous German Shepherd, Quest more than two years ago after a short illness, we all miss her very much as she was part of the team. We decided to take on a puppy and we have called her Kim (pictured), she is now just over a year old and very boisterous!
On the website there are sections on Where we live. Our garden, showing you its development from a grassy expanse to a garden with flowers, vegetables and features.
My (Marilyn) studies with the Open University and Genealogy of the the Peddle and Meaker families. With my sister Christine's yearly family tree updates, "Under the Gooseberry Bush", about her quest to find as much information on the Meaker family as she can.
There is also some memories of Christine and Marilyn's time at Durweston school and growing up in rural Dorset, which we will add to as and when our recall allows!
The the website is an on-going development project for myself. At the moment I am setting up a Blog which is about the countryside where we live including our photography. There is also a new Photo Gallery, still under construction, but pictures are being added to it regularly. I am also in the process of making a gallery for my pictures I have used in competitions in our local Camera Club and some of my favourites. Plus the further development of the Meaker and Peddle genealogy data bases.
Thank you for looking at our site, we hope you have found something of interest. Please come back again.
