Phew! My busy week is over! I spent over 12 hours out of the house today – something I very rarely do. I caught the 7.30am train out of West Worthing to get me into London by 9.15am for the Who Do You Think You Are? exhibition in Kensington Olympia. I was manning our Anglo-Italian Family History Society stand. We had a very busy day, loads of enquiries at our stand, and people dying to tell us their stories! It is a great day, but exhausting! Especially after the other things I have done this week.
These are the 2 members who helped me today. Lorraine on the left shares the same great-great grandfather as me – Giovanni Fumagalli, who came over from Italy in the 1870s! Not sure what relation we are, cousins 3 times removed or something like that! On the right is Kathy. We packed up our stand about 5pm, so I didn’t get home until nearly 7.30pm! Luckily I had prepared the dinner on Friday, so all Maurice had to do was cook some vegetables, and we relaxed with a couple of glasses of red wine and the winter Olympics on the telly!
