Penyffordd's Resident Family Tree Expert

http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/local-news/ask-expert-clwyd-family-history-6637370

As one gets older I suppose its natural to ask who one's relatives of the past were. Some families live local lives whilst others spread the globe. I'd done a little asking around but got very stuck on my father's side backwards.

Last December I had a surprise email asking me if I was so and so and was my father named Derek , David.

This has led to an opening up of the family history that goes back to the 1850's. This journey made possible by a distant relative has been very enlightening. A few photos with no names attached now have meaning. Including the one below. This is a photo of my grandad, grandmother, grandmother's sister, my dad and his brother.

Buying a new house in Penyffordd?

Or elsewhere for that matter.

There is a new wheeze to extract yet more money from you.

You pay your rates and for many of us that's it. Not if you buy a new house on a new estate though. There are management or service fees. These fees are open ended. 

In the article that follows you will be told that residents have control of the fees.
This is complete tosh !

Step forward Redrow and FCC

106 agreements are involved

Flooding

has been the headline of the media this last few weeks.

It would appear that august body The EU are causing it.

Our Government and the WAG gold plating it
We're very good at gold plating stuff to do the country the maximum harm.
You would wonder who our civil service actually work for.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/13/flooding-public-spending-britain-europe-policies-homes

Apparently we the UK advise countries around the world how to deal with flooding but ignore our own advice.
Control of course rears its ugly head.

Do what the EU wants or we stop your money.
Its called total control, the Common Agricultural Policy.

Penyffordd House Safety Review

Your fridge and freezer sit there so innocently. Do you put your washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher on then go out to work or go to bed? Perhaps you need to think again.

Although as a commenter says "what about fridge and freezer"
