JANE SINGH DULAY

I have been over to jane's house to-day. I had heard that someone had knocked the front door down and done a robbery. However what really happened was that someone had reported her missing to the police, when in fact she was still in Airedale hospital. Jane is now home. She is drinking a bottle of 5% abv Strongbow cider every day. but apparently has given up smoking.

STRANGE TIMES

Yesterday 6th January 2015. It is just 24 years to the day since our family tragedy occurred. My late Brother Arthur Dudley Craven a very successful business man. He had spent the Christmas period surrounded by his family. One the 12th day of Christmas he took down the Christmas tree, and went to dispose of it in Ilkley. After disposal he drove his car to Thruscross Reservoir, filled his expensive sheep skin coat pockets with heavy stones and walked out into freezing water. News was on the television Police divers went to search for his body. In  the event it was never found until they drained the reservoir in April. Yesterday this year his daughter Jane S

Singh Dulay was discharged from Hospital Above is a picture of our mother Edith Craven, Nee Rimmington

110 Years to-morrow

110 years ago tomorrow my Father Lawrence Craven was born. He always said that he was born in Wensley Bank West in the village of  Clayton a suburb of Bradford West Yorkshire Strangely enough his birth Certificate says that he was born in Albert Street Clayton. He was a man of great talents. In those days before decimal currency they had pennies, with twelve pennies equal to one shilling, and shillings equal to twenty shillings to the pound. That made two hundred & forty pence to the a pound. He was the only person I ever met who used to add up all three columns at once. Most people would add up the pennies, divide by twelve and call the remainder pennies. Then add up the shillings, divide by twenty call them Pounds. He was wonderful magician some of his tricks he taught me. He had a wonderful turn of phrase. For example he always said that whilst he wore the trousers in their home, Edith my mother always told him when to put them on and take them off. He once had problems with the electricity supply to our home. After writing and telephoning many times to the electricity board and getting no response. He rang them up & said don't bother coming, I have connected a meccano strip across the terminals and everything now works well. Needless to say they were there within the next two and a half hours. I still remember his arm number 14661222 which for those of my friends & relation who don't like it, is exactly divisible by 3 What I hadn't realised until recently was that the difference in ages between him and his youngest brother edwin was 8 and a half years.
