The Family of one Charles Bruce

Well as I said on Day 6 of Twitter 365 I took a photo of my family after dinner. My Uncle was leaving, the following Day to return to the hometown and childhood house of my Grand Parents, my Dad and he.
As you do we got to chatting about history and low and behold the above photo presented itself being a photo of my Great Grandfather Bruce and the tribe. They lived in a town known as Cadia not far from Blayney on the Western Slopes of the Blue Mountains in NSW.
The town disappeared when the mine became no longer viable to operate and like so many others Charlie moved his family to the North Coast to work on the duplication of the Sydney Newcastle rail line.
So now I have the bug again and am going to try and trace my Grandfather a bit further back. I shall share a bit more as we go along. Will also share some of this with my mate Allan Cockerill over at Coffee with Allan - he is quite into the History of the area.

Twitter 365 - Day 6

So Tuesday 7th January - worked from home a fair bit of it headed into office for an appointment.
Any way as I promised myself I would - went to Mum and Dad's for Dinner. Nice night and my Uncle was going to be heading back to Sydney so was good to catch up. So in this photo is my Uncle Jim, My Mum and My Dad and yours truly on Day 6

Twitter 365 - Day 4

Well when I find Day 3 I will let you know - seems my time was so consumed with so many Birthday wishes. It is a very Humbling experience that so many people spent the time just to say Happy Birthday. Between my phone, my email, my Facebook and Plurk I had hundreds of friends say Hi. I have tried to respond to you everyone and if I have not sorry - I do thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The testimony to Social Networking comes home so powerfully on those occasions - thank you all I am so blessed to know each and everyone of you.

Day 4 finished with a nice meal and a great glass of Red with friends.
