Where's the diary gone??? Did the entries end already?  :'(

Just logged onto the site today, as always, and the page is not found!  ???
Did a Google search looking for answers, and found this thread instead. Oh how I wish I'd found it back in January!!!  ::)

Hmmm it does seem to have vanished.  It was there this morning though.  I'm sure it's just someone rearranging stuff and it will be back soon.  I think the last entry is Dec 12th, so there's definitely a bit more to come between now and then.

Heh well I only found it a month or so ago while googling about the diary, so I had plenty of catching up to do too.  But at least you found it in the end :)

It's all gone, all the Nat stuff, from the Westminster Council website. I suspect it's being rearranged as drykid suggested. Unless someone's hacked the site with the sole aim of removing Nat's diary...maybe a descendent of Ann Fox doesn't want us to know what happens this Sunday!!!!!

I was very sad to hear that Nat cut his middle finger today. I've done that, and it's blummin painful. It's interesting that he went out and bought a single sticking plaster...apparently they didn't come in boxes in those days. Mind you, that probably works quite well as I use up the rectangular ones first, and am always left with all the oddly shaped ones in the box at the end.

Yeah boxes of assorted plasters are a bit like tins of Quality Street; there's always something left at the end that's of no use to anyone. I'm surprised he didn't try borrowing a "plaster" off Ann, since we already know she has her own supply for strange purposes...

Well that's a bit more reassuring! I thought the diary had suddenly ended and they'd cleared it out! Like taking down the decorations on Boxing day!  ::)

Hi Cousin Deb!   :D
All well here and plodding along.   ;D

I've just been reading since part 6 and I'm amazed at how in depth it is! Never even occured to me, just reading the diary, that people were busy sorting out all the family lines, and trying to discover the identity of Mrs S!!!  :o

The entire libraries and archives section of Westminster is unavailable, obviously they're dusting the virtual shelves.

There was a series of programmes on the Tv earlier this year called The Victorian Pharmacy and one dealt with the making of plasters.  The pharmacist made them up on request, so Nat would have gone in with his injury and said "Make me a plaster for my finger".   I'm not sure what Ann would have said when she ordered hers earlier in the year .......... :o
