Hard to believe

Hi Donna, lovely to see your name here again, how are you? 

Mrs Tvman's latest scan was clear, NED. She had a replacement hip operation six weeks ago and is improving day by day. 

As for me, my bloods are still poor. I'm still on 3 treatments a week, every week in life, no sign of an end but I'm staying positive and although I have spinal stenosis and still in a lot of pain I'm enjoying working in the garden. Bit cold sometimes though!!

Seeing your name here has instantly raised my spirits Donna.

Hi Stella, I believe that the programme Say Nothing has only started here and I have found it on All 4. I've watched 3 or 4 episodes now and although you describe it as interesting, I think it's a tough watch and it makes me feel uncomfortable because it's very real in its portrayal of past activities but I'll watch it all.

The Jean McConville story is true in which she gets kidnapped, never to be seen alive again and leaving around 10 children on their own. She is still one of The Disappeared that have never had their bodies discovered despite numerous searches of fields, forests and bogland that aren't covered in national news reports but frequently covered in our local news programmes.

Going back to the jigsaw, and the pics of said jigsaw on the Daily Chit Chat thread, that is a Tower Press puzzle 6926.  I googled the image in google lens and found a few for sale in USA. 

One item is listed as "Minster Amiens St Fermin jigsaw puzzle".  It shows on the side of the box, the product description "Amiens St Fermin.  Gothic Rose window in the face of the north trancept".  

And the "companion" to this puzzle is listed as Chester Cathedral. 

Here it is blown up a little. But it's blurry anyway on the original post I screenshotted it from. 

Here's the link to that listing > here.

Yes, you're right Mmum. I found the same when I image googled mine. I have put a post on another thread elsewhere. I did think though that Chester Cathedral was another one and a third was Cathedral Church etc but I since realised that what I thought were another 2 are in fact just 1. I didn't see the comma lol. 

I've actually been in Chester a few times on our way back from visiting our daughter near Peterborough and we went into Chester before getting the ferry back to Belfast.

I have always thought that what I had was a York Minster window but I now believe it to be a stained glass window from a church in Amiens in France. 

Thanks for your research Mmum, you're very kind.

Hi Tvman

I have friends from NI. He said the TV programme Say Nothing is very good too. I find it gives views for both sides. I didn’t realise how the catholics were treated during the troubled times. Also how IRA behaved among themselves either. 

I think there is some very good tours in Belfast that covers both sides of the city. It would be on my list to go to. X
