Hi Everyone,
I'm Jinksy & I've just joined LOL. What a great Site and what a wonderful source of News & Info about Lowestoft (OK I admit peeking before joining).
I live in Kirkley, right by the Seafront, and love it. I'm a retired Nurse. Personally I think the word 'retired' is misleading, because now I seem to be busier than ever! I'm into Family & Local History, walking, reading, my PC, lunching with friends & spending as much time with my family as possible.
I have a much-loved Yorkshire Terrier who is 16 years old.
I've traced my Suffolk Family History back to 18th Century &, yes, I did find a couple of skeletons in the cupboard.

FC -- He is waiting for someone to ask how they know it is a gypsy. Then he will come out with the punchline.

Welcome to the site, Jinksy! There are many of us who live in sunny Kirkley, too, as well as several people on LOL with ties to the medical community, so I think you'll find some people with the same interests and background as you.
Enjoy the site!

Really, is that a true story then Jinksy, please come back and tell us all mick, speaking of that they found a tiny baby`s body near our peir in 1981, and yesterday they said locally that they now have D N A and are reopening the case after all those years it`s amazing isnt it.

Hi Sunny! I hope you're managing to keep warm in Weymouth. Hi Jinksy I woke up this morning and thought `doesnt it seem warm`, and since I have been up I see we are almost back to our normal temps for this time of year, so guess the bitterly cold spell has passed, hope so for those who have suffered through it, we are lucky here weather-wise though. Hope you are the same in Lowestoft, love your smileys !
