		<title>A Family Gathering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How wonderful to be able to spend time with my father&#8217;s brother Uncle Geoff. My father was one of 4 brothers born and brought up near Flint in Wales. As my father emigrated to New Zealand in 1951, I knew of my uncles but I had never met any of them. Uncle Geoff is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to get started Writing&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hardest part is just starting&#8230;.
Think about this&#8230;.. Most of us do not have any trouble talking. We meet someone and we start talking. If its a family member or a friend out it all comes, usually without any thought as to how we compose the sentences, what word we start a sentence with, how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imaginary Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a great question to ask others when you&#8217;re writing your family history. When I put this question to a group of 20 women recently, most of them had had an imaginary friend in their childhood. They hadn&#8217;t thought about these childhood memories for years.
Some of the friends were children around their own age [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dolls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to share one of my stories about dolls. I loved them. I guess because I was an only child until 7 years old, dolls were my companions.
The photo in the last post was taken on Christmas day&#8230;you can tell that because we&#8217;re dressed up in our best clothes. I so wanted the latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Typical Family Photo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mum, Dad and daughter. Nothing particularly interesting about this photo&#8230;.you wouldn&#8217;t know where it was, why it was taken. There&#8217;s nothing of historical importance either.

However when I thought about it there was a lot to tell&#8230;.that only Mum, Dad and I would know. These are the steps to where we lived in Rangiatea Rd, Epsom, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Childhood Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a way you can show your childhood if you don&#8217;t have very many photos. Just adhere the photos to your page and write your story a bit like a narrative.

Start each different section of your childhood in a new paragraph. Just write it down as if you were telling someone the story. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trolley Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Don&#8217;t they look cute?
When I first put this photo of my husband and his older brother in our album I labelled it &#8220;Trolley Time &#8211; around 1951&#8243; And on the next page of the album is the following photo labelled &#8220;Ian &#038; Lindsay 1956&#8243; This is fine&#8230;. as labels go. Just recently I asked Lindsay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Every Photo Has A Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this photo&#8230;.

When my mother-in-law Nancy, died in 2003 she left a pile of photos in a shoe box, as so many people do. On the back of this one was written &#8220;Beth, Nancy &#038; Isobel at Flaxton Beach&#8221; From other photos in the box I&#8217;ve figured out it was taken around 1939/1940. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Decade&#8230;. It&#8217;s Time to Write Your Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2009 has finished.  
All the events both happy &#038; sad are now memories. The trouble with our memories is that they fade or even alter if we don&#8217;t recall the events frequently. Sometimes we hold onto the sad or horrible memories for too long and in the process the good ones fade or are [...]]]></description>
