It was my Grandmother's maiden name; she was Anna Lorna Bellew. The name is Norman French, derived from "Bel Eau", beautiful water, and is to be found in the Roll of Battle Abbey among the followers of William the Conqueror.

A few days ago, I became aware of mild chest pain; as you can imagine, chest pain is something to which we are a teeny bit sensitive. It was not severe, and it didn't really feel like the cardiac pain I have experienced before, but it persisted for several days. Jo and I therefore consulted with our GP by telephone, and he suggested we should hail a passing http://www.dahlfamily.org/blogs/2007/03/minor-blip.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (-norman-)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23485833.post-4872856142879664423Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:04:00 +00002007-03-11T00:26:55.123ZAmy has won a Merit Award from the examining authority, the Australian College of Music, in her recent Prep 1 examination for the piano.

Apart from being shaken up, she has also fractured a bone in her right forearm (the radius). The break is very close to the elbow and cannot be splinted effectively, so she has to keep her arm immobilised in a sling for the next six weeks or so.
