From Anita Benson: Lockdown has brought its challenges. Full of good intentions, I planned to: (a) contact my many DNA matches (very few have ever contacted me); (b) go through my family tree with a fine-tooth comb looking for errors and people who need further research; (c) catch up with my reading; (d) learn some new Yiddish words; (e) brush up my Hebrew reading skills. To be truthful, most of the above did not happen apart from the DNA matches, and of those that did reply we could not manage to work out how we were actually related. I have learnt some new Yiddish words thanks to Facebook and Yiddish word of the day taught by a lady called Rukhl Schaechter. However, as I am fortunate enough to have a garden – albeit a rather messy one – I decided to grow vegetables. So far the potatoes are growing at an amazing rate, as are the runner beans, chard, onions and herbs. By the way, they are all in containers so even if you only have a balcony it can be achieved. Thank...
