What's it All About?
Well, it's about as much of My Family, My Friends, My Life and its Events, as I can recall and cram in . . . .
On this website I introduce myself, 'The Toynes', my family and their lives, as well as my life and our photographs from more than 70 years - 40 of them hiding in the
shrubbery . . .
FIRST: A Whole Life
The Toynes, My Life, My Family and Our Travels - That's a 'Me & Mine' click.
THEN: A Life in Horticulture
Gardens, Plants, Techniques, Styles, Features, Wildlife - Good & Bad - and Ideas . . . this is where you'll find my latest photos to look at and use. Yes, USE!
I look forward to reading your comments in the 'About You' (that's 'you' NOT me!) and 'Get In Touch' Sections!

Have a Look at the Toyne Family Tree:
For several years I have been putting together a Family Tree for our Branch of the Toynes in Lincolnshire and elsewhere in the world (I have two children and further offspring in Australia and Glenna has umpteen cousins in America) - However, I must admit to being neither very good nor very consistent in my efforts and have resolved to look elsewhere for information and history than just the Web! Time permitting, I'll put this into practice soon . . .
