The Griffiths Family of  
Baxenden U.K.

    "Hello" from John and Lynne
To our American friends              
Words cannot express our sorrow at your suffering in New York and Washington on Sept 11th 2001. Th official mourning may be over but, like you, we will never forgive nor forget.
Also, we must not forget the atrocities in the London bombings on 7th July 2005 - our thoughts go to those who suffered in this apalling tragedy. It is difficult to fathom the minds of people who carry out these actions but we are convinced that there is no God who would condone such heinous acts of barbarism.

These pages are written for our family and friends, especially those friends whom we have met through email and who now correspond with us from all over the world - at least they can now put faces to names;but anyone at all can feel free to browse and are most welcome..............Stop awhile - have a cuppa !!
To make negotiating around this site easy (for me that is) I have brought you back to this page each time so that you can select another page to go to... if you understand what I mean ...!!!
Hello from Baxenden

We have tried to show how we live, where we live and have included some photographs of our family and of our local area.

Lynne and John live in Baxenden which is a village close to Accrington in the Borough of Hyndburn in the County of Lancashire. The children (all grown up now) have left home and live in different parts of the country. And last, but the most important member of the family and the friend of all of Baxenden:

..........Fred - Our Golden Labrador ........

Regrettably Fred died at the end of May 2000. Pages in his memory are linked below.
We now have another dog - he will never replace Fred - nobody will, but it seemed strange not having a dog around we got another Labrador from a Labrador Rescue Centre. His name is "Oscar" and you can link to his pages below. Early 2002 we got a black Labrador puppy called "Charlie" to keep Oscar company and his photos are included on Oscar's pages.
I have tried to keep the images as 'small' bytesize as possible so that they download quickly - it sometimes means a loss of quality but I'm sure you will understand!!
