For those keen followers of genealogy and celebrities, tonight is the last one in this series, Tracey Emin.
Here is a photo of her little painted, cast-metal 'mitten' sculpture displayed on railings in the Bayle, Folkestone, in the little garden. There is also another tiny sculpture of hers on the base of one of the stone square bases to a'palm tree' there.

could be interesting to discover her ancestry, maybe she finds that she is the first in her family to be born without a tail.

Thank you Kath, I must watch that I am a HUGE Tracey Emin fan. Just finished her book my life in a column, it was a really good read. I would love to meet her.

Re the mitten sculpture, she has a thing about lost baby clothes she finds in the street and has to put them to one side i.e. on a railing or window ledge. I guess this has influenced her work!

In my father's line, Henry II is my great.......great grandfather (wrong side of blanket unfortunately), on my mother's side one of the knights who murdered Thomas Becket (le Breton) also figures. Le Breton settled in Canterbury and was the patriarch of the Brett family, which is my mother's maiden name.

Well obviously me as Harold and his descendants were dispossessed of the throne by Willie the Conqueror.
