Carly found 104 letters and telegrams between her grandmother in England and grandfather in Canada. Every week she would open seven new letters, and then she would do as described in the letters in the next week.

Her grandmother and her grandfather met at a dancing party in London in May 1943 and they stayed together just for three days, and then her grandfather married her grandmother.

Now, 67 years later, Carly left her own husband in Canada, opened her grandmother’s letters and tried to follow the letters to retrace all the things in those letters.

So far, she has visited her grandmother’s birthplace in West Hampstead. She spent a day visiting Oxford and watching a film at the Marble Arch Cinema. Carly also plans to see her grandmother’s working place. Her grandmother passed away in 1998.

Carly even hopes to come back to Canada on the Queen Mary II, because her grandmother did all those years ago.

Rhoda Breakell, head of the Genes Reunited, said, “Her trip is inspiring, unusual and it is clear that she is really enjoying retracing her grandmother’s footsteps.”

An unhappy horse went to see the God. “My God! Thanks for making me but I want to be more beautiful.” The God was very surprised. “You are already beautiful.”

“No, I am not beautiful enough,” the horse lowered her head. “I don’t know how to make you more beautiful,” the God wondered. “Tell me what you want to be like.”

The horse raised her voice, “If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.”
