About
TinnerStreet was originally formed in 2004 and was an idea I had to encourage Dad to get involved in something new. As we’re both keen internet users and with a love of our family near, far and extended we decided to put together the website.
It’s gone through a couple of changes in the five years it’s been around and we are actively trying to add more information, photos, family news and of course doing more work on the family tree which can be found on the website itself at TinnerStreet.
I recently suggested to Dad that adding a blog to the site would be a handy thing, blogs are the next big thing on the internet as they’re easy to update people instantly with ongoing news, views and random silliness. The best part of a blog is those who want to keep up with things “down under” they are also able to comment so it opens up for extra conversation about relevant topics.
I do hope you’ll all find something of value here, whether you just visit to read our ramblings, or jump in the deep end and have a natter, it will be a lot of fun.
And if you’re totally new to the concept of blogs and blogging, feel free to go to the contact page (tab is up the top of the page and send me (Wendy) a message and I’ll explain it nice and easy for you.
Now the only thing left is – welcome and enjoy!
cheers,
Wendy
Dennis Street - a legend in his lunch time!
Dennis, from Kiveton Park from a mining family emigrated to Australia in 1963 with his new bride, the local Bobby's daughter and his in-laws. Now retired he enjoys time on the internet, volunteering at VMR, reading and learning more about his family history. The blog is the lighter side of the goings on of his life now and tales of the what he remembers of the good old days in Kiveton.
Wendy Preece - Boss the Younger
Wendy, Dennis' eldest daughter, computer and internet buff is the driving force behind getting her dad busy on the internet, all of the building of the website and blog is done by her (he just adds the content, but she's managed to teach him how to do a blog post). She will add some comic relief now and then as well as report on our day to day life at times. In Wendy's words "everyone is fair game! And someone needs to fill in the gaps when dad gets slack!"
