The rainwater is building in the fields.
Usually a favourite pit stop area for the mad pup but strangely not today.
On the path, a once clean golden retriever was proudly showing off its new caked mud look while it’s owner muttered something about her pride and joy encountering a garden hosepipe real soon….
A garden hosepipe option that isn’t available to our 84 month old puppy due to to some of his very own premeditated, over zealous chewing. Definitely lots of chewing DNA in our pet, way more than in me I guess.
I should ask my sister about that.
A few days back she phoned me to excitedly tell me about her DNA heritage results test. I’ve always thought about checking mine out to see where I kinda came from apart from Yorkshire. Well unless my sister has some dodgy results or if my parents didn’t tell me about some really important stuff, THEN I now have clarity. On this walk I pondered a shocking fact…. I’m not as Yorkshire as I assumed. My DNA appears to be only 50% English. Further my sister has been doing some family history digging as well and it looks like there is a lot of Lancashire in me. On NO Yorkshire’s biggest rivals, WE’VE had wars with them…. If people find out, I might lose my Yorkshire Passport and Rhubard Privileges.
Apparently I’m also 30% Welsh (why can’t I sing then….), 12% Scottish and 8% Scandinavian. Viking DNA is not unexpected as they did invade this part of the world. I might look quite fetching stood in a longboat dressed as a Nordic Warrior. In my dreams 😂😂😂😂😂

So does rhubarb privilege entitle you to automatic substitution without question or cost? You did say you hated it didn’t you. Or are you talking about a different kind of rhubarb?

No 2 people have the exact same DNA results. Have you tested your own DNA 🧬 or are you basing your conclusions on you sister’s DNA results? Best to do your own test.

I’m a lot Viking, as on both parents, as Mother from the Danes, Father from some Icelandic roots. You can see it most in my very tall blonde, blue eyed son.

Hey, this is very cool that you have so much from many parts of mankind. This makes you a special remedy. My parents are/were both Viennese and so were their parents. But I am sure they will find some Native American traces in my blood.

Very cool. My son wanted his DNA profile, and he’s quite a blend of nationalities. He proudly talks about his Asian and UK heritage, having a grandparent from each place, and has a bit of this and that from other spots around the globe. He truly represents the melting pot that is the US.

Oddly enough my daughter has just done hers too. It tells us she is only 49.3% my daughter!!!

Actually it would say that 49.3% of her DNA is like yours; the other 49.7% would be like her dad’s.

it is nice that your sister shared her DNA results with you, however, your results should you test would not be the exact same as your sister. One person in a family could have 30% of a region and another in the same immediate family could only have a small % of the same region. One person could have DNA from one country and another in the same family could have none of that country in their DNA. This is the case for my three grown children. They share some commonalities, but the percentages are different. Also not all their DNA regions are the same.
