Thanks to Ancy (late Francisca's sister from Donvaddo, and ex-Lourdes Convent, 1970s) for sharing it. If I remember right, Ancy (in Canada for many years) is a nurse, one of the many who went to St Martha's (Bangalore) from Saligao and picked up both skills and a huge dose of kindness-towards-the-patients there.

You're on the list, Julia, except that everything has been very, very silent here...

I was caught up with a hectic publishing workload in Dec-Jan, and am only now finishing, but not quite.

Just this evening, while passing by Willy's shop at the Tinto, I saw a poster which spoke of a jumble sale at Asro in Arrarim. But when I peered in closely, the dates were already over, mid-week!

For those who know her, Daphne (Saldanha) phoned to say she would was in Goa and would be spending some time in the village to introduce it to the next generation. Celia write in from the UK to find out some family tree related content. Please post your queries here.

Had a long and interesting chat with Simon Fernandes (anyone remembers an active -- naughty? -- boy with a big black hat in the 1970s?)

This much for now. Why don't the others also post something? Anything?

Radio silence isn't good for too long :-)

Oooh la la! Finally some news! ....... Saligao.....


Julia! .....Good one! 


Cant seem to decipher where this Portuguese Villa is, but then I am not that techno savvy....I must have made a boo boo somewhere......😱  But at least good to hear about Ancy - Canada (sister of Francesca, Fernando....) from Donvaddo.  Lost touch with most.....getting old  & all the rest of it......I dont access my mail too often.  


Radio Silence??? 😱 knew I was getting old,  but .......  radio silence?????.....Guess I belong to the old school & how!!! good to read your paras Rico! ....finally! Welcome back! 😉   Busy eh? No wonder I didnt meet you during my short trip to Goa & passed by your place just one day but you werent at home.  


Ah missed opportunity eh? ....jumble sale?  


Of course most of us will know the Saldanhas.  What a pity .... 26 days too late ......missed  opportunity!!!


Umm! Which Simon is this?  Brother of Connie, Esther?.....from Mudavaddo?  Guess not! He would come within our bracket rather than Rico's.

Uh! oh! Hope I have followed your instructions Rico -  done the needful - posted something!😉😊  

Saligaokars around the world......I wish you ..good morning, good day, good night .....depending where you are at the moment. It is good afternoon here.

Ciao

Hi Annette,

A closer look at the villa and its owner reveals it to be belonging to Majorie D'sa, who I think is on this list. the listing is run by her daughter Jade. Its a lovely place in Donvaddo on the way to the hill.

Trust Annette to break the silence. Many thanks!

You're right about Simon!

We were also talking on the same point. About the vaddo.

As Fr Nascimento repeatedly reminds us, it is Muddavaddi (not Muddavaddo).

We could not however understand why this 'gender' difference.

Ashley! Thanks! got it! Do these sort of old houses (villas when done up) come under the term Portuguese Villas? First time I hear such houses named such!!! Guess most of the houses in Saligao could be named such if one uses the term for the huge houses (villas?) that were built a long time ago - 1810 or somewhere then I think. Portuguese era?  I have never been a history fad if I had to study, now just reading as a story....then history is ok,  I think......😊  


And yeh, which is Marjorie's villa then - the one she is staying in, which was Ancy's house before; or the one opposite which is where Marjorie, her siblings & her parents have been staying through the the years that I have known them? 


Rico, thanks for the feedback.  I heard the vaddo being called Muddavaddi often enough but clamped it with the other two vaddos whose people claim that the St. Anne's Chapel belongs to all three vaddos - hence - Tabravaddo, Donvaddo and Muddavaddo. I am sure Fr. Nasciment can explain about the "gender" difference 😉 There must be a story behind it & mentioned in his book....so guess we missed it.    


Mentioned before about getting old....so the tubelight in my head has yet to come on......referring to the lines of Dilip & FN ...grrh!

Annette,
Muddavadi it is :)

And Simon Fernandes, brother of Connie, Esther etc it is too!!!    He is now retired, been here in AD and Dubai for a while.

Strangely he was one in the Village with most hair on his Crown, now he has none :)   Very fit and amiable as ever before, lives in a flat accross the border in Sangolda village.

Someone wrote to me today, commenting on a Facebook photo: "You have lost a bit of hair since we last met," or something to that effect.

My two-word unfunny response was: "A bit?"

Simion stopped by, since he remembered Dad. He had not encountered us, but remembered the "two small boys". He was very surprised when I remembered not just him, but also his black cowboy hat of the 1970s. We must have spoken for two hours that evening.... 

Ricky also remembered Simon very well. Two of his sisters were our respective classmates -- Cyntia and Gloria. Those were times when everyone in Saligao knew everyone else. Or almost. It was also a chance to catch up with my classmate Michael, who married another of Simon's sisters. Small world, Saligao is.

I was trying to egg Simon on to have a small, informal talk about his days in Saligao in the 1970s. He is considering doing so... but might need some more badgering. Please lend a hand!

Interestingly, as soon as I read about Simon with the black cowboy hat, the same Simon (Cynthia and Connie's brother) came to mind.  In my days growing up in Saligao in the '70s he was a 'legendary' figure...being the only person I knew (at the time) who owned and (religiously!! 😜) wore a black cowboy hat!! What memories!!  Haha

Thanks Frederick...always good to hear news from Saligao no matter what the content is and valued thanks to you for keeping us posted and informed.... though not quite sure who Dilip Dacruz's comments are directed to?!

Surely we can rise above that and deal or relate to news and khobhor in a constructive manner?  

I was merely asking why there were no postings!  thanks for enlightening me....and the flurry of emails thereafter!

Take care and warm regards

Julia.

Well Julia, at least your mail about postings got some of us out of the woodwork. Dont worry about the comments.....there are always these.....good, bad, medium?😉  as long as some news....khobor... of Saligao reaches those of us interested but too far to do much else,  what does it matter eh?


Recently I received the Saligao Church bulletin...made interesting reading!  


& yeh! thanks to Rico and all others who do give us news of our village now & then......& of people with whom we have lost touch through the years.


Goodnight to all .... some of our Saligaonkars are probably waking up now - middle of the morning during the weekend? -  & I know that my relatives & friends in NZ will be awake in the next one hour.  Guess all will be enjoying their weekend whereas we have come to the end of ours & start our week tomorrow! grrh!


Take care, stay well wherever you all are at the moment  

Regards 

Annette
