Georgia Girl, you are thinking, what has happened to you that you have not been posting your posts that I wait for in GREAT anticipation ? Guess what, I am very happy to tell you that Richard and I have been in ENGLAND! We have had a wonderful time and have taken so many photos that anyone reading this blog will become very confused with all the photos that you will see from England in my future posts! We have been very busy and having fun so not much time to be on this computer which belongs to my father-in-law. And may I just say how very grateful I am for my wonderful in-laws, thank you Joan and Peter for everything! (Give PeTe a treat for me!) xxx Thanks to Betty for watching the dog for us so we could go out too!
Georgia Girl, did you sing GOD SAVE THE QUEEN while you were there? You know I did! Hope to be home soon and to catch up with all of your blogs that I LOVE to read!
(The keyboard is different in England! The place to make a letter be a capital is in the same spot as the \ key, and the @ key is on the far right middle keyboard! There are other differences too, but you don't notice them until you hit the wrong key!)
It is funny how the slight differences in keyboards throw you off completely. I found that when I used one in Sicily last year. I'm glad you are having a good time in England; the weather is being typically English I am afraid! I joined in with a rousing chorus of Rule Britannia the other day, poor Zeke looked at me like his ears hurt!
Actually, I did wonder where you've been, Kay. I just hoped everything was okay. But it looks like there's nothing to worry about because you're on an adventure! This is wonderful. Can't wait to see your photos when you get back. Enjoy!
|was hoping to post more from England, but it just didn't happen. Sorry to worry you! We have had a wonderful adventure and lots of family and friends visits. Richard has some great photos which you will see shortly!! Can't wait to see your pictures of your garden!
Hello Kay: We have much enjoyed your 'all seasons' little video of Eastbourne, a town we often visit from Brighton when we are there, mainly for the excellent Towner Gallery. We are delighted to know that you have been enjoying what we imagine to be an extended holiday in the United Kingdom.
Wonderful, the Towner Gallery! We loved the photographs put together to make up the photos of the Queen. I daresay you will see this photo on one of my posts soon! The roses were beautiful, as were all the flowers. Glad you liked the video that I found!
Being from Georgia, we didn't mind it being a bit cooler and even rainy and windy at times. We will miss it when it is 100 degrees when we get back home!
Your postcard was the delight of my day yesterday! Seriously. Such a pleasant, pleasant surprise and it's now hanging front and center on my fridge. You are the best! Thanks for bringing such a smile to my day! And I was just about to email you yesterday to make sure you're okay when it arrived. I felt like you knew I was worried about you. (smile) I can't even wait for your England posts!!!
(My blog has missed you. You know I barely get any hits when you're not around. Haha!!!)
Dear Audrey! So glad that you got it and I REMEMBERED to take your address!! Eastbourne is lovely: it has the pebbled beach and the downs which stretch for miles and miles. You know you will see some photos from Richard!!
ENGLAND!!! As Tina Fey would say "I want to go to there" (nope, that's not a typo) anyway... I'm just dropping by to promote my latest design project called AFAWFAY. (short for A Furniture A Week For A Year) It's a personal design challenge where I'll come up with 1 furniture a week and post it in my blog. This project starts this week (June 9 2012) and updates will be made during saturdays or sundays, which also means I'll be posting at least 1 entry in my blog! YAY! see denisewy.com/afawfay for more details though new designs will be posted in my blog at denisewy.blogspot.com
Hey Lord Snuffy aka HENRY, Thanks so much for your hospitality. Loved your house and garden! MAYBE next time we will see it in the sunshine! :-) So happy to have an artistic sister in Sarah, makes me smile just to think of it. Give our love to your dear parents and look out for a post with photos of them!!
Eastbourne hey. But you were in the wrong part of the U.K. for good weather. Here on the Isle of Lewis we have had the most spectacular weather. The best in Britain. Whilst the Queen was in wind and pouring rain, up here it was blue skies and warm sunshine. Lovely. The sun is still shining now two days later. We really are lucky at the moment. So glad you enjoyed your visit to Eastbourne. I will be down there in early October. Back for the coffee and cakes!! Look forward to seeing more pictures (including my favourite Stone Mountain). Best wishes Pat
Dear Pat, There are two Fish & Chips restaurants that I ENJOYED in Eastbourne. The first one was The Odyssey which was near the Post Office and the other one was behind T.J. Hughes called The Fish Restaurant. (In that one, the owner asked me to sign her Guest Register...ask to see it and you will see what I wrote! :-) The weather was great until the last few days, lucky for me, my mother-in-law loaned me a terrific jacket!!!
Dear Pat, I am surprised at how quickly the weather can change even within an hour!! The winds today were something fierce but still marvelous in my books, I will be wanting this fresh air when I AM HOME in Georgia! (Stone Mountain can only be climbed in early, early morning in the summer, because it will be too HOT otherwise!!!)
Dear Kay, I am very much looking forward to see your pictures from England and read what you want to tell us about your holiday! Your postcard arrived - thank you so much for that, I'll take it to my Mum's today when I go there for lunch so that she can read it, too :-)
Dear Meike, We had a wonderful time and how fun to arrive and have a parcel waiting for me from Germany! Fantastic news about your Mum's Etsy shop! Hope we will both be able to get back into the swing of things soon, you know what it is like when you return from a long holiday! Richard took some great photos and you will see many of them soon on my posts!

I truly enjoy England in all kinds of weather! The wind today was something fierce. Reminds me of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day!

I've been wondering where you'd disappeared to Kay :) Look forward to all of your pics - btw, I'm so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteNow you know how I felt when you were in New Zealand!!!
DeleteWill be home soon and hope to catch up on some great blogs, like yours!
I'm so glad you have been to East Sussex. My favourite part of the country right now! Did you go to Rye?
ReplyDeleteWe did not get to Rye this time, but I have visited it before and I think it is lovely.
DeleteThank you so much for your comment! You have a wonderful blog!
Yes, you have been missed! Glad you're enjoying yourself in Blighty and look forward to plenty of photos on your return.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much Sulky Kitten! So far, I think we have taken about 500 photos. That might hold us for a while! :-)

Welcome home Kay.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good to see you and Richard and we hope you can make it over again in April.
It is still raining and the forecast is .......... wet,wet,wet.

Love,
Kay
