Although normally not known for its sunny and warm weather it is promising to be fairly chilly. I understand the rare snow that locals have been experiencing has now melted and turned into slush and ice. I was hoping to see the beautiful dales with snow… and maybe gracing Stonehenge? We shall see.
Everyone should see Stonehenge at least once in their life… any pictures I will definitely share. Here are a few taken from Flickrcc. I love this site!
The house and cat sitter are all set up and we are all packed and ready to go. The sad part (besides the long flight) is that I will not have access to a computer for more than a few minutes here and there. Sadly, posts will be at a hiatus until we return and comment moderation will be slow.
So dear readers and friends “Ta Ta for now”! I can taste the fish and chips now and the beer… can’t forget the beer… and the cheese, and the curry… who ever said that England has lousy food is mistaken! My mouth is watering.
Take Care Everyone!
Take care and we'll miss you, Shellie! You are so lucky you get to see Stonehenge; hopefully I can make it there when kiddo is older (and she can appreciate it too).
ReplyDeleteHave a pint for me (Newcastle Brown)!

Diane -

You and JD will be sorely missed, but have a great, safe trip! I'll wait right here for you to come back. [waiting, waiting, wat...]
ReplyDeleteOh Charlie -
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you said sourly missed...oh dear. lol.
Just don't hold your breath!
Shellie
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time in England and that Stonehenge isn't closed. The weather here has been awful, but I hope we have a early spring for your visit.
Gaynor -
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Me too. If not it looks like we will have to do Windsor. :(
If not next trip will be the Stonehenge visit.
Have a fantatic time - the snow hasn't stopped just yet so you might be in luck. British curry rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Jolly Old, my dear Muse! :D
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've got a must review book for you: TRANSCEND:Nine Steps To Living Well Forever by Ray Kurzweil & Terry Grossman, MD Rodale, 2009. Even if you have to do it pro bono, it will be well worth it 'cuz this will be literally a life changing book for you, your hubby, and all your readers.
Couple of quick quotes:
About The Power of Ideas -
"Here is a suggestion for an idea that you can adopt today that will change your life: You alone are responsible for your health - not your doctor, not your relatives, not your friends. You alone are the pilot, you're the only one on the plane."
About Exercising your Mind -
"So, here's a useful suggestion on what you can think about to keep your brain healthy: "Contemplate how to keep your brain - and body - healthy. You can start by adapting the suggestions in this book into your personal plan!"
About lucid dreaming -
'Reader:, "Well, for all the workaholics among us, we can now work in our dreams. Not sure my spouse is going to appreciate this."
Ray: "Actually, you can think of it as getting your dreams to do your work for you."
Well, enough fun. Time to get back to my studies @ [ http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp ]<--- Free school for webaholics! :D

ReplyDeleteThanks!
Yes curry in the US tends to be a bit wimpy, especially in the Phoenix metro.
It was sunny and not too cold yesterday - in the dales N Yorkshire. Not sure about down South.
Love the new avatar!
Dennis -
Thanks for the book tip. Looks interesting...
All the books we review here are pro bono... or in exchange for a copy. ;)
Oh Geee! You, little traveler you! It's awesome and I am of course jealous because I want to visit both Napa Valley and England. I hope you have the grandest time!
ReplyDeleteLily -
ReplyDeleteThank you! Its been fun so far, and the weather has warmed up a bit for a few days.
Had curry last night and off to Southern England tomorrow - hopefully Stonehenge will be open - fingers and toes are crossed.
Looks like yo are having a blast! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSheila -
ReplyDeleteYes - We are having a blast. We are all "woozy and headachey" from a pub crawl last night.
What fun!
Thanks for the comment!
Have a great time! I can't wait to hear all about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteShelley -
ReplyDeleteWe are having so much fun and I promise to bore everyone with some interesting picture of stonehenge.
Should be back and semi awake around the 9th.
Thanks for stopping by. :)
Sounds like a fabulous trip...I'm jealous. Although yes, the dead of winter isn't likely an optimal time for an English vacation...should still be great.
ReplyDeleteHey Okie -
ReplyDeleteAs JD would say you don't visit the UK for the weather even in summer. Having been here a bunch of times over the years I have to agree.
We have been lucky however this trip and although cold with a little snow we have seen a bit of sky and sun. No complaints here.
Thanks for stopping by.
Shellie! I gave you an award!
