They're on their way Folks!

Just left them at a very nice pub in Shepperton (thanks for lunch Micca) and they're now safely off on their UK tour onlce they've seen the school play. They are armed with a Sat-Nav, but I think that luck, and a following wind (beware Micca & onions) will get them to their next destination.

I just hope that all the other cars on their route have been forewarned - safe journeys you Two! Don't forget to deliver all the hugs.....

It's a good thing I am broad minded! How many guys would allow their wives to go off on such a trip with another guy?
Yes, I'm very broad minded; they are on my mind all the time.

I'm assuming she's driving :)

They had better keep their eyes on the road. Laughter can be very distracting to a driver! Drive safe, you two, if you encounter this thread!

Kendall!!!! CELLAR!!!!!

Someone had to say it.
Having gone on multiple road trips with Micca, I can guarantee Jacqui will get into nothing she is not willing to get into. And both will have fun.

Don't eat the sticky candies, Jacqui.

Yeah, Captain, Micca is a bit of a randy old centaur, but I think Jacqui's biggest risk is having to sit through all 43 verses of Julius Caesar, the Roman Geezer.

It's impossible to get lost in the UK - it's too small, and there are squillions of signs. And we drive on the correct side of the road.   :-) :-)

Backwoodsman, I know. First time I visited England I was thrilled to be able to drive at 70 mph on the wrong side of the road.

Actually, the PROPER side of the road is whatever side most others are driving on.

An old man was on the Maine turnpike when his daughter called him on his cell phone. She told him to be careful because the news report just said there was a crazy old fool going the wrong way on the turnpike. He said to her "What do you mean, A crazy fool? there are hundreds of them"!

We had a Fantastic day yesterday!!
We dined the previous evening at the local pub near Cats'place it involved a firstrate main course followed by a most unusual Creme Brúlee made with Sloe Whiskey and Honey!!! which was light, subtle and satisfying without being sweet and sickly. Then after a "crossing of the Car park" that was like an ice rink we came back here.
This morning friends of Cats came and we all went to Boscastle!! that looked so familiar after all the footage I had seen of the floods. and the Witchcraft Museum (which is closed for the winter) was opened for just us to get a Personally guided tour! this included the Library (not usually open to casual Visitors) and some good conversation, which continued in the Pub for lunch ( aREAL Cornish pub with beams and an open fire and locally produced food.
Then off to visit Hawker in her home and an afternoon of good conversation (as the only male present I did a LOT of listening) and all the while we were there a black cat slept on a cushion as if carved out of coal!! Then back to a relaxed evening of dinner then Folk on BBC 4 and a good nights sleep!!

Saturday morning and we all slept late after staying up late to watch the folk programmes on BBC4.

Yesterday was great - the Witchcraft Museum was fascinating, particularly being taken round by three people who really knew their stuff. We found a couple of little shops with bright shiny stuff that was really nice to look at, although nothing really jumped out and said 'buy me'. Spending the afternoon with Lucy (Hawker) in her cottage that is almost as old as Cats's house, was a real treat. Time passed very quickly, there seemed to be so much to talk about. We came back through the country lanes in the dark - glad I wasn't driving - to a wonderful meal and an evening of entertaining television.

We've eaten out twice, both times in lovely old pubs, and been served amazingly good food on both occasions. The evening meal on Thursday was beyond any expectation - all local grown food and wonderfully fresh. Heaven!

BAWWW! Sure, rub it in! I'm stuck here with a very depressed dog and my own cooking. Where are all my women friends now that I need them?

Becca came for dinner last night; we watched a DVD titled "Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas", as we have every Christmas since she was a little girl.
I feel sorry for anyone who has never met my little girl.

Kendall, should I feel sorry for you? I know what a good cook you are. Female company two evenings running isn't bad either - probably time you had a rest. :0)

A few photos to follow Chance, once we download them from Micca's camera.

Terry - I'll be back in London on Monday - hoping to get to Herga that evening, then up to Newark on Wednesday for a few days. Somewhere along the line I must meet up with Sarah The Flute and pass on her goodies. Too much fun, not enough time.

We spent the day getting lost in Callington and then took a drive out to Looe, where Micca picked up some blackberry liqueur and took a few photos. Came back down a one way lane that was JUST wide enough for the car and then down lots a windy little roads, uphill and down, most of the way back to Cats's house. It is certainly interesting driving the roads down here!

Tonight Cats has friends coming to join us for dinner, including a man I have wanted to meet for a while, Mike O'Connor. Should be a good evening.

Captain, you won't see me until the sniffles pass. Two weeks of coughing and making gross noises. Trust me - you don't want it.
But how is my puppy?
And who is this Oliver that Micca has taken to his bed?
Jacqui, did the shiny things dance, sing, ring or make any noise? Hard to believe you passed them up.

Jacqui - if you get to Herga on Monday, I not only can pick up the Captain's Elgin watch, but can also give you a CD to replace the one you passed on to Maeve and Truelove...

Hope you've had a great time with Mike O'Connor (and Tina).

Sinsull, If I get a chance I'll get a pic of Oliver then you will see the attraction!

Narrow Lanes!! They weren't narrow, they'm be dual carriageways... two strips of tarmac with grass down the middle. You can get a car down so what's the problem... OK so you didn't meet the milk tanker or the odd tractor but makes it easy to back up. Anyway it helps to keep the sides of the car clean, the grass on the banks rub the dirt off.
