Hi Phoenix ..... The Black Country is only a relatively small area. We have our own language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmP6DyY8pfM I have so many lovely memories ... my travel agent sent me their latest coach holiday brochure. I turn the pages and I've been to most of...

Hi MD and Phoenix (and stargzer, if you're browsing). I've been bingeing on Last Tango in Halifax and really missing our yearly trip abroad. I want to put the kettle on and savor PG Tips (it is in our pantry). Hoping all is well with everyone here. We've had a very rainy w...

Hi MD, the poor soul was released from hospital yesterday, but has to go back for something called Gamma knife radiation on the 26th. Sarah and the kids are driving up to her to help out over the weekend.. ... long six hour drive as they live way up in the boonies. They'll have t...

Hi MD, I had to look up "Bosson Heads" and "the Black Country" to see what you were talking about.. Yup, I remember the heads, I used to know somone who collected them many moons ago, but it escapes me who it was.. old brain cells not being what they were! Did not know that part ...

Hi Phoenix .... I remember the chalky water at Broadstairs! It was very strange. My first 40 years or so were spent in the Black Country, not a very salubrious place but we have a saying - "Where there's muck - there's brass." So when hubby retired we decided to enjoy a hedoni...

Hi stargzr .... good to see you and that's a very nice link. I love to see Jon on Stephen Colbert's show. The Delta variant seems to be going berserk all over the world. I'm glad you took advantage of the lull last week. Have fun and stay safe.

Hi MD, hope you've had your second shot... I was all set for Seattle, new suitcase, new sneakers, then my daughter in laws Mum fell sick and landed in hospital. Ended up with brain surgery to remove a tumour.. there's two more, but inoperable. Also has some more throughout her bo...

Sweden has been having some unusual hot weather, but it seems the majority are enjoying it... should have air conditioning installed though as it can get too warm and stuffy inside the homes.

Hi MD, I had a look at the links you sent me... you have been extremely fortunate to have lived in these towns... beautiful!! The restaurant Le Bishop looks very cosy and inviting, no wonder you miss it. I only faintly recall the Model Village and Broadstairs, as I must have been...

Hiya Sue, (and all) I barely remembered how to sign on here. :) When I turned 80 a few months ago, I realized I was spending WAY too much time in front of a screen and needed to wean myself from the laptop and get back into real life. I do manage to peek in to this site every...

Hi Sue .... I love Grenoble. We used to stay in a hotel on a street that had alternating chestnut and horse chestnut trees. It was so pretty when they were full of blossom. Petit Suisse is actually made in the Normandy district of France ..... I have a French cheese map. L...

Grenoble! LOL. I can't type this afternoon. We toured the French Alps and I enjoyed the French pastries and something called Petti Suisse. It's cheese concoction that I've never found in the States.
