Let's have early happy hour and a little whine! in shiny things
I am at work, but I am done. Done done done. Done with this day, done with this week, done with last week too. It has just been GRUELING. It’s early registration, so that’s to be expected, but, O...
Ummmm.... ooooops!!! in shiny things
Massive apologies for clogging up everyone’s Unread Bookmarks with 42,501 entries about a trip to England I took 9 1/2 years ago!!! I am lucky lucky lucky enough to have made three trips since th...
very random survey from marg in survey time
OMG I’m making more than one entry in a six month time frame! This is directly due to being in a massively slow period at work, which is quite unusual. Yes, I do realize work is not for writing/r...
Parental Woes in shiny things
It’s been a very stressful winter as far as our parents are concerned. Mine, Baker B’s, and Kim’s. Baker B’s mom fell for the twenty-zillionth time in mid-January, thought she was okay and wouldn...
Philly trip in shiny things
SO, I wrote this big long entry on Friday about my recent trip to Philadelphia for a work related conference, and by “wrote” I mean I rambled and digressed and went on ten gazillion tangents, as ...
*Two months?!?!?* in shiny things
How have I gone two months without showing up here at all, let alone making an entry?? And I was so determined to start writing regularly again. Although I suppose an entry every two months could...
the stolen-from-marg survey at last in shiny things
This is what I started to do on my last, ages-ago entry, before getting derailed by a rant about Hurricane Florence cancelling my only vacation plans for the entire year waaaahhhhh!!! And as an u...
Not a survey in shiny things
Well, I’d started a survey stolen from Marg, since that’s about the only way to get me to make an entry these days, but after going on and on and on for one question, I decided maybe I better jus...
a catch up with a visual of clouds lifting temporarily in shiny things
Well of course I haven’t made an entry since I was frantically searching for pumps to wear to Cousin E’s daughter’s wedding, despite my repeated vows that I’ll start writing regularly again. Oh,...
Why are there NO NORMAL PUMPS?!? in shiny things
(I actually wrote this on OD July 1… and forgot to post it here!! I’ve decided it’s easier to post there first if I have pictures. Mostly because Flickr, where I keep my photos, is such a massive...
Work chat in shiny things
Oh, look, it’s been almost a month since I finished my England entries, and swore I’d start writing non-travel entries regularly again. Hahahahaha!!! My job has suddenly veered from Really Really...
Ohhh, how sad it was to have to leave England and travel back home!!! Of course I missed Baker B and the kitties terribly, but I wanted them to join me in England – not for me to return to the US...
OMG, I am… almost finished. So now I’m going to be experiencing the sad end of a wonderful trip all over again. I’ve got one more entry after this one, the journey home/wrap up one. And that is I...
England #28.1 – Avebury, Part One in The England Chronicles - May 2017
I’m making this into two entries because we went to Avebury twice- the first time was the Stonehenge/Barge/Avebury/Marlborough day (Tuesday May 9, 2017; yes I have officially lapped myself) when ...
This will be mostly pictures, since we didn’t spend much time in the very pretty and very tiny town of Wells . Wells is the smallest city in England, with the exception of the City of London, whi...
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 – we were off to Wiltshire! Specifically to Stonehenge, with stops in Alton Barnes, Avebury and Marlborough. We’ve been to all of them before, but I can’t get enough of Wilts...
England #25.2 – Glastonbury Tor in The England Chronicles - May 2017
Onward to the Glastonbury Tor! The Tor is just amazing. In the early 1100s there was a chapel there, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275, then was rebuilt in the early 1300s. The tower i...
England #25.1 – Glastonbury Abbey in The England Chronicles - May 2017
Clearly I AM capable of making more than one entry every six months– maybe when I’m done spitting these England ones out, I will remember that. And make one more than one entry every six months. ...
England #24 – first Glastonbury Day in The England Chronicles - May 2017
The first time Kim and I went to England, in 2010, we kind of skirted Glastonbury – we went to the Glastonbury Tor, but somehow managed not to see anything at all of the town itself. That was the...
A quick and picture-intensive post about our visit to Castle Combe, which is a gorgeous little Wiltshire village north of Bath. Only 12 or so miles north, yet it took FOREVER to get there. Of cou...
I’ll repeat what I said last entry, and apologize for what will hopefully be a tremendous influx of entries over the next few days… I need to finish this!!! A year ago today I was in England, and...
I’m just going to apologize right now for what will hopefully be a tremendous influx of entries over the next few days… I need to finish this!!! A year ago today I was in England, and I am STILL ...
Sunday, May 7, 2017 – our first full day of the Bath and Nearby(ish) Areas week! After the bizarrely long and exhausting drive up from Cornwall on Saturday, we’d decided to have an easy, low-driv...
Wow, two entries in less than a week! Work is bizarrely slow today, so I may as well make the most of it. I’d love to finish this by April 28th, the date we left on the trip last year. Not too li...
Saturday, May 6 (2017!) continued- in which we reach the end of Dartmoor, and head north to Peasedown St. John. With a stop in North Tawton, which is where the wonderful Jam and Jerusalem (Clatt...
