I’ve given up all hope of finishing this before a year has officially gone by … because we left for England on April 28, 2017 and this entry is just the first day of Week 2. Oh, well – when I’m d...

Just saw the sad news. I’m on OD, same name - I’ve been double posting and was just thinking that is kind of a pain to post in both places because the photos are done so differently, so it’s poss...

---

…after the ruins. Here is one big downside of waiting so long to write about the trip— now it’s hard to remember what part of Dartmoor was on May 5, the day we went to the two castles and drove b...

---

Oh, look, it’s a very random survey! How long have you been with your partner? We have been married since 1991, and lived together five years before we got married. SO…thirty two years. And that ...

---

I really AM going to finish this one day. Or at the very least move on to Week 2. SO, here we are, still on our last day in Cornwall, May 5! Although technically we’re in Devon at this point, as ...

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DVD THAT YOU OWN? I was just marveling to Baker B about how DVDs seem like SO much trouble now! Take them out of the case, (after finding them to begin with, of course), put...

…ITS SCREAMING DOMICILE SURVEY BACK” Survey. (Part 1) I found myself longing for a good survey tonight, and look!! It’s one straight from Simple Mind and the 90s! It’s also quite timely because w...

---

SO, one entry back, we toured the Bodmin Jail, and then we set out over the Bodmin Moor for Launceston Castle, Okehampton Castle, and a drive back across Dartmoor. Yes, it WAS a long last day in ...

---

…Bodmin Jail At last, we have reached our…sob… final day in Cornwall. Of course the fact that we were headed out the next day for Bath made us a lot more cheerful about it, but boy there was a lo...

---

I’m really trying to write more, and since OD has been resurrected so suddenly and unexpectedly, it’s made me realize how much I miss the days when I wrote a LOT. Days which were considerably bef...

---

…and tour of surrounding areas. I am starting to think I will never ever get done with this - we took the trip in MAY!!! Both prior trips I moaned about how long it was taking me to write up my t...

---

Part 1 of Port Isaac is back one entry, detailing our immense difficulty in actually finding Port Isaac thanks to the Google Maps GPS From Hell. Port Isaac was well worth the effort to find, thou...

---

I forgot to mention in my last entry how much I loved driving - it was kind of bizarre, how much I loved it. Even at the time, I was thinking it was a little weird that I was finding driving in E...

---

I started an entry about the gorgeous breathtaking Tintagel one back, but it’s so stunning that it needs two entries just for the pictures. Cornwall is just unbelievably beautiful. We walked all...

---

Two entries back is the first half of this day, in which we planned to go to Tintagel Castle and Port Isaac, but by happy accident ended in Padstow. Upon reflection I’m not sure why we decided to...

---

OMG I’m making an England Trip Entry! Finally. I see my last one was August 3. I am already breaking my Seriously Glacial Posting Times from the last trip, and not in a good way. And on a side n...

---

....and I am making an entry at 11 pm on a weeknight, because (a) I have decided to, as they so amusingly say in Peepshow, pull a sickie tomorrow. I need a mental health day!! And (b), I got a te...

---

And now, finally, Exeter Cathedral! It was founded in 1050, and the present building’s foundation was started in 1133 and finished in 1400. It is absolutely enormous, stunningly Gothic, and, to ...

---

Exeter is a cathedral city, to quote Wikipedia- and the cathedral is the big centerpiece. There is also the Historic Quay area along the river, which, sadly, we didn’t make it to, since our day w...

---

As I mentioned in an earlier entry, we had so many places we wanted to see in Cornwall that it would take us, oh, six months to even see a fraction of them. For our first full day, we decided we’...

---

To Bodmin! Of course, being Kim and I, we had, ummmm, issues finding the Budget where we were to pick up our rental car on Sunday morning. Well, not in finding it so much as getting TO it - it wa...

---

Since I’ve been back from England for, ummmmmm.....a month today, it’s about time I made an entry. Of course I’ve spent the last half hour trying to figure out why I can not get pictures from Fli...

---

OMG. Tomorrow I leave for England!!! I had firm intentions of making lots and lots of entries here before the Big Trip… hahahahahaha!!! I’ll just have to do a travelog when I get back, like I di...

---

Not that there’s much to update – other than whining about wanting to write more and not doing it! If I’d do it more often, I’d probably have a lot more to say. Right now I’m at work, of course, ...

---

It’s… it’s.... two entries in a hair less than three weeks!!!! Shocker!!! And of course I want to write but have nothing specific to say, so Currents it is. I’m back to having a slow spell at wor...
