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...
England #17- more moors, driving to Bath in The England Chronicles - May 2017
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...
Well damnation... in shiny things
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...
Partner Survey in shiny things
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 ...
England #15- Okehampton Castle, Devon in The England Chronicles - May 2017
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 ...
Part 2 of that 1997ish Domicile Survey going around in survey time
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...
The “1997 CALLED AND IT WANTS.... in survey time
…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...
England #14 - Launceston Castle, Cornwall in The England Chronicles - May 2017
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 ...
England #13 – Bodmin, featuring the scary haunted... in The England Chronicles - May 2017
…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...
