The holiday's over...


Back at work, and of course the weather is absolutely fabulous all of a sudden! At least the camping trip didn't get rained out! Some of you said that you like pictures, so you're going to get 'em - serves you right too. Take a dekko at this lot:

Back in the lake district, which is not more than 15km from where I live now. I actually own a property there (and a mortgage and an ex-husband and an ex- mother in law). Luckily, they are at Island Lake and not this one.

The lake was bit choppy, so I didn't float about on it all night this time. I slept under a bush instead. The party was ... a bit crowded and the conversation was inane without being amusing. I am reminded that I don't thrive in large groups. I fell asleep before midnight and woke before anyone else. The world was silver-grey and I had the place to myself.






As soon as it was polite to do so, I headed home to the pests, I mean 'pets' and was greeted with the view above (which should have been below, but for some reason blogger hides the text when I publish)

So why should I want to go away in the first place?



Next time, I shall give you more words and less pictures. I feel signs of verbal revival coming on: watch out world! Ready your reading glasses and get some ear plugs (to stop your brain trickling out of your ears like mine did when I did all that that holiday reading).

  2. I said pictures of hot Asian women. ASIAN WOMEN. You missed the most important part of the concept. Now go take another vacation and do it right this time.

  5. Andrea... you know, I had an idea (based on tv) what Africa looked like... you know hot, dry etc. You sure have changed my perspective and opened my eyes on how lush it really is. I always thought of it as beautiful.. But now, I think of it as spectacular!

  6. Reading glasses and ear plugs are ready. Bring it on. Love it when you go on a verbal rampage, or are educating us with a little bit of African history.
