Walk around Ramsy & Tesco's shopping trip

Nigel had a doctor's appointment so we decided to go with him so we could walk around Ramsey. It's about 3 miles from Upwood & is where I went shopping every Sat morning with my Mother. It really hasn't changed that much

This is the bakery where we got jam & cream donuts.

This is the Forgotten Sweet Shop - really had all the *sweets we had when we were kids!





This is the entrance to Ramsey Abbey Grammar School where I went when I was 11 years old - yes - it is really an old Abbey (built in 969!!) & even though they built another section we still had a lot of our classes in the Abbey.





We had another trip to Tesco's to get something for dinner
Look at all the choices there are in the vegetable aisle!

This is all wines, liquor & beer

This section was all beers brewed locally



To see the rest of pics go here and here

After lunch Susan & I went visiting & while we were out we had quite the snowstorm....for english standard!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while &
