A weekend visit with more family & dogs

My niece Naomi & her fiance Dave along with his son, Harry & 3 of their dogs came up from Portsmouth for the weekend. 
We decided we would take a walk around the village
We stopped in the cemetery


This is one of the oldest houses
This is where my brother Terry & I went to school.....it is now the village hall

As kids we spent a lot of time causing mischief on this corner.......the phone box is now a lending library
Across the street is the church where we were married

 Do you think we changed?






I love this house

There were flowers everywhere
This is the house where Naomi was born
We went out for dinner at the Jolly Sailor.....a pub in Ramsey
Popster better not eat too much or he won't get out of the door!
 Such a homey atmosphere & the food was delicious!
Love

  1. I love all these photos. Do they even have thatched houses here?? Not in Fl for sure. No you haven't changed a bit but I have a question, could you still walk in those heels?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

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

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

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
