As I was going to St Ives........

Susan had to work on Tuesday so we drove to St Ives to take her to lunch

Popster & I lived here for a few months when we first got married
So did Oliver Cromwell!

We set out in search for our little flat
It has totally changed but I think this is the street.........
Image result for english phone booth......this could be the house.  We lived on the second floor & a "creepy old man" lived downstairs.  I locked myself out one night when Popster was working the night shift on the base.  I had to go up the phone booth in the square to call him to rescue me.  I remember hiding out in the phone booth until his friend showed up with keys!


Look at this bridge......no cars allowed anymore




The alleyways are so neat



This is where Susan works.  We picked her up & went for fish & chips....yummo!

Does Popster blend in with the locals......hahahaha!
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives? 
What is the answer to the riddle?

Love

    1. I just showed Rosie the photos and asked her where it was. She said Onley at first but as soon as she saw the bridge she guessed. It's uncle Colin's. Lol.

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
