Wide open English countryside

 We pent a lot of time over the weekend with company dropping in so were constantly drinking tea(yuck or coffee)


 We did complete a 1,000 piece jigsaw between cuppas!
 Monday morning was beautiful so we took another walk down to the woods
 This part overlooks a lot of the land we used to farm
 Now a good part of this land has been bought by american mormons......they are farming it but it's more about investments in land.  It's amazing how much property they have bought!


 They are not going to do much with this until they put in some drainage


 While we were walking I kept seeing the red kite flying off in the distance but on our way back up the lane he was fairly close
 The elusive red kite
 I ran all the way to the back of the field & this was the best shot I managed to get
 See how far away I was !
 After lunch we took a walk up to visit my cousin in the village
Love

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
