Title: Hello Everyone!
Post by LeLimey on Sep 19th, 2006, 8:36am
I'm sorry we haven't been able to be in touch more, my flippin' modem fried itself and I'm having a new one put in today. Talk about timing huh?!
I'm using the old one at the moment, it sort of works for a minute before spitting its dummy out which it does every time I try to upload pics so that'll have to wait til later.
So far we've been to Sherwood Forest, a quick trip around Nottingham before heading to a pub. That was fun! Carrie tried to pay for a drink.. so I told the barman if he took her money I'd smash his face in - guess who got to pay?! I was very polite with it though and I did say "excuse me but.." before threatening discombobulation  ;;D
Saturday was spent in the historic and very beautiful city of York. We went up the old part of the castle before heading down medieval streets to the Minster which is the cathedral of York. Wait til you see the pics! (If this shaggin' engineer ever gets here  >:( )
Sunday was spent at a World Headache Alliance meeting in London followed by the Migraine Action Trust meeting Carrie wanted to attend after which I took her on a brief drive around London before heading home again.
Yesterday we went to Stratford upon Avon, Preston on Soar, The Standing Stones of Avebury, Stonehenge, Cheddar Gorge and finally the regional meeting I had organised previously in Bridgewater. It was wonderful. It was a hell of a long drive home though!
I'll updat this with pics as soon as I've uploaded them and I'm about to start now!

Thanks for the update, Helen! :)

You girls have been busy, I see. Can't wait to see the pics! I hope that the wonder called technology will allow us see them sometime very soon. :)

My best to Carrie! I hope that the beast will not stand in the way of you two having a great time in there!

Best wishes,
Sanna

Great Pics Helen. I know that you won't want to go to the same places when we come next spring, so we will have to find new ones to explore. Thanks for the pix. :)

Great pics, Helen.  Question:  What are fat balls, and is 8 for a pound a good price? ;;D

Title: Re: Hello Everyone!
Post by LeLimey on Sep 19th, 2006, 12:54pm
Hi this is Carrie posting.  We're having such a great time!!!  We'll explain the fat balls later...  Helen wants to leave you guessing! ;)

Just wanted to say hi from me!!

Helen, you sure put in some mileage, you must be worn out,  I suppose that Roman Solder in the pictures looks so good cause he lives on fat balls and they stop him showing his 2000 years age!!!  Did you find the Texas Embassy in London? Enjoy the rest of your visit together best regards to Carrie           Cheers Roy ;;D

Fat Balls?....next thing you know Helen will be feeding you some body's spotted dick..Probably the only thing left of the last poor male to visit her um...dungeon home [smiley=laugh.gif]

Glad you are having a wonderful time.  Sounds like Helen is quite the tour guide.   ;)

Lots of adventure, good pics, great to hear from the deviled egg duo.



Quaint roadside inn through Sherwood you found for Carrie to spend the night, in the hollow tree.   Tea's at 4, tip the dormouse.

Wonderful pics!  Thanks Helen.

Looks like you and Carrie are having a great time.  Can't wait to learn about fat balls, and would you see if the shop with the ball and chain has any more for me?  I could use one.  ;;D

Well it's time to 'fess up as to what the fat balls were..

Round juicy and succulent with a slightly.. nutty taste and you can only hold one in each hand. Perfect for nibbling on in those long winter months in fact




















If you're a bird! They're literally balls of fat studded with nuts and seeds that you hang in your garden to feed irds with through the winter. I don't know what you lot were thinking, it was quite obvious to me  ::)

We're off to a little place called Wortley today, that was a family name for Carrie so we're off to explore before Matt and Mary get here at lunchtime - see you later!  ;;D
