HAPPY NEW WEEK!
The White Pelicans are back for their migration layover on their way to the Canadian breeding grounds. They always arrive here sometime between late February and early April. I think they wish they'd waited a little longer this year. They're huddled on an island in the lake waiting for the snow tonight!
Have a wonderful week, everyone!
It was fun finding it again bjane!!! Can’t get over its feet!!!!
Isn’t nature wonderful? Remember my tulips covered by snow last week? Look at them today!!!!
RUSTY – Almost every one of the natives I met in UK was friendly. Just a waiter here or there who did not want a lone diner for dinner. Note I always ate early and gone before the rush (if there was a rush). Most of my contacts were B&Bs and TI offices but I did visit and potter around in many small villages from Scotland to Yorkshire to Sussex.
LINDA - Have a great trip. Expect there will be plane delays & diversions and you may be pleasantly surprised. Don’t forget to pack comfy shoes!
PAT – A recent flight from Thailand to Melbourne 7 hours into the flight had to land at Alice Springs due to a passenger’s “medical emergency”. It is not an international airport and does not have customs facilities, so everyone else had to stay on the plane. Then the plane had an electrical problem and another plane had to be flown in. They were kept in plane on the tarmac for further 7 hours! Many complaints but I would prefer health of the sick and safety of the plane.
I am waiting for my last 2 tomatoes to ripen. A poor harvest this year although enough to freeze 4 small packs for winter meals.
Just a thought
