I Speak of Dreams

England Chronicles: The Last Lap

We're at the Premier Inn, Heathrow (not a bad choice for airport hotels, but I suppose I could have done better), having taken the train down from Salisbury last night.  Our flight leaves in 3.5 hours.

Memo to self: if you share a computer with somebody, make sure the computer can be used without being plugged in (Jumper Girl's computer battery died).  Also, having more than one converter is a good idea.  And make sure that all the appliances can plug into the converter(s).

Next trip (and there will be more trips in the coming year, if I want to see my infant step-grandson):  when reserving accommodations, pay more  attention wireless access, and free wireless access.

It has been a great trip.  Stand by for lots more reports, with photos, when we get home.

England Chronicles #5 -- The Internet Cafe Version

We had a great time in York and we did get enough Viiiiikings!!  And strolling around, and haunting stories, and strolling some more.  It must me nice to live in a lively city with so much available in walking distance.

From York, we took the train down to Retford, conveniently located close to the little village of Sturton le Steeple, home to our friends Trish and Bob Fleming, who showed us a really good time, including a traditional Sunday roast -- on Thursday.
