Pics: England, Here and Now

Dear Mum and Dad,

(as well as anyone else who is willing to put up with some nonsense)

Well, ain't this grand! Maybe I should keep my mouth shut before I post this, but why put off thanking God for small mercies?

Before we attack the documented evidence of the crimes committed over the pond, I'm sharing a few pics of Sarah's new 'do.

Oooooh, look ...

Isn't she CUTE?!

It was a blast doing it up with hot curlers. Lots of bounce, thanks to the new layers.

And her new smile ... !

Cool detail pic.

Sunrise on the way to England.

Wisps of hair.

The aforementioned butcher. Not much to look at, but he has a big, generous heart.

Prissy miss.

(The hat we-- borrowed while shopping in Beverly.)

She wouldn't speak with us until a couple shops later.

A nice elderly man Auntie Jean and I met while out on an evening tromp.

He walks this route just about every day.

Granny with her new reindeer socks.

(We're trying to get her away from the stilletoes.)

Warshin' on the line.

Snoopy surrounded by nature.

Look at this capable lassie pottering in the garden.

Flowers in Aunt Jean's front garden

Beth: in case you wander onto here ... well, enjoy. :D

Sweet old couple on a rainy day with a splash of pink.

Beautiful, rain-laden roses at the market in Bridlington.

The harbour by the North Sea

Some things never change.

Sweeties stuffing chocolate banana fudge.

(Muv, try to convince Auntie that you will not have nightmares from this pic tonight.

Try.)

Brazen buhrd!

Oh, great, now there's a large body obstructing the view.

Hey hey hey, there's the boots. Did I hear a whistle?

Unbeknownst to me, the little beggar nipped at Auntie's ankles as she strolled past.

And here I was, turning him into a celebrity.

A side street lined with baskets. And the odd misfit.

There's Lisa, boiling the kettle for a cuppa, good lass. She is very well-trained.

Uh, yeah, sorry, Mum. Granny offered. She might've thrown the freshly boiled kettle at me, hot water and all, if I had refused.

JUST KIDDING.

ROFL. :D)))

No, I was good. Settled for a Pepsi split with Lisa. Isn't she sweet?

Unfortunately, not all the pics made it to the end. This-- blessed computer ate some along the way. But, hey, let's look on the bright side: a few surprises when we get home, eh?

Still missing you, and praying for you. Hope the route's going great, as well as life in general. We'll talk soon, eh?

More love and hugs,

Jenn
