Welcome to England..here's your raft.

Regardless of the humor of this title, this is not a laughing matter. Our home is in the middle (luckily on a hill) of the area effected by the worst floods England has seen in 60 years. So, we went to Wales. Pictures will come soon, as soon as Kim sets up the Internet at our new home. TTFN..

For info on the flood hitting Oxfordshire and Gloustershire here are some links:

Still Landing....

Being fairly limited in my artistic/blogging skills, I'm finding that it's hard to put too many pics on one post at one time. I'm sure I'll figure this out in time, but for now, I'll continue the walking tour on a new post (and I'll keep things pretty linear)...

My Room.














Where I take my breakfast and tea!












My Window (with the light), followed by the view from my window.

The Eagle has Landed... Part II

And I bet you were just thinking, "'Bout time she writes!". So finally, the arrival of the long-awaited pictures of the Landing Eagle! Yes, there have been MANY reasons for this delay - let's just chalk that all up to things "being different" in England and get on with it, shall we?


Driving and roadsigns will require a dedicated post, but that will come... For the moment I'm walking everwhere, but fortunately the little local villages are fairly close together (btw - don't be fooled by the lovely clear sky in the background...)



So continuing with our "walking tour"...

The gardens (l) approaching the Mill House Inn where I'm staying until later this week (hopefully I'll have the keys to our house on Monday!!!)










The Mill House Inn(r). My Room(below) Clearly Bilbo lived here.

The eagle has landed...

Kim has arrived in England. We will post some pics as soon as she stops melting power outlets.
