This one goes out to my hip Mother-in-Law (known as FMIL, the F for Favorite)
who asked "what in the heck TTFN stands for".
That would be Ta Ta For Now in web/texting language;)
I figured it was especially appropriate, being in England and all.
Planning on going to Dover ( the white cliffs of, etc) and hit Cantebury and possibly
....uh....a place that starts with a B and is on the coast nearby. Dang, I can't remember.
If you're really interested, get a map. I don't have time!
So, that is the plan for this weekend.
We were happily surprised with the arrival of not only the telephone man but also the cable guy yesterday! Yay! We're getting there. Had a new friend over for dinner, a fellow teacher of Jer's, in from N Carolina. He's been here since Aug 8, still has no phone, no mobile, no tv...no shelf in his bathroom and is living over the open part of the mall where he can hear when the pubs close and people make there way (sort of) home. He was looking around our flat like it was a palace!
Poor guy. And, bless him, he was thrilled with the overcooked porkchops and potatoes I put on the table for dinner, thanking me several times. Geez.
One note: the oven dial goes from one to ten.
?
Uh, a few degree marks might be handy.
Just an idea.
More later!!!
And keep trying to post - there were some glitches that are hopefully cleared up.
TTFN!!

Are you going to Brighton???
I agree with Carey since Brighton is on the sea. Really an interesting place to visit. You'll notice that what we think of as a beach - sand - is more like gravel and and rocks. At first I was disappointed but then I started thinking about Heathcliff and it became rather romantic. Sturdy shoes are a must!
Hope you are planning a trip to the Yorkshires and Lake District. Tell Jer there is a pub in the Yorkshires which is listed as the highest pub in all of England. Great place to take in. You have to practically head into the wind to make if from the car park to the front door. The moors are so exhilarating! Speaking of the Yorkshires, Fountain's Abbey is a great place as is the city of York. Real taste of the past in York. Can you tell we are, like Carey, itching to come over?
Enough. Have a wonderful weekend and let us know just where "B" ended up being located.
Brighton!
That's the name of it!
But we didn't get that far.
Ah well, maybe next time.
Dover and Cantebury were delightful.
Will post pics soon.
Yay!
(and it looks like you figured out how to leave a comment. Or does it only work sometimes and not others?)
