As I'm typing I hear on the TV that Gadaffi is surrounded by rebels in Tripoli. He is shifty like a fox.??? The end is near.
Whatever, and whoever says Gadaffi is a rebel, has not studied the man. He is to be admired. A very intelligent guy, a politian with the right ideas. And - all my friends agree. NOW- has that put the cat amongst the pigeons?

To all those who responded to my email. I have made the decision not to go this September. My brother is part of the reason but also there are many others. It just doesn't seem the right time. I will be going though next year as if not I will lose the money spent on the ticket. I am fine with my decision at this time..

I am so sorry - but you have to do what you feel is best. I am planning on going back in September 2012 - will be in Scotland, N Ireland and England (Cheshire). Maybe if you're anywhere near where I'll be we can meet up for a cuppa!!

You must go when the time feels right.......and without losing any money this gives you more time to plan a super trip :-)

This is so unusual for the east coast to experience something like this, hope everyone is ok, I'm sure the panic brought back terrible memories to the people of New York, after 9/11 last thing they need

Just like me - I felt it but had no idea what it was until later when I heard the news.

My desk started wobbling but I just thought I had leaned on it funny and made a mental note to have my husband look at the legs. Turns out it was an earthquake. Oh well - at least my desk doesn't need fixing

Thanks for the link to Lakelandcam cheers. Don't know if you know, but at the bottom of the page there's a link to see all the week's photos. I really think this last 7 days has been one of his best.

http://www.lakelandcam.co.uk/this_week/thisweek.html

I'll be there in 8 days!!

Lovely, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
I forgot to ask my Mum what it was like, she went to the lake district on Sunday.

The guy who runs the site is a retired postman. Every day he gets up early and goes out for a hike with his dog and every single day he posts photos. I've been following for 3 years and I've never known him to miss a day.

Sallysimmons...Lovely photo's.

Fulwood....You do what you feel in your heart you have to do and its not that long till next year.

Derrygal....Perhaps we could all meet up next year. I can go stay with my friend in Chester.

I thought I would give you all a little laugh. I was going over the plans for the next couple of weeks with my husband, does anyone see a flaw in my plans.

30th August house signing.Cant stop smiling..............

3rd September...Garage Sale

10th September Salvation Army do pickup of all furniture not sold. Dressers tables lamps clothes beds chairs and left overs from garage sale.

16th September...Movers come.

19th September move into rental.

Oh Dear What do we sleep on from the 10th to 19th

: Sleep on a bed of happiness:
