Hi Linda

peace and quiet is lovely!


I do miss the tornado though!

If not his parents :-D



It will be our 45th next month.

We decided not to give each other gifts (it's Sapphire ....... and I have several sapphire pieces of jewellry, including my engagement ring)

Instead we are going to check an item off our "want to do" bucket list


only we will have to do it next year, as we were too late to book this year.


We want to go to Churchill on Hudson Bay to see the polar bears before they leave on the sea ice. That's usually mid-October-ish on.

We would go by train (anyone surprised?? :-D ), and organise our own trip onto the ice through one of the companies up there


..................... and will start looking at booking before the end of this year.

You have to book 6-9 months ahead to get the dates that you want ........... I started looking early last May, and that was too late.

We could get the train booking OR the trip booking ......... but not in the same week!

and you are not getting rid of me either :-D :-D :-D :-D


I only renewed at the beginning of this month. :-D




I MIGHT however change my mind if the proposed colour change shown in the makeover goes through as is



I could not use this site for more than about 5 minutes at a time if they do not change it.
