Amazing Grace
Another twist in the UPS saga. Hardly a saga but there you go. The package delivered on Wednesday as it should be. So my mind is confused. which is easily done. Not sure how their system works but it truly…
Ups Guy
It looks like the UPS guy, like they do, didn’t unload the van on Monday so they didn’t receive the package till Tuesday ! So my two day delivery should be here Wednesday….but wait its still been quoted as Friday.…
Duck Dynasty
Dash has a new bird…. She’s a real cutie….So she’s called Dash’s bird until she gets a proper name. Maybe that is the proper name. Would you believe she was born in Bolton and then migrated to the USA. I doubt she…
The Wrong Trousers

A trip to the centre of the USA….not so sure. It did have a proper USGS marker. Julie could not resist the pull of Devils Tower. She was even drawing it as per the movie. Not so sure if she’s…

Matilda
Lovely weather in Rapid City so we stayed an extra day. What to do….???I know I’ll start on something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. This is one of the long list of jobs that I need…
Threads 1984
Some of you may have seen this film but I’m sure nearly everyone I know from my home town will have. In fact most people in the UK will remember the Sheffield set nuclear holocaust film.To the point of the post…
Brideshead Revisited
Travelling back over old routes in more ways than one. We’ve driven some of the Natchez Trace which was an old trade route of some 440 miles with a good visitor centre at the south end with good Wi-Fi and…
Wasteland
OK, so I’ve sat on this long enough and I’ve just got to let it out….Toilets in the USA.What is it about the gap around the entire edge so all that come in can see you sat there. In some…
Live And Let Die
Some fun and games were had in New Orleans for one day of Mardi Gras. We never saw Jane Seymore although we saw some pretty ladies….some of them may not have been ladies !Its nothing like Rio and Carnival and…
Contact
Jodi Foster would be proud…..but the beach looks only a little like the one in the movie…maybe we were in the wrong part. Some photos of friends and some shots from the back of the hotel where we had free…
