Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!
|
After my company left, I went on another adventure. (read about our trips to Scotland here and Here.) My son and I traveled to Saint Anne's by the Sea. It is in the general area of Black Pool (read about out Christmas in that area last year) but further south. This was our first visit to this lovely sea side town. We rented a small gite (Holiday house) and stayed 4 days. These are a completion of pictures from those days. We were on the beach, on the pier/promenade and in town. I must confess I have a weird accent. Most people are surprised when I speak. (Its ironic because I am recorded often for work. But thats a whole other story, on a totally different blog.) I've always read those horror books starring mysterious immortals, where their accent was so hard to trace, that I ended up being one. (Not immortal, just a fucked up accent.) It also is apparent if you spend anytime reading this blog, my choice in words belies my language skills.Sometimes I think in American or Spanish or French. My Mandarin is not that good...But the point to this ramble is: I now live in the Lake District of England. As I travel England, Scotland, etc (see recent blog posts already) I am asked where I come from. I usually reply, "Can't you tell from my accent?" Knowing full well the people cannot. "I live in Cumbria!" (see map) I usually receive a SUPER shocked look. Then I'm asked if I come from Canada. (WTF?) No one seems to ever think I come from the states, much less TEXAS, Anyway, back to the point here, I currently hang my hat (Tall, Texas Stetson, not) in Cumbria. While my NOLA buddy was in town visiting we endeavored to show her why it is considered the prettiest part of England. Here a few of our many pictures and some of the adventures. Please to enjoy a bit of the lakes... We also stopped at Rheged, on the way. Read about #Minecraft here. After that we went top Castlerigg. I had heard of this one, but never visited before. A 4,500 years old stone circle! As you can see from the pictures, there was a TON of people there. There was a convention going on, plus normal lake tourists. "Part 2 In The Lakes" to follow and more on Scotland, shopping and even the #Outlander tour we went on in next post.
Have a good week and see you at the airport! We went to look for a bathroom, actually. Because that's how most of my stories start out, don't they? * ___* Anyway, we were exploring the Lake District and were only a few feet away from home, but didn't want to go home...because then we would have just STAYED there. You know what I mean? So that's how we ended up at Rheged, in Cumbria. And found out it was taken over by #Minecraft. Here is the link if you want to know more. I'm not gonna lie, July sucked ass. It was not a good month. I hope it was better for you than it was here. July was busy, like a blur, a ugly, off center blur that left me feeling battered and bruised. So thanks GOD it's over. Maybe now things will slow down and get back into balance. "Goodbye July, see ya! and wouldn't want to be ya!" #FML
That said, here are the top most clicked on posts for July on this website: #1. Weekend in Scotland Part #1 51 +pictures of getting to Glasgow & a bit of the stuff we saw there. Really a good trip. The weather was dark and it rained, some of the pictures are in HD and some are gray. Sorry/not sorry. #2. Adventures in UK IKEA Post from 6/28/15 trip to Newcastle Ikea store. 15+pictures, mostly just an average day. #3. Weekend in Scotland Part #2 Most Recent post, the 2nd part of the Glasgow trip and still over 64 pictures!! and I'm not done with the trip post, yet! Yikes, I need to get those Scotland pictures sorted in some kinda order! #4. Weekend in Wilshire, UK Older post from 12/09/14 - but it is listed on the front of the webpage. I really need to update those, don't I? Lord. This was a fun trip to Wiltshire with 32 pictures of the cold and colorful life of the small village we visited. All these post are form the United Kingdom, most of them are really photo heavy. Should I pay attention to that fact? Do you actually like picture overload as much as me? I think I only did 6 or 7 posts for the whole month of July. #FAIL BUT two of which were really quite good and not listed above. I actually WROTE ABOUT TRAVEL here and the other post I quite enjoyed was the Organic Flour Mill post. We revisited the Mill/Cafe again in late July with my friend from NOLA, but most of the pictures of the colorful, charming place are in this post HERE. If you want to check it out. Once again I want to say THANK YOU for reading my silly little blog. I'm not sure why you do, but your comments and emails make me smile and laugh on some days when I really need it. Thanks for sharing your travel adventures with me and looking at my crazy life. See you at the airport- |
