Well, as Bokonon said, “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God”. So as a result of the usual mix of misconceptions and coincidences, we’ve got the house-sitter to stay in the house when we’re gone, and the ladies and I are going to England. The ladies, in this case, are my gorgeous ex-fiancée and our daughter, she’s 21. They’ve been to England before, but I’ve always travelled in the third world, never made it to the land of my ancestors, or at least some of them.
In any case, here’s the current travel plan, subject as always to time, as in “time yet for a hundred indecisions. And for a hundred visions and revisions. Before the taking of a toast and tea.”
We arrive in London on Monday the second of September, and we’ll be there for four days, ’til Thursday. Then a week or so to drive up the west coast of the island, and another week or so to go across and drive down the east coast.
Anyhow, that’s the scheme. If you happen to live along that route and wanted to say hi, post your town and where it’s near, maybe a few words about yourself. If we happen to go by there, all I can say is we MAY get in touch … or not. Heck, once I get to London, I may never make it out of the city much, who knows? I just attempt to follow the dancing lessons, but it’s generally not as simple as when you have the dance steps painted on the floor …
Best to all,
w.

@Mod. : “[If it were under full restauration, then the ship would not need its next lunch date from the shipyard. Mod]. ”
Not my fault that the English can’t spell. 🙂
You see, both the verb “to restore” and the words “restaurant/restauration” derive from the French verb “restaurer” (to mend). Restore (which of course has nothing to do with “re-store”) is simply misspelled. 😉
Oh, but thanks anyway.
“The Museum is based at 48 Doughty Street in the heart of Bloomsbury in Charles Dickens’s only surviving London house”
I visited it in the 1960s. Its quaint, quiet, has his desk, etc. quill pens…
