I was very excited to happen on this site. I had my first trip to England last fall and it was such a joy. My son knew I always wanted to go and he took me as a gift. Loved it all. Looking forward to enjoying all the photos.

Hello mcrthrprk.  Welcome to Pictures of England.  You will love it here.  We have a lovely bunch of people on this forum too.  My husband and I had two trips over there in the last 3 years and I can't wait to go again.  This site helped so much when I was planning our trips.  Hope to see some of your pics.

Hi Mcrthprk (surely we haven't got to call you that each time have we?) lol

Anyway, welcome to POE from Anna and Ron to a website and forum with members that actually care about each other. We just know you will enjoy it.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the photos I put up. I just take pictures for for fun. I'm definitely not an expert. Matter of fact, when I was in London. I hit the delete all button and lost a lot of them. Fortunately, my son had already uploaded many of them to his laptop. Ron, That's funny you mentioned my mcrthrprk. It's MacArthur Park, the song. I always use it. It has sentimental meaning for me, but my name is Brenda and it's so nice to meet you and all the POE members.

Hi Brenda. I had gathered what it was, but you'll see that you can keep it for your avatar whilst still allowing the members to call you by your name...

Or your can change it in your POE Profile, the choice is yours. Either way, enjoy this great website and forum, along with the members.

Ron, Yes, Brenda is fine. I'll change it in the profile. I use a computer all the time for work, but the thread thing rather baffles me. I've been reading them trying to figure it all out. If I mess up, please forgive me.
