Hello from Somerset

Hi Jo

Welcome to POE.  Enjoy yourself

Karen

Hi Jo:  That's the best way to travel.  When we were there we based ourselves in a lttle suburb of York called Fulford and drove around as much of N. Yks as we could in 6 days.  We had an apt. with a washer/dryer and we shopped at the super market, Sainsbury's I believe it was, and it was just like being at home.  I cried when we left.  Problem for us was that we were there in November, when there was only about 8 hours of daylight.  Must be lovely there this time of year, when you have more time to drive around. 

Hi Karen!  Hope everything's fine in Cumbria today!

bye, bye,  RG

Hi Ruth

It's fine up my way.  I went to Darlington today to watch the Touring Cars at Croft.  It was a complete washout.  We ended up coming home early.  I was a bit miffed I can tell you.  When we got back over to Cumbria it faired up.

That's life I suppose.

When do they expect the weather to clear up over there?  It seems like it's been a week or more of rain.  The sun's splittin the rocks over here today, as they say.  We most likely won't see rain now until about the 2nd week of July when the monsoon season starts.

Thanks for the info, Peter.  Sorry to keep pestering you about all the lingo.

As for the fairness, I just got lucky I guess, but I had to pull somebody's chain!!  (No names).

Hello Jo,

I have my own little tradition...I stay as far behind the 8 ball as humanly possible when greeting new members. LOL! 
Not on purpose of course; I just can't seem to get to the posts fast enough.

Never-the-less, my welcome to you is a warm as any of the others of my comrades here!
