Well, I slept til 7:30AM.   Late for me.   Nicky was cooperative.    I am still a bit jet lagged.  I got most of the travel stuff put away and sorted, am caught up on the bills and washing.   Nicky and I have had some nice walks and I think I have let people know that I am safe home.

Still have not taken time to download the pictures.    Will get to it before the weekend is over.   I am also packing when I get a chance as there is a possibility of an offer coming in that would require that I get out of here in about a month.   HELP!!..   Better that than waiting months for a sale.

Nicky had a visitor today.   My neighbor, Kay, who lost her Gary recently.  Her grandson Ian was visiting and he wanted to see Nicky.   I told them that any time I am home, he can come to visit.   Nicky who loved Ian and just ate up all the love.

Had a long visit on the phone with Bart today.  

Tomorrow will be the 100 Thousand Poets for Change event in Sheboygan.  I am going to read a poem and sing The Green Fields of France for the event.    Last year I participate too.    I sang The Island that year.

I can't believe the beautiful weather we have been having lately.   And I still am amazed at the lovely weather that we had in Cornwall and on the Isle of Man while I was vacationing there.

I had to leave just once.   Filled up the gas tank and picked up some milk.  

Tomorrow will possible be more organized as I settle back into US time.

I'M BACK

I got into the house at about 10:30PM last night.   It was the Longest day.   It was long enough with a three hour delay in Toronto - then it turned into the three hours with a two hour system delay.  They apparently had bad weather in the morning and these planes connect.   

Irregardless.   I AM home and glad to be home.

The trip was wonderful.  I loved the tour of Cornwall.  It was a group of 14 so we really got to know each other.    It is not a tour that I would recommend to people with mobility issues.   Lots of walking but well worth it for the treasures on the way.

Arriving on Sunday, our leader, David Warner, took all who were willing on a walking tour of Hyde Park and by Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.   A long walk but so worth it.   We were not there at the changing of the guard, but I got pictures of the guards.     I know when I go back to London, I will have more to see.  and you have not heard about my post Cornwall tour adventures.

I spent today just catching up on mail, bills and newspapers.    I went to get my Nicky at about 11AM.  He was SO glad to see me and was even more happy to come home.   I missed my little guy.

Hope to get pictures on the site tomorrow, but will surely continue with the days and adventures of the trip.
