Saturday August 4,2018 & Sunday August 5,2018 Most of the day at home, I cleaned up my apt and hung out with my cat Sophie until 4:50 pm. I took a quick shower and got dressed in my travel clothes. I was all set,my bags packed and ready to go before the taxi arrived at my apt . The taxi dropped me off at Princeton Junction Train Station around 5:35/5:45 pm. I didn’t have to wait for long before the next train to Newark International Airport arrived. I got to the airport around 7:20 pm and checked my bag through and hung out until it was time to go through security and the gate. Finally after sitting for awhile, I boarded the plane and sat next to some nice folks and then eventually we moved to ... read more

Tuesday April 3,2018 Today Sally played Tennis in the morning while I had a good walk and shopped for Yellow Roses for Aunt Penny. I met up with Sheri and the three of us had a cup of tea/coffee and chatted. Then after Sheri left with her black small dog Daisy, Sally and I ate a light lunch. Sally went out around 2 for another tennis game while I chilled and relaxed at Poplar Farm House. Sally just arrived back home around 4:15 and we will do a few things before heading out to see Penny and my cousin Anna &her family. Sally and I left Poplar Farm around 6:05 pm and it only took us 15 minutes to Tattingstone near Higham(Hig-Ham). PennyAnna,Nick and Penny’s dog(Defa) came and greeted us at the door.

Monday April 2,2018 This morning -woke up a little earlier to get some things done before our dinner party with a few friends later tonight. Still raining and damp weather here in Suffolk. After breakfast and dressed,walked over to Tesco’s to grocery shop and walk in from the rain. I then walked back and helped Sally before heading off for a nice swim at a private pool near the town of Hadleigh. Lovely and very refreshing indeed! We came back and had something to eat and for awhile I have been blogging and listening to music. Around 6pm,Sally and I got ready for our dinner party and Sally went out to pick up a friend nearby. I helped with making the Salmon Canapés as well as put out the Crisps(Potato Chips) and the nuts for all ... read more

Sunday April 1,2018 I woke to yet another gloomy and rainy day in Suffolk! After breakfast Sally and I drove towards an Antique Brocante about ten minutes down the road from Poplar Farmhouse. It was great to explore and walk around and try to find some British treasures. Sally found some really cool pieces which were old fashioned. (Old Crimping Irons from yesteryears). We came back to the house before getting ready to set off for Sheri&Jason’s new home. It took Sally and I about 15 minutes to walk to their house, which is Pinewood. We hugged Sheri,Jason,Millie and Fleur as well as Tina and her daughter Tilly, long-time friends. They also have a small black dog named Daisy and two cats(black&white=Marco and Skinny Calico/Tortoise=Olivia. We chatted for a bit and then Sally showed me the ... read more

Friday March 30,2018 Awoke to rainy weather in Portsmouth,UK! I gave a hug to my Aunt&Uncle and said”Good Morning.” I patted their black Labrador named Cilla. After having a lovely breakfast and a wonderful cup of Earl Grey tea, I got dressed and ready for our day. “A Beastly,yucky and dreary day in Portsmouth!” Aunt Philippa,uncle Jeremy and I got excited to head to Waitrose and an Art Exhibit in a revamped Silo, about 30 minutes away. Waitrose is a wonderful and upscale british grocery store like Sainsbury. One of the few unique things is a DIY Scanner where you scan your grocery items, which is fun! We then headed back home to get lunch ready and relax a bit. Philippa and I took Cilla for a walk on their country road which was great because ... read more

Saturday March 31,2018 Awoke to cold,damp and cloudy today!

I had not seen them all for a number of years and his would be the first time to see their house . Uncle Jeremy was still playing Tennis and would join us all afterwards later. It took us only about an hour and ten minutes to get up to Hermione&Jim‘s. Beautiful and rolling countryside! We arrived and were greeted by Hermione&Jim, we all hugged and said hello to one another.

Wednesday March 28,2018 My folks dropped me off at Princeton Junction Train Station around 5:30 pm and I waited for the train to the Newark Airport Stop. It took me about 50 minutes to get to Newark Airport and then rode the AirTrain to Terminal C. I printed out my boarding pass and waited in line for a United Representative to check my Bag and Passport. I walked towards the Security&TSA Control area and waited for about an hour before getting through security. Phew! Finally walked to find my gate which was C121 and then just walked around the revamped Shops and Restaurants of that terminal. I waited awhile and then our flight(UA940) boarded around 10:15pm and I met a nice woman sitting beside me for the flight into London Heathrow. A very smooth flight for ... read more
