Today at 3 pm, Sally,Sheri and I are hosting a Sproughton Community Shop Volunteers Tea Party in the garden of PFH. We need to be ready before 2:35 pm , so I can take a picture of all of the sweets,cakes and tea/coffee before the guests arrive. Before 11 am , I had finished making Rice Krispies Treats !

Tuesday August 12,2014 Good morning folks! Today I head into the town of Ipswich and explore! After breakfast and helping Sally out at PFH, I walked towards Tesco's and to the bus#13 and it took me about 20 minutes. I arrived at Tower Ramparts Bus Station around 11:30 am and asked a few questions at the Bus/Visitors Desk before going to the library. I was checking my email at the library for almost an hour and half and then went to look for books and dvd's. Afterwards headed out to get something for lunch and then wander around the historic,sweet and bustling town. It was market day and I found a bench and ate my lunch. Watching people go by while sitting in town was cool! I could of easily just sat there till the evening ... read more

Monday August 11,2014 Welcome back readers,friends,family and other curious folks! Today Sally and I went on a nostalgic road trip back to Saxmundham! I had not walked up and the down the quaint village for some time, now. Most of the stores are the same but there have been some changes, at least within the last few years. New Grocery stores,charity shops,bookshop/antique store and a cafe have been built. For those readers who don't know, the town of Saxmundham is about 30 minutes away from Ipswich by car. Sally and Penton used to live at Kiln Farm for many years before moving and eventually living at Poplar Farm House in Ipswich. We have a nice delicious lunch with old friends,the Wilsons who have lived in Saxmundham for a long time. It was great to see and ... read more

Sunday August 10,2014 PART 1: I awoke to typical English weather this morning,rain,drizzle and clouds! After Breakfast,Sally and I finished checking the calendar and seeing what days I had free. Ten minutes later, Miguel(Woofer) and I helped Sheri,Jason,Fred,Tim and Max to put the tent up for next weekend's Volunteer Community Shop Tea Party. Half of the time it was raining like "cats&dogs". Afterwards we all went our separate ways to do our things like cleaning,reading,listening,reading and just 'chilling!" Sally,Miguel and myself had lunch about 30 minutes later and relaxed. Started to rain some more and then the sun would suddenly pop out of the sky. I rode over to Tesco's to do a little shop around 2;50 pm and the place was a zoo! As I came out , the rainy gushed down and around me ... read more

I enjoyed taking more pictures and chatted with Sheri a bit and also said hello to one of their cats named: Marco. All black with a little bit of white markings,long,bushy and furry fellow. One of the most handsome and laid back cats I have met in a very long time! I wrote a bit on the blog and finished writing chapter 11 of the fan-fiction mystery, then helped Sally in the kitchen. About fifteen minutes later, Sally,Miguel and I sat down to a wonderful meal for dinner. After the delicious meal, Sally and I played two games of " BANANA GRAMS " , each of us won a gam which was great fun! Good for your Brain! :) I actually ... read more
