General Chat

Good Morning everyoone. well I am back had a lovely time we didnt have any rain till driving back yesterday afternoon when it poured so much we could not see out the windows we pulled into a place to have lunch a big complex. it was packed with cars as there were around four eating establlisments in the one place. when we came out we were unable to get out of the car park so were around 50 other cars and lorries people were getting upset and losing their tempers we were half an hour before we managed to move . out onto the A 11.
then we had so many lorries on the road hugh things from a broad you could not pass them as they dotted in and out of the lanes. it took us five hours including the stopping time and filling up with fuel. .

The Caravan my Son in Law and daughter had rented was 6 birth and was not far from the beach 5 minute walk. but it was soft sand so I found it difficult to walk on but managed. my lovely sea view is now dotted with wind turbines. such a shame.

I went and visited my friends and neighbours one I had told them by email I was coming the others my next door neighbours I had not told them so they were open mouthed when I rang their bell. we had a nice chat and a cup of tea .and big hugs when I left.
At the bottom of the road my Bungalow was in the RSPB people are on guard they have fenced that part of the dunes amd beach in as the "little Terns " are nesting they will hatch eggs in August. They use to nest on the Yarmouth Beach but it appears they have worked their way along the coast line to Caister on Sea
. I went to see my best friend who now lives in Lowerstoft and spent the morning with her and her granddaughter Abbi.

Hi everyone.
Just to let you know I am on my way out,going to my grandsons 11th birthday party this afternoon.
Plenty of jelly and ice cream, and cake yummy.
Be back later byeeee.

Quiet on here today. :-(
Everyone must be busy doing exciting stuff.
I've been trying family tree builder on my computer but am getting in a muddle :-S :-S :-S I didn't have my tree backed up anywhere or saved and it was worrying me in case I lost it. I exported GR tree and hope I've done it right. I am so hopeless with technology.
Going to get a bite to eat now and give it time to settle before I set off on walk at 8pm, will pop in later and let you know how it was.
Mo hope your grandson had a lovely birthday and enjoyed his party. Sneak me a bit of cake later, lol. :-D

Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend.
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end.
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.

The French and the Germans may call themselves such.
May Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch.
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say you're English ever again.

At Broadcasting House, the word is taboo.
In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too.
Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told.
They must not teach children about England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils do not learn about them anymore.
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away over the sea.
We're the English from England, let's all be proud.
Stand up and be counted - shout it out loud.

Let's tell our Government and Brussels too.
We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue.
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack.
Let the world know - we want OUR ENGLAND BACK!

(C&P'd from a recent E-Mail)

Rock ? Marilyn whats that? that red stuff that is hard and snaps when you eat it and damges your teeth tut tut. lol
The rock factory was still there they have been there for donkeys years people stand around and watch it being made. I didnt buy any.

I did buy myself a long white skirt with large leaves on for my holiday. I was unable to get my long white cotton slip. I told my daughter she got on the M & S thread and guess what? I got them on order two and they are only £10 each. they deleiver as well it costs five pounds but that is for your goods.
I came back to a heap of mail I had to push the door hard to open it. I had an invite to a strawberry party run by Goldworth care the people who to and fro me to hospitals. and one from the Rotary club for aan afternoon out with them for a tea at a garden centre after a trip in the countryside in Surrey.
I also got a scan appointment the professor said he would get it for me and he did for the 29th of this month. so I have a busy month ahead of me. dentist on Monday. foot dotor on friday this week. and a heap of washing to do. some I left till I got home.
I have just finished answering me emails. so that is another thing out of the way.

see you later

Too True Dermot......Shall we all march to 10 downing street ??.

That will make our Stevey cry and get depressed as he has at least served our country poor Stevey ..LOL... he's the only one not English, Oh dear what will he make of that ? Come to think of it are any of us TRULY English ?

I'm half Irish & teeny weeny bit Spanish ,also possibly a bit American dotted in somewhere me thinks.....

:-S

But as I have said before I'm BRITISH ....... :-P

Oh so true Dermot never say never we no longer have an England we have an isle and even that is lost to EU. we are told what to do who to buy from what we can sell what we cannot. who we take in what jobs should go to who, and give aid to others when we need it ourselves. we have a government who dont speak for themselves . they speak from brussell. the old boys school of we will help.
The dont tell anyone what they plan to do they do it without asking the public when they spend our money. not out of their pockets.out of ours.

Dermot,
I'm English and proud of it! :-)
