Your weather today?

[linds]

Hi ,

We are on Isle of Man for 3 days staying with rellies as hubby like TT. Weather sort of ok

 

Ja, We had a big plate of fish and chips with tom sauce as we were on the overnight ferry. They were fantastic. Particularly late into the night and in a cosy cabin. Everything was quiet apart from waves. I am drooling just thinking about them

 

When are you coming to UK You must be really looking forward to the shops etc. Lindsxx

Is littleAbbey with you?

Beautiful day here in my patch. Been out for morning tea in the park. Took some photo's with andrew's camera - I think he was scared that I was going to drop it No drink in my blood, just tremors Still, I have had a wonderful morning. And bracken is all run out!

WOW, If you think that is good, you ought to see Basingstoke town center. It would blow your mind . Just too many shops to mention. There is a Primark as well. However to shop till you stagger & look drunk. You need fuel. Ann is going to love all this(NOT). She hates shopping but loves fish & chips. Me I love both. We think we've had a gene swap. I have the female shopping gene, Ann has the male anti shop gene. However we both look forward to meeting up. Steviejo.

Will you stop it, you tease!

Anyone out there who knows Lanzarote will also know that we do not have real shops, only tourist ones, and certainly NOT superstores. Like Ann, I am not truly a one for girly shopping, but when you have been deprived for so long then it is like a drug.

Most of us also buy things like the kids schoolwear and we buy for each other whenever anyone is over. EG A school polo shirt that Tesco does for a pound each is probably about 10 euros here. Clothes are riduculously expensive here, if, that is you can get them.

I cannot take in all of these stores. I have to admit that Primark is on our list of shops because when ever we say to people over here "Where did you buy that it's really lovely" Primark is always the answer.

The worst of it is that we are coming over fairly broke because of the wedding, of which we only had 6 weeks notice., I am thinking of selling my body till we come away for spending money. Ned said I'd probably have to pay them but you never know!!!!! LOL

 

Looking forward to meeying up

Hi Ja,

Gonna miss ya while you are away doing all that retail therapy. Is is gorgeous on Isleof Man Lots of big bikers in leathers. Phwoor....XX PS I got some lovely shoes in Lannza airport

[Jayneanne]

Hey Linds, I love just love bikes. My Mum was a biker, she used to be a messenger in the wartime and even at the age of 60 something got on my brothers Suzuki 850 (I think it was) and shot off round town on it, She came back moaning that the controls were the wrong way round.

I used to have a trials bike when the kids were little and played games in the countryside,

Yes Linds the shoes at the airport are great but you have to be going somewhere to get through passport control to get to the shop!!!!!!

Not going til the 18th June - couple of weeks yet

 

Hey has anyone heard anything of Hercs and Mrs Hercs. They went on holiday to France and havn't heard from them since?

[linds]

Hi Ja,

The shoes were years ago. I was just wondering the other day about Hercs and Mrs Hercs......wonder how they are. Lindsx
