Picturing where GNs live.

I think it’s Southend too.

North Kent? Doesnt look like Whitstable.
Cant be Cornwall. I give up.

Southend?

HelterSkelter
Where do I live?

Out after breakfast….

We never had a car so went for 3 days by coach to a boarding house on the Kent coast. Our after breakfast and not allowed back in till the evening, however much it rained.
Those were the days…..

I can picture those big noisy birds at nanna8's door. I have happy memories of a trip to the Dandenongs and picnic in the trees with lots of galahs diving on us for crumbs

Did you go on Puffing Billy ?

Yes a long haul Kent to Cornwall silverlining48.
In the 1950s in Dad's old smallish car .. a Standard 8 ...there were 5 of us. My rather round grandmother, my sister, my parents and me.
We set off in the mid afternoon and slept the first night on the Hogs Back. In the car. Not comfortable, but no one complained. Then set off at crack of dawn for Cornwall and our holiday.

Returned from a trip to Cornwall from Kent, a couple of weeks ago, a really long old drive, but so beautiful.
The end of next week it’s Southwold to a house overlooking the sea. Hoping the weather holds.

Oh I do love to be beside the seaside tiddly om pom pom.

Greyduster, family were visiting this weekend and we enjoyed fish and chips in the sun in Southwold, looking out to sea. Bliss.

Oh yes, that's it.
A nice, gentle, easy read.

MissAdventure - I love that Maeve Binchy book -"The Lilac Bus" - would love to tour Southern Ireland.

It reminds me of a Maeve Binchy book I read about all the people who caught a bus, and the reasons why, with snapshots into their lives.

I always enjoy the Scottish grans shenanigans and descriptions of where they live and visit.

I can always bring Gingster to mind in her Suffolk bolthole, eating fish and chips at Dunwich and maybe walking on the heath. Lovely Southwold and Aldeburgh. I painted boats the beach at Dunwich and look at that painting daily. It brings back happy memories.

Well it is unusually cold here and has been for some weeks now. I actually don’t really mind because we get plenty of sunshine through the year. We get lots of big hungry colourful birds at this time of year, they are probably nesting or something. Some will come right up to the back door and peer in until I feed them. They ignore the cats and the cats ignore them ( the birds are too big for them, probably )

We always went to Cornwall, too, so I can bring it to mind when it's posted about.
