Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 3

[black562]

Carrie is very good at finding the Hidden Mickey's in life... Tom I hope you feel better (and yes RoseAnne.. that is a benefit of LDRs! LOL)

It has been a great trip... didnt make it to the London Eye tonight. We got back from our day out later than we had planned. Had fish and chips... tried some dark ale... was a good day! Rained this morning and then this evening... but our outdoor time was beautiful.

Found something for for someone, that I can come back and get when we return to this hotel before we leave. Have 3 stops to make when we come back.. 4 if I get to go to the Eye 2 times.

Am thinking of coming back... maybe next year (unless something else comes up.. as in destination) and stay in London a little longer. Have to see what other areas I see that I want to return to.

Sounds like a blast, better than the rain here. I think you've figured out how to live it up for your birthday...may be onto something there.

And when you get back, more trips to plan!!!

Hey~
We need a dating site designed just for us...

Let's call it Mouse Match. We would need to change the match criteria a bit:

1- Turn on's = Favorite Character (do i dress up or you?)
2- Hobbies = Pin Trading? (1 or 2 on the hat, lanyard, bring the whole book)
3- Adventure Type = Plan Dinner around Fireworks -vs- Back to room for own show
4- Income = WL for 4 nights or Pop for 7
5- Hair Color = Cinderella or Jasmine

Something like that... Add me to the mix; Ariel(you), 1-2 on Hat, Both, WL, Jasmine.

LOL it does seem that way doesnt it. There seems to be this change from my waking up on my actual birthday at Disney World to waking up in another place... started in Nursing school when I was in Virginia, then last year in Germany, and this year here in London. I think I have an idea of what I want to do already for it, but I have time to plan.

I got to see where Alice played in real life!

Hope you all are doing well!!!

Adding: Was in Oxford yesterday. There was much I would like to go back and explore. Saw but did not go into where Tolken and Carroll met with their "club"... but did see a Jaborwalky tree, and where McGonigal met Harry Potter and friends as first years at Hogwarts.

Also, neat was seeing Winston Churchill's grave on Dday. His home where he was born was quite stunning! My photos will not do it justice at all... didnt have my lens with me to swap out at that moment

 

[black562]

It sounds like you're having a blast and really seeing alot. I hope they give you some shopping time at some point, especially back in London. I hope you get to go on the London Eye and Harrods to get you some Burberry!!!

Hello again!!! I am having fun Joe... and looking forward to the next several days!! Moving in the morning to the Peak district.

Was raining this morning, and cold enough I could see my breath. Wasnt really expecting that kind of cold, but got through it fine. Had some tea to warm me up LOL

Went to Stratford upon Avon and the sun was out. Lovely place that I would like to also spend more time in. Went down to see Mr. Shakespeare... very lovely church he is buried in.

I have thought of you all... especially when I see a Mickey Mouse antennia topper on a car. I see a few a day. I need to get some post cards mailed out... and repack a little.

Hope you are all doing well!

Hello to everyone !!! It has been a long time since I have had a reliable computer in my house. I hope this one lasts a long time. It is already so overwelming, trying to get caught up. I hope no one thought I was purposely ignoring them.
By the looks of it, everyone seems to be doing as well as can be expected. Here's to a great summer and I am looking forward to be in WDW and Disneyland later this year !!

Just stopping by to say hi....tons to do today, and I Bob and I took an a surpirse day trip yesterday...so lots of this to do today...LOL If it doesn't get done....well we wouldn't want Bob to go to work "that" way. The highlight of our day trip was going to Lowes and looking at house stuff and oh yeah a little trip to STARBUCKS.

Bob and I are house hunting, so going to Lowes, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot...are kinda fun...not sure once we have a house they will be fun any more.

So how has everyone else been...been kinda quite around here!!

Yes, she needs shopping time for sure. She MUST buy a piece of Burberry there as a birthday gift for herself (she wants something) and then there's the fruit pastilles!!!!!

She said you had to behave if you wanted her to bring those back for you....how goes the MI 6 agent?

She shook his tail, so much for that plan.

Good Morning! Hope everyone is doing well!

Thanks for the kind words about my updates Cait. Miss you guys! Will be on later tonight for me (evening for you) unless we are out at a pub later than planned. Love this country! People are wonderful!

The Wedgewood visit was neat! I could have thrown a bowl of something.. but decided to paint a mug. That will arrive in about 3 weeks. Made that my keepsake. The Peak District is so nice... its about 50 degrees.. some rain.. but no worries. We passed the Roaches and there were some people climbing. I have been shooting in JPeg vs my usual Raw... and I see where I like Raw better... hopefully my photos will be okay. We are staying at a Spa for another night... I will update again later. Time for breakfast!!!

And yes... I do need time shopping!!!

Thanks for the update !! I am glad everything is going so well for you. Sounds like you are having a blast !!! Too bad you can't make a quick trip over to France for a Mouse-fix !! lol We'll chat soon !!!!!

I am sure there are differences in shooting JPEG vs RAW....you know I only Shoot JPEG with my Pentax, and get great shots...But when you shoot in RAW you have awesome shots....but the disadvantage is how long it takes to process them...(*cough*germany*)

Glad you are having a great time....I love the updates....sadly was not up at 2 am today to say Good Morning to you! Ya know, I like Burberry too...LOL

Hi Sha! Wanted to let you know that I love reading your travel updates! I am glad that you are having such an awesome time! I told Mr. CA that for my next milestone BD in 2 years I want to go to Europe and he is all over it! (can you believe I've never been?!) I know who I can go to for travel advice! He's been to Switzerland. I'm sure you'll have several more countries that you've visted by the time I go. Any plans for France and/or Italy in the next couple of years?

I would love to see your pictures...

Wishing you continued travel fun!

Thanks for the comments about my posts.

Good evening!!! Just after 9:30pm here... and it has been an outstanding day! Went to a couple homes that I had ancestors live at. One has been made into a bed and breakfast. Would be nice to stay there in a couple of years. Also had stops at Haddon Hall and Chatsworth. We didnt go into Chatsworth, so that is another place I want to come back to see. The gardens behind it looked stunning! Haddon Hall has been used for filming movies like Jane Erye, the Princess Bride, etc. In one of the rooms, before heading out to the garden, they were playing the Princess Bride. They had chairs set up like a little theatre.

We were over in Bakewell, and there is a story here of some pudding. It ties back to my family also. The family name for my mom is Graves... centuries ago the name changed as they tended to do back then, by adding or dropping a letter. Mrs Graves (which is actually a typo in the history) should read Mrs. Greaves. The server we had was thrilled to have us there, being most people who have come are somehow traced to Mrs. Wilson. (credit to the cook of Mrs. Graves/Greaves LOL)

It really has been lovely here! The people have been so kind and I only hope to get back here again. Tomorrow we move to the Lake District.

Oh... and again.. for kicks... my horoscope for today (im detecting a theme here):

Think about it: Exactly how long has it been that you've been thinking, wishing, hoping and actually dreaming about taking off for parts unknown? (Unknown to only you and possibly one lucky companion, that is.) If you can't remember not feeling that way, it's definitely time to stop dreaming and start making plans. Get together with your sweetheart and firm up some dates. Do your homework on flights, hotels and travel plans in the meantime.​
