Malabarista - now with added pony

The same applies to smiley - ponys, but I did forget how to ride a bicycle. The nerve damage in my shoulder totally messed up my balance, even though it's more or less completely healed. smiley - erm

Torquay looks nice, you will be able to take in all the sea breeze Christian. Just don't mention the picture frame being out of square.

I would love to stay in a hotel like that. smiley - smiley

I never thought of renting a camel; I not allowed to drive petrol or diesel vehicles but bet I can drive a camel.

Wot kind of camel is it? Sopwith Camel, how many humps has it got? Are they economical? Are they good for the environment?

Bet you can hold up traffic on a camel smiley - piratesmiley - smiley

Our relationship with the smiley - pony changed radically when automobiles took over the roads. My father was born in 1920. My grandmother took a sleigh to the hospital to give birth.

Hi dear smiley - pirate numero uno!!

At the moment everything is bliss.

We have managed to get accommodation in our favourite hotel.
We have managed to get on the train
We have manged to find homehelp
Altogether we have wonderful friends, and think that the railways are absolutely splendid.

The only fly in the ointment is that if I leave my computer untended for about five minutes, boops, something happens and I am unable to get onto my email again without logging in, remembering all sorts of things. It drives me scatty......

so hopefully on Friday we are off on our holiday.

Hi nortirascal,

How super - a new friend. !! welcome to our group. I went straight to your homepage, and am - suitably intrigued. !

Anyway, I shall write about the holiday. It will be quite an eventful day. Four different rail companies so that means four changes. Assistance at all stages. And eventually after five hours of travel we shall be in Devon/Cornwall.
Pure bliss. I am really excited.

Thank you for the good wishes.

Go well,

Christiane

The place was full of thespians, their own caterers and security brought down from Romnford at great expense. No smiley - alesmiley - cider (despite being the West Country) or smiley - stiffdrinksmiley - sadface

One of the Thesps did have the audacity to ask me if I was the "meet'er and greet'er" I nearly set the dogs on him smiley - cross Bloody cheek smiley - steam
After the look I gave him, he promptly minced off to find, I presume, a meet'er and greet'er smiley - winkeye

I'm sure there was plenty of smiley - bubbly at Mr Depps gaffe, he was staying at a local farmhouse smiley - smiley

Cor; Mr Depp. I used to get stories about Hollywood everyday when I was younger. Photo's of all the stars and a few boat people he met in the local pub who just popped in for a chat as they took a diversion or missed a turn somewhere in America and ended up in Derbyshire. smiley - erm

The stuff he had and stories he told of boozing day and night never eating. Pictures nobody could have got unless they were there, and his name in lights.

Wow, what a lazy bunch of drunks. smiley - smiley Mr Depp is very talented; he still looks like a girl though.smiley - pirate

I've seen previews of "Alice in Wonderland," and was intrigued by Depp's laugh. It sounds as though Tom ("Amadeus") Hulce coached him for his laugh.
