h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There is an advert on the box for the NE tourist trade - looks terrific which means you must be .......

Do you know something So,it is a very beautiful place,espiecally around Durham.I've seen the advert too,it's about time people did discover more about 'our' country !!! Have you ever been to The Lake District ? It's stunning !! (Did that smiley mean I'm scary ? hahahhahahha I don't bite you know ! Well,not often,but,it has been known hahahahha)

Camped and hiked in the Lakes - a bit damp, perhaps the shore would have been better! HeeeeHeeeee. There is so much lovely country side 'Oop Nawth, tha' nose'. Well you do, don't you! Grandma and eggs arrive - sucks to you!

Its the Magic smiley - scary, well I doubt it, more......I'll think about it later

Hahahahhahahaha right,sorry,it looked scary to me hahahhahhaha (the smiley I mean ) I have to agree with you,it can be very wet in The Lakes,which,when you think about is all good,otherwise they'd be Puddles and not Lakes at all really hahahahahahaha (I saw MY fox TWICE last night !)

Your fox has a name then - 'TWICE' thats nice!

Hey - you have some great country quite close by without getting snarled up in the lakes or Herriot country.

Hahahahahahha my fox TWICE,was seen again last night,he's beautiful! I agree,Lancashire is a lovely county,the Trough of Bowland is one of my favourite places.It's about a 30 min drive from me.The Lune Valley is also extremely pretty.The Lakes isn't too far away though,about an hour in the car,if the traffics good !!! I feel very privileged to live so close to so much beauty So ! I do count my blessings often !! I'm away next week,for 1 week,a family wedding (up North,Sunderland)The good news is...I WILL return hahahhaha You'll know about it when I do !!! I'll write before I go !

If we don't catch each other before - have a good break/trip/wedding.

Our Dorset countryside is pretty good and on my doorstep and with the New Forest, Exmoor and Dartmoor close enough for a day trip.

Speaking of Lancashire - when I were a lad I had a holiday job with friends of my family. Tar spraying and gritting roads and we worked in the Haydock Park area for a while. Also on Saddleworth Moor (spooky) in 1965.

Thankyou So,a busmans holiday,not ideal,BUT,someones got to do it right ? hahahahha I do envy you the New Forest,I remember visiting what was then called the smallest church in England (I'm almost positive the bibles were chained to the pews)Lyndhurst,I'm sure the place was called,so beautiful ! Have a great week in the garden,you take care x PS Saddleworth Moor,that borders onto Yorkshire,now that IS spooky hahahahahaha (War of the Roses and all that ! )

I guess you have gone - safe trip. Enjoy.

Hi So,I'm home safe and sound after a wonderful week,busmans holiday or not,everything went well !! Back to the grind now of course.No peace for the wicked,then there's me !!! I MUST be evil hahahahaha Hope this msg finds you well ?

I'm glad it went well and it was not too onerous. I'm fine. Its been very quite - quite a few have been having probs getting on line and others have had to do some work. Still I've got through peer review with my entry and it is with the sub-editors and I've got one or two poems in the AWS.

I can't think for one moment that wicked and evil apply for one moment.

Good to hear your OK So ! Well done you,I'll have to check out your poems and an entry with the sub-editors,you have been busy ! I can't wait to read it when it appears,let me know OK ? The weather has been dreary since I arrived home,rain and quite chilly really,I've got HUGE plans for the garden this week-end (weeding and mowing the lawn would be a great start mind you hahahhaha)I'm hoping the sun appears.Catch you later.Take care
