What a wonderful day

I have had an absolutely wonderful day today! Met up with GB as arranged and she took me to the 'Jungle'. It was smiley - magic We then went for a smashing lunch in her local. Loads of everything a body could want and more; all fresh and nicely hot. The company of GB was brilliant. I didn't feel any of the usual - what do I say to someone I have never met feelings; it was as if I had known her for yearssmiley - biggrin The surroundings were good too; we were seated in an extremely nice conservatory; which according to GB, you don't normally manage to get. My only disappointment was that due to a nasty accident on the M1, it took me 1.1/4 hours to travel the distance normally associated with 20 minutes; and I didn't have time to call at the caravan to water the tomatoes/runner beans on the way up. I therefore had to leave GB MUCH TOO EARLY, so I could do them on the way backsmiley - cross

I am however, now feeling totally pi**ed off. SS being in Cornwall with my camera, I managed to take some pics at 'The Jungle' with my new all singing/all dancing fancy posh phone. Now! I want to send copies to GB - can I set up the e-mail options? can I smiley - bleep The instructions tell me how to show them on my tele - what good is that? I suppose now I shall have to get a memory card, then use the card reader to transfer them to the pc; and then try to e-mail them from there. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

If invited, I shall definitely be back GBsmiley - hug

smiley - wah I can't find the bit which says 'researchers I have met'

The trip home was unbelievably easysmiley - biggrin

Once I hit the main road, turned right and got to the first island, I knew where I was. I then realised that I hated the route to the 180 from the signs. I therefore totally ignored all sign posts and went back to Cleethorpes; as I hadn't seen the sea. I drove across the seafront and then took the old road from Cleethorpes to Grimsby and got on to the A180/M180 from there. Was back home in 1.3/4 hours.
