Re: Holidays

Just back from 2 weeks in Somerset shared with 3 wonderful people in their own homes. Had a marvelous time and loved every minute of it and the weather was glorious. I will recipricate in my home shortly.

Re: Holidays

I'm in the Indonesian equivalent of Fawlty Towers at the moment, aka Novotel Manado. You couldn't make it up - endless check-in procedure, internet down for hours yesterday, shower cubicle mouldy, door handle fell off in my hand, had to explain in words of one syllable what reconfirming a flight meant, breakfast stone cold as though the food was in warmers all the lids were left open for the heat to get out...it goes on. Good thing I have a sense of humour and well, well ready to get my flight home later today.

Re: Holidays

think I'll stick to Somerset at least the likeness to Fawlty Towers only came about when the dog slipped his collar and ran into a restaurant followed in hot pursuit by my friend who has long dark hair, which was sticking out like a scarecrow,and bares a striking resemblance to a gnome, (but he's lovely) dressed in a black suit shouting "'ere you can't go in there Bailey" in a west country accent and wildly flapping his arms about, the dog ran straight through a group of people, so did friend ,and shot out of another door, then ran through a group of smokers onto the main road (the pavement not the actual road) with friend still in hot pursuit and shouting"Come back Bailey you're not allowed on the road" , dog did a nifty sharpe right turn and shot through hole in the wall back into the car park and stopped on a patch of grass for a wee, as friend neared he shot off again then spotted a little dog sat with some people so dived through them to say "hello". I had also spotted potential new friend and was standing with slipped collar in hand and, as he arrived I bellowed "SIT", he did, so did his new friend and the man stood near him, I put the dog's collar on smiled at everyone and walked back to the car. Friend arrived completely out of puff and announced (sounding like one of the Werzals) " 'e knows every word she says"
All I could hear was gales of laughter and applause and a likening to Fawlty Towers. I was happy to know we had given so many people a good laugh. I gave up on dignity years ago.
