HAVING MOMENTARY TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. AM POSTING THIS WITHMY LAST SHRED OF BATTERY POWER.... FORGOT TO PURCHASE AC DC ADAPTER OR WHATEVER PRIOR TO LEAVING US AND NOW MUST FIND ONE HERE. THOUGHT I NEARLY FRIED MY COMPUTER TODAY ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE IT WITH PETE'S IPOD ADAPTER. THANK GOD THE COMPUTER KNEW IT WAS THE WRONG THING...

Visited a wonderful Jane Austen type National Trust House (read: mansion) Saturday afternoon, complete with stroll along the grounds, wildfowl, catttle grazing in the slanting afternoon light, tea outside in the sunny courtyard and wonderful company and conversation and poetry reading... i love it here.

XOXO
