Hoping to start back up again this year.
What do you enjoy doing? Hobbies etc
It was the National Trust and English Heritage membership that caught my eye as I love visiting stately homes and castles. I love History, and am researching my family history.
I too have just joined for the same reasons as you. Very willing to chat on line.
How lovely to hear from someone - so welcome at this ungodly hour on a Sunday morning with a storm heading our way - could just scupper the planned walk. Time for a Plan B methinks.
Where are you from originally in the UK and how come you landed up on the other side of the pond? I live in NE England - Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sorry to read of your widowhood. It must be terribly difficult, although they do say you have to experience in order to fully understand and it's not a situation life has thrown at me. I've been divorced for decades. Tried it once, but never felt any great need to repeat it. Ah! perhaps another of life's opportunities blown to the wind.
Anyway, hope your day is a good one. What's the weather doing in your neck of the woods? After all, isn't a discussion about the weather, or rushing off to make innumerable cups of tea a British failing?

Wind has dropped some, but I gather we're in for another one. Anything other than a gentle breeze on a red hot summer's evening (avec gin and tonic) is just unnecessary. I was hoping for a good night's sleep tonight without lying awake at 3am anticipating a ridge tile scuttling off and doing some serious damage to a neighbour's vehicle! Neither of which transpired. As my dear old gran would have said "never trouble trouble, 'til trouble troubles you".
Hope life is good down Wigan way.
Regards

I was Born In Newcastle Under Lyme, moved with parents to Wiltshire and Devon then I lived in South Shields for a couple of years as a teen, moved to Hartlepool where I met and married my husband, then a job took us to Leek in Staffordshire where we stayed until moving to the US, we came here as my husband was offered a job too good to refuse!!!! I am in North Carolina, where the summers are hot but the winters can be very cold,
We have way more rain than usual, but luckily no snow as of yet, I just want to get February over with, then should be on the road to warmer weather
