England then homeward bound

Ok, campers, by the time you read this, Mrs J and I will be somewhere over the North Atlantic en-route to Houston. (Which means replying to comments will be spotty if even possible and  even then delayed.) We’ll change planes then a hop, skip and a jump to Austin. Pick up the car and RTB College Station.

Our betting on reception at the house is the dogs will be excited to see us and a “Where have you been, my servants?” from the cat!

C’est la Vie!

A good trip, we made quite a few new friends on the  river cruise, drank some excellent Texas wine from Untamed Wine Estate winery on board, and also spent a couple of days getting reacquainted with Little J, LJW and Miss B in England. More info on the cruise can be found Here.

That latter person has made leaps and bounds of progress. Still a bit small, but smart as a whip. Not quite 4, she speaks in complete sentences and is able to participate and contribute in conversations. A well deserved “Well done” to her and her parents.

Did a bit of touring in France.

 

This was a bullfighting arena built in the Roman times in Arles France.  No bulls in it now, just a cat!

We also visited RAF Crouton, a WWII Fighter base.

 

Gave me a bit of the willies.  Lots of brave men took off from here, some didn't make it back.

 

Visited Blenhiem Castle, home of Winston Churchill.  Very cool, very British, very Large!

 

I don't remember exactly where this was, but Miss B seemed to like it. ;-)

 

Final visit was to Bletchley Park , home to the Code Crackers.This was one of the machines they developed.  Very, very interesting.

All in all, a very fun and interesting trip.  Mrs. J did a great job setting it up and handling "things".  Thanks, Dear!

See y'all next week!
