Glad you had such a fabulous holiday! You are so right! Modern technology is fantastic. Through Facebook a few of our Class of ’66 are reconnected. Best of all is I get to see and chat to my family on Face Time and Skype, play a Word game with my granddaughter on the iPad and get photos of all our little ones virtually on a daily basis via Whatsapp. Three cheers for modern technology!

You certainly had an awesome and well-earned holiday. Much love Gaye

Romary, I returned home yesterday, Thursday. I had the most sensational time.
It is wonderful seeing Mums, Perdita and Spencer once more. And ohhhh, there is no place nicer than one’s own bed!
With a laugh I kiss your eyes

Oh, absolutely, Margaret, I totally agree. I revel in what technology can do for all of us. Think of how long it took to mail a letter overseas and get a reply!!! Nowadays it is a different case completely. Vive la difference!

It reminded me of that fantastic day. Amazing food and company! I loved reading Ingride Lewis post as well. (Hi Ingride!! *waves at*) I will definitely tell Odile and Bella ๐Ÿ™‚

I also thnk social media etc are fantastic! I may have mildly upset a friend’s wife once when she said with an aloof air that she does not “do” facebook. I asked why and she replied “because everybody is doing it and I like to be different.” I replied with a smile “everyone is breathing too :)”

I believe that we should do what makes us and others happy, not because others are or aren’t doing it. Being true to ourselves, regardless of what others are doing is much easier anyway.
And trying knew things and getting out of our comfort zones is always liberating even if it doesn’t turn out the way we want it to ๐Ÿ˜€

So looking forward to seeing you all again next year

x hug x hug x

I got back from England yesterday, Gay. The next time I go we must make a plan to get together. I will be in Norfolk, London and the Cotswolds. But tell me whereabouts you are, and B and I can make a plan.
I would really enjoy getting to “re-know” you, my friend!
With a smile I kiss your eyes
Gaynor
