Ahhh, I do like a good American bbq that can happen any old day and is not "pre-planned" for the one anticipated day of good weather in the week coming. I do appreciate not being bit to pieces by mosquitos in England though because they love me too!Tanya (Bump2Basics)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11190613569079236305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-3946948114667005842010-08-10T14:35:06.512-04:002010-08-10T14:35:06.512-04:00NB - yes, I should just say I'm heading East t...NB - yes, I should just say I'm heading East too, and leave it at that....<br /><br />Lorna - I certainly won't miss the humidity, or the bugs!<br /><br />pbee - The Hamptons is about 100 miles from here but it can take hours to get there due to the streams of traffic pouring out of New York every weekend.

I'm not good with distances - I'm convinced it's all really close so can't imagine it constituting a holiday! My husband assures me that 'short' distances are vast in the States. <br />There's a famous quote about how many Americans have passports...pbeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-47232163179911824152010-08-09T23:18:10.034-04:002010-08-09T23:18:10.034-04:00It looks as though you've had such a heatwave ...It looks as though you've had such a heatwave in New York this summer - maybe some Welsh rain will be refreshing?!<br /><br />Hope you have a lovely holiday.Calif Lornahttp://califlorna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-79967612471713869322010-08-09T09:01:57.076-04:002010-08-09T09:01:57.076-04:00So you'll be heading erm VERY east then...So you'll be heading erm VERY east then...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-22194079521615962912010-08-08T21:25:24.835-04:002010-08-08T21:25:24.835-04:00The Madhouse - The UK weather has a lot to answer ...The Madhouse - The UK weather has a lot to answer for! Camp is a great idea, but it does rather rely on some outdoor activity.<br /><br />Pants - I am definitely trying to make the most of it. Let's hope it doesn't race by too quickly.<br /><br />Elsie - we will be in Anglesey, although not under canvas. Hope you enjoy the camping!<br /><br />Mothership - I forgot about Mad Men. That is the one program I watch religiously.

I would be at the beech with the boys everyday. <br /><br />Maxi has been going to something similar, a kind of sports thing at the nearby youth club, but they only do them for 5's and over. He loves it and comes back shattered, plus me and Mini get quality time together.Jen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.com
