Sunday morning

Don't ask me how I got two sets of photos up at the same time - but it does explain how I used 0.3mbts trying to download the photos.

Yesterday my cousins Steph and Gina and friend Rose (plus husbands) took me to Pennyhill Park Hotel for a very posh high tea.  I'll try to put up a photo of the occasion ONCE in due course.  Pennyhill costs about Stg1,000 per night - and is particularly known for the fact that the English rugby team train and "live in" there prior to big games.   Sufficiently close to Twickenham, I guess, without all the interruptions a closer venue would bring.

We knocked a large hole in the provided fare and were served very well by a young man who poured yet another cup of tea as each cup became empty ... sieve and all.  I could get used to that sort of life.

Today Ray is playing golf and the three ladies mentioned above are 'auditioning' for places in "The Choir that Rocks" - evidently there are numerous groups, all learning the same negro spiritual type songs, throughout the country and they all get together for large concerts from time to time.  I am going along as spectator and fan club for "my" particular trio.

Steph and Ray's dog, Chai, has been very poorly over past weeks - suddenly getting a huge lump under his chin (and into his head at one stage I'm told) - lymph nodes the vet thinks, but they're not sure what started it in the first place.  It MAY have been from an adder bite!    I can't begin to tell you how delighted I am to know that there are nasty little fangs at the ready out there, as you can imagine.   I now hear that two other dogs in the area have died from adder bites this summer.  Oh goodie!!

Was going to put up a photo - but time will tell.  NEXT time if I have photos, I'll put them up first.  You lucky things!!!
