Joyce’s posts in general inspire me. They make me say, darn, I wished I’d said that. This post is my homage to her post “Watching and/or Listening”. It is so amazing and revealing of our existence here. So, if anyone now asks me what we are doing, I will simply point to that post. DeepContinue reading “Cheese Tasters”

Joyce and I are both quite proud card carrying liberal club members. As such we struggle with the whole concept of privilege and where we fit in. Make no mistake, we both individually and as a couple have used our many privileges to even be doing what we do. And it is an ongoing struggleContinue reading “Privilege, A Different Take on the Trip South”

Well, we went north. We went east. We went west. We had to go south. Today we headed to the south toward the coast through the villages and never hit a highway. I’ll tell the story of our day through the photos. You’ll notice it was a dreary day, but the temperature stayed a balmyContinue reading “Going South”

I like to sit in a cafe, a park, a restaurant, a patio…anywhere where I can just observe interesting people or more accurately, ordinary people. I often make up the stories for these people whom I observe. Here’s a few I noticed today. Glen and I went to the book store I just discovered lastContinue reading “Watching and/or Listening”

It is encouraging to me that I woke this morning thinking about writing. It hasn’t been that way much so far for this adventure. Frankly, the combination of a lousy night’s sleep, a chronic pain due to neck, back and chest struggles, knowing I have a day filled with what has become of my eatingContinue reading “Such Random Thoughts”

Leave it to Glen. Whether you know him well, know him slightly, or just know him through me…you’ve learned a little (maybe more than a little) about him through his open, honest, thoughtful, drifting, heartfelt, deep, and yes, sometimes morose or melancholy posts. Yesterday’s journey was important. The deep connection Glen has with this complicatedContinue reading “Westward Ho”

The choice of Canterbury to spend 30ish days has been glorious. Back when the decision was made and the unit booked, I really only had one thing on my list of must do. And yesterday, we did it. I will forever associate COVID-19 and the pandemic with a number of things. Many not so greatContinue reading “On the 2nd Day, We Headed West”

Just thought I’d tag on to Glen’s post about our day without a plan in Kent. I mean, we sort of knew which direction we were heading and we’d heard about a good place for a view…but that was it. And this is pretty unusual for us. We like a plan. We’re trying to beContinue reading “Wandering in Kent”

What a great day!! Joyce and I spent the day driving about in Southeast England. Draw a line from Canterbury to the west and Sandwich, then to the south to just north of Dover and then back up to Canterbury and you’ll have the triangle we traveled today. We’ve both written about the marriage savingContinue reading “I Wept Like A Baby”

Some days the best I can do is sit in our lovely little English garden and, among other things, enjoy the wonderful skies here in Canterbury. The first time I remember noticing and loving the sky was on my first visit to Montana back in the late 90s. They were, and are, spectacular. AND thenContinue reading “Another Unexpected Lesson”
