Visiting Stourhead

Looks like you had a pleasant visit with your family. You're right, it is a fabulous place to visit.

Nice to see you again Karen. It will be hard seeing Callum leave - thank goodness for the Internet!

Thanks Stera :) Yes, it will be hard even with the Internet, as there is a 7 hour time difference and now he is working so it's weekends only for our window of opportunity. I'm looking forward to chatting with him tomorrow. :)

hello you,
long time no see so to speak. You will certainly miss Callum but what lovely days out to remember. And as you say technology will make keeping in touch so much easier.

It is a lovely open space isn't it. We always visit when we are down in that area.

Welcome back Karen, lovely photographs x

Nice to ‘hear ‘from you Karen .Your photographs are really lovely.Do you still live in Scotland?

Thanks everyone! Yes Gerardine, part of the time, and part in Dorset as we are now Grandparents!

Very exciting congratulations!

Thank you! X

Hi Karen, lovely to see you back of Goy, with a smashing blog too! With regards to chatting to Callum ... our daughter's partner is a Corporal in the RAF and is currently deployed in Mali. She came over for lunch and Facetimed him ... he loved seeing the lush green growth and the rain. Nothing but sand and dust for him ... :o(

Mail eh? Well…he’ll be moved on before long no doubt Shirley.

He went out in mid February ... seems an eternity ago!

Good to see you again Karen.
We have friends who live close to Stourhead and they love it as you do. We have only been there once but thought it was very beautiful and so peaceful by the lake.

Thank you wildrose! X

Stour head looks beautiful Karen, and it’s lovely to see you back on GoY.
Now you’ll be joining those of us with distant families … and discovering that Zoom is not ideal! Still, at least we can see and talk to our Downunderlings, so we’re grateful for the technology. It is 3 years now since I had little Frankie on my lap … quite sad that they’re growing up without us 🙁. Maybe we’ll fly out this autumn …

I hope you do get to see your family soon Sheila. I think it is really beginning to take its toll on me now. I have been feeling pretty low. But I try to stay positive and thankful for ‘face-time’!
