What...No Picture??

Sorry about that. To those who are keeping track of this part of our life adventure, I apologize. We left our camera in France but thanks to our gracious hostess here in Selattyn, Endgland I have been using her digital and will go through a 3 or 4 step process this evening to get some pictures up. A brief word picture is in order.
We arrived at the liverpool "John Lennon Airport." Outside the airport was a giant yellow submarine and a displayed retired French Concorde Jet. We have totally enjoyed our visit here to this little English village that absolutely defines the word QUAINT as you will see in the pictures. I get up in the early morning hours and go out taking pictures of sheep and vast green fields edged by rock or hedge fences. There are beautiful birds including about 6 pheasants I have seen. Last night Pat attended a Lady's Society Meeting with Val and we ended the evening listening to a group of 12 musicians playing Irish Folk music.
It's hard to get used to all these people driving left of center though! We visited a castle yesterday and we're going to Chester today where among other things they have a working mule drawn canal boat.
Pictures tonight.
Bill

LEFT YOUR CAMERA IN FRANCE ?????
Too much wine the night before or what? Is Accrington near where Val lives? Unfortunately I am not "up" on my UK geography. Grandpa, according to A Fran, was born in Accrington. Pastures and greenery, a whole new bit of scenery :) What fun!!
