Who says English and Scottish cuisine is boring?  Not us, that’s for sure.

Like all longer trips, our trip to England and Scotland had its fair share of ups and downs.  I guess that’s why we call them adventures.  I’ve decided to start with the downs, just to get them out of the way.  Don’t worry, it’s an illustrated downer posting so it’s not all bad news.  Plus, it should give you a taste of what’s to come in future posts.

A couple of weekends before heading out on our trip we made a run to the hardware store to get some supplies.  There we found an orchid that Ann adored and, being the good husband I am, I suggested we buy it.  Come check it out.

Back in September I did a post about the portfolio prints Ann was preparing for our November workshop with Joe Cornish in the Lake District of England.  This post is about the images I selected to print and take to the workshop.

By the time you folks read this, we will be a week or so into our trip to the UK.  Why not check out where we’re going and what we’re doing?

This post is about why it took so long for me to get the first of our travel stories out.

Whenever I think about traveling with new people, there’s always this voice in the back of my head warning me, “Don’t do it!”  You never really know.  Some really great people are horrible travelers.  Well, with Judy and John, there was no need to worry.

Join us for part two of our vacation with Judy and John where we pretty much just hang out in the Netherlands.

Now that Ann’s blood pressure has dropped back down to normal (sitting in the passenger seat when I’m driving on the wrong side of the road on narrow Irish backroads will do that to you) it’s time to give folks a summary of our trip to Ireland with Judy and John.
