On my travels

 I managed my first long run in the car alone for many years...and now I'm in Kent ready for Pirate's celebration and sharing memories, tomorrow.

I'm glad I took 2½ days to get down here..

Now I am staying with Pirate's nephew and wife and their two terriers..siblings..and they have a good garden too.











I don't think I could live here...the constant traffic noise....but we did take the dogs for a walk this morning...there are some pleasant walks straight from the house...

Lovely veg patch. Kent is a beautiful county. The Garden of England even.

The garden does look very pretty. Shame about the traffic noise but you are used to peace and quiet now so I suppose it must be quite noticeable.

Take it from me -- you don't even hear the traffic after a while. Glad you took your time getting down there. That undoubtedly made the trip easier!

Sending good wishes your way during the trip and memorial. I do love the dogs. Jack Russells? We used to have rough-coat Jack. Great personality, that dog. It does look lovely but I know what you mean -- if you aren't used to the traffic there is nothing good about it!

Well done you. Yes taking your time is the key. No pressure.

Driving for 2 and a half days at a gentle pace was well planned. The home and garden in Kent looks lovely. Sending my warmest wishes for a great day and celebration with friends and family tomorrow.

I already made comment over on FB, but I will be thinking about you all celebrating your Pirate's life. I have friends who are having friends dying, so we are sharing some of the life stories of these people, though of course I only know your Pirate through your blogs...but he was certainly a very special person!

Glad you are safely there. That is a lovely garden, and yard. Share many memories.

Lovely garden. Looks like a good crop of spuds to come. All the best for tomorrow's celebration.

Taking 2 and a half days is the way to do it. Driving for hours was never my idea of fun.

For such a limited space, they really do make the most of it don't they?

Hugs. It will be a rough weekend. I hope it all goes smoothly.
