Thanks also for writing the first encouraging words I've read in a long time about our beloved Portland. It's been incredibly sad to hear the reports of decline. Your words give me some hope, which I need right now.

Phooey. I was going to say she was my rambeau but the gender is wrong at both ends. Sheepbelle just doesn’t have the same snap to it.

It’s funny to think they might all be talking to each other.

And my brother, but he’s 1961.

Many thanks for your stellar photos, dialogues, and comments throughout it all! Such a treat to enjoy and ponder with you both. As much as the chance of the majority of CB followers actually meeting in person, we all feel as if we have known each other all along.
Give yourselves a mental and physical “stop” until you begin anew, and w/o any ills. Best of luck to you both.
Happy Thanksgiving !

So close, yet so “apart”..thanks to iPhones ..

Omg.I just realized Rachael has the same Birthday as my Dad..but his year is a bit different..;) 1912. Aries are “quite a flock”..:)

In West End? He didn’t give his name, but I’ll ask when I go back.

Any chance Jim Couch was the one back in the service area? Not sure if he's still West End or retired finally, but he owned the shop I used to go to in Tacoma.

Too bad that you didn't have the health to take advantage of your time there! But, Mallorca's not going anywhere.

I've some unfinished touring to do down in Cornwall, and a trip over to Ireland planned, plus parts of Lincolnshire that I want to visit.

Thanks for following along again, Fern. Its nice knowing you’re out there.

Well, that’s definitely in our sights also. We should make it happen this time.

I knew it wouldn't be too long before you hatched a plan.

I hope to be back in the UK next summer.

Thank you for another wonderful journey and for inviting us to travel along with you. The daily stories and pictures are always so entertaining. It's like reaching the end of a great novel, a bit sad that it is done but a feeling of accomplishment. Take care.
