Jiggity Jog


Are we there yet?????


And we're back.

Had fun on our jaunt, altho' the weather didn't play ball. Whirlwind tour of the South West. Granny B just got a taste of this part of the world. She'll have to explore at length next time!

Cameron was a champ. Altho' we're still having our 4am and beyond parties...yawn...Altho' it's amazing what you can learn from TV at that time of the morning. Today I was up at 5.30 am and learned where the phrase the "*Halycon Days" comes from ... and was exhausted enough to find it damn interesting. So Looking on The Bright Side...

*The phrase Halcyon days is a literary commonplace in English language and culture, signifying ideals of prosperity, bonhomie, joy, liberation, or tranquillity. The usage derives ultimately from the Ancient Greek legend of Alcyone. In the context of the legend, the halcyon is a type of kingfisher that builds its nest on the surface of the ocean; the bird charms the winds and waves so that seas remain unusually calm during its nesting season, the fourteen days preceding the winter solstice.
