A house in Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds Picture and enhancement by Chris Duffy
I am getting sooooooooo excited about our upcoming trip to England. We’ve started making hotel reservations, cottage reservations and getting our rental car all lined up. I thought we were starting a little early, but Mike said we’re actually getting a late start on this process. He was worried that we wouldn’t be able to find a cottage available, but we have 12 to choose from. My only regret is that my sister won’t be coming along with us. I just know she’d love it, but she IS going to go to England . . . someday. But then if my sister came along I’m afraid my husband would really feel like the odd man out, because Alice and I both LOVE taking pictures with our digital cameras and Mike could care less. He also doesn’t like it when I have him stop the car every ten minutes for another photo opp. That to me is the PERFECT vacation. . . seeing new places and getting to stop as many times as I like to get wonderful memorable pictures.
You see, I have such a poor memory, and the pictures help a lot to keep the vacations alive for a long long time.

What fun! I hope you have a fabulous time!!!
I have missed several of your posts and don’t know how I could have done that. I love, really love the picture of the cottage above. It is just too cute. I enjoy taking photos with my digital also and don’t you just love Paint Shop Pro. You may have an even better art program than that, not sure but whatever it’s so great to play with the photos.
Looking back in your blogs I see other great cottage photos. A trip to England will add many more I am sure of that. Maybe those little photo opportunities you take, your other half, get him a metal detector or something like that or hand him his golf club to take practice swings while you take your photos. Mine is pretty patient with my photo gathering and we usually don’t have a lot of time.
Anyway, it sounds like those vacation plans are coming together and you will be on your way before you know it.

I love taking digital pictures also. The ones you have posted of England are just gorgeous! :spinning: Isn’t it neat how we sometimes see things differently when we are with different people? When and for how long are you going? :sunny:
i am laffing because i do the same thing on vacation :laugh: and thanks for all the nice compliments on my photos! this cottage doesn’t look real – looks like something out of a fairy tale!
That is a great photo in the profile….the one in the cowgirl outfit. That’s classic.
If your memory isn’t so good, I have another idea…”Hi, Mom, it’s me, Mitzi…Dad said I could go to England with y’all….I really ‘ppreciate it!!”
My Mike has to stop for me to take pictures too, but he like to take them too.
:eek: wow, Chris… 7 comments before I even get to your latest page. Things are changing. :goodjob: Well, I wish I was going too. :jealous: I can’t wait to see all of the photos you will be taking now that you have a digital this time.
