My favorite traveling companions are all in Europe right now on a walking tour of Wales, England and Scotland. My sister, Susan, and good family friend, Debbie, left a week and a half ago for 7 days of Moody Blues concerts (overdoing it just a little, I’d say!) in England and Wales, with country hikes in between. My sister, Betty, her husband, Rick, and another good family friend, Kelly, arrived in England and met up with Susan and Debbie this past weekend for two weeks of countryside ambling through England and Scotland. I was supposed to go with them, but had to pull out for lack of funds due to lack of a job!
However, my buddies were thinking of me and missing me, so Susan and Debbie bought a stuffed monkey when they arrived in London and named her “Jan Jan” after me. They have been taking photographs of her at the various places they have been on the trip, and then Debbie has been posting them on Facebook. It is so sweet that they have been doing this. Here is my virtual journey so far:
"Janice, we miss you." Susan and Debbie were so thoughtful. They got me myvery favorite Starbucks drink, a Caramel Macchiato.

Here I am at Snowdinia National Park in Wales.
Visting Watership Down, the area of England made famous by author Richard Adams.
In Plymouth, England, at the Moody Blues concert. Boy, these guys are lookin' old!
Hitching a ride in Susan's backpack in Dartmoor.
Guess where I'll be tonight! (Hint: St. David's Hall in Cardiff.)
Another Moody's concert. This one in Birmingham. I hope this is the last one as my ears are ringing!
