I'm on Vacation!!

[intertext]

As of yesterday, I'm on holiday until June 1. No big deal, you think? Well, this is the first real holiday I've had for ... maybe 10 years? I can please myself, set my own timetable - no work to prepare, noone to look after (except, of course, my dear dogs...).

So, what am I going to do? Work in my garden, get my house in order and... maybe ... a trip to England. My mum wanted her ashes taken to her home village, and I'd like to be able to do that this year. At the end of June, I'm having my hip surgery and will be laid up pretty much for the rest of the summer. So. I'm scouting for cheap fares, and may make a quick trip at the end of May. I'll keep you posted.

I hope you enjoy the holiday...

Out of curiosity, which English village did your mother hale from ? I don't suppose it's one I know, but I'm curious...

Wow. I am so jealous. Let me know if you come to England - I would really love to meet you in person.

Do let me know if you do come to England - I am off to US on 24th for Wiscon but shall be around until then.

You sound like you're really ready to lay your mum to rest. Good for you. I know so many people who keep remains for a long while before putting them where they're supposed to be.

Hopefully it won't be too painful to travel, with your hip and all. Good luck!
