So, we’re just back from a month with our son & grandson and these are the things I miss most about California:
1. Son & Grandson
2. The almost certainty of blue skies and sunshine
3. People’s positive attitudes, civic pride & sense of personal responsibility
4. Cheap wine, fresh fruit and veg
5. Acres of ivory beach and blue mountains
6. Routinely wide parking bays
7. Son’s California King Bed
8. Sensible traffic rules
9. The song of the crickets in the evening
10. Ubiquitousness of lycra on perfect bodies (Sorry, mig )
And 3 Things I Don’t Miss About California
1. Sugar and/or salt in all processed foods, especially bread
2. Being too hot in bed. (Alas, no, not that kind of hot :oops: )
3. Snakes

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

There are no snakes on the forum, and Sebastian and I are pleased you're back0 -

Still sulking there are no photos .0 -
Well said mig, although I think she failed her duty in not getting photos other people might have liked to have seen them :oops: xxSmile a while and while you smile
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles0 -

Steady on, you lot. My face is clashing with my cabernet sauvignon. Who on earth is this paragon of virtue? I promise, it won't be long until you'll be wishing I was back with the lycra-clad ones. Meanwhile, my humble (moi :shock: ?) thanks.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

It was a long arthritic month without you but there was some comfort in knowing that you were with your family, enjoying the sunshine, eating and drinking well as well as drinking in the sights (including the lycra). It is, however, lovely to have you back. DD
PS Snakes? :shock:Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
Yup. One in the car park, the other looking for a game of cricket. No-one wanted to play with him.
I've just realised how badly I've let mig down. I have photos of both snakes but none of the dozens of 'lycrists'.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
