grandaughter's 1st pony ride

So I found out by playing around that I cannot insert a picture into the blog when using my ipad. I can do it from my computer - see?  Don't know why, but it's discouraging because I was hoping to show at least one picture every day while we traveled.  Isn't it ironic that we have all this wonderful technology and ways of doing things that we couldn't have dreamed of ten years ago, and yet, when it doesn't work, or doesn't do what you want it to do it makes for unhappy disgruntlement (is that a word?)

Went to lunch with a friend this week who reassured me that England is, yes, quite wonderful with little serendipitous things to be had around every corner and that overplanning was not necessary.  So Go With The Flow has become my new mantra and I got to practice it last evening when we got to the outdoor concert and the music was awful--thumping electric guitar.  Nope, not relaxing, not condusive to conversation.  We turned around and went inside a restaurant for dinner.  Menu terribly overpriced, but we each had salads and shared a small pizza, plus we had a 20% coupon so all was fine.  Then on to the drugstore where my hubby found hair coloring at 70% off.  So all in all, the evening was a plus.  Instead of turning around and fleeing home after hearing the music, we adapted to a new plan.  Happy outcome.  Hopefully, that mentality will carry us through our journeys overseas and we will meet delightful surprises around every corner.
