Perhaps she and Lizzie will meet. The Yarn Barn is great to visit and will ship. There is also a Brit Shop across the street which has Weetabix, Jaffa Cakes, tea and tea biscuits. Quite expensive but sometimes you just need a remeberance. deidrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369479820726625599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-88868639123708813962012-12-05T22:16:38.000+00:002012-12-05T22:16:38.000+00:00My father was given an i-pad for his 89th birthday...My father was given an i-pad for his 89th birthday and has managed to learn to use it. He now happily "surfs" the web for gardening, religion, philosophy, woodwork and anything else that takes his fancy. I have no doubt that your husband will pick it up in no time. Your only problem will be ensuring it remains charged while in frequent use!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-64408610221706930712012-12-05T16:59:06.707+00:002012-12-05T16:59:06.707+00:00Hello Jean,
Chiming in on the extra baggage thing....Hello Jean,<br />Chiming in on the extra baggage thing. I think it is possible to pay for extra baggage on line which is much cheaper than arriving with extra baggage. Just make sure that Archie is ready to say that yes, everything is his and noone put anything in the suitcase without him knowing.<br /><br />I also wanted to comment on Chinese peasants knitting - I love that you have Kirsty's literary career all mapped out (I know her mother writes of course). <br /><br />I was in China a few months back for 3 weeks. Beijing and Shanghai with some cycling between. I never saw any peasant knitting, they were all busy drying and threshing peanuts, rice, garlic etc. But in the towns I saw a few shop assistants/owners sitting outside their shops knitting. It was always single colour stocking stitch on straight needles and no pattern in sight. No photos though.<br /><br />All the best<br />Dawn Dawn in NLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189050640379340589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39908032348622986542012-12-05T15:02:23.825+00:002012-12-05T15:02:23.825+00:00I scrolled down to leave a comment and see Patienc...I scrolled down to leave a comment and see Patience and Mary Lou beat me to it. I might as well chime in too and say paying for the extra piece of baggage, even if it is a bit more than the cost of postage, seems a good solution. At this time of the year almost anything seems better than another trip to the post office.kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-84164619993529796412012-12-05T14:03:02.196+00:002012-12-05T14:03:02.196+00:00I was wondering the same as Patience.

I have yet to do mine, of course, but only to NJ and Texas, so I still have time.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-41187750175014716272012-12-05T12:01:16.214+00:002012-12-05T12:01:16.214+00:00Does the very limited baggage allowance not allow ...Does the very limited baggage allowance not allow any extra suitcase at all, or does it charge a fine? How much is the fine compared to the postage?Patiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911107808268156389noreply@blogger.com
