YORKSHIRE ,,,,, AND

We have been west now onwards ans upwards and skinrting the floods to Yorkshire where we found our hosts anne and Dennis in the best of heath and pleased to see us. They were great and looked after us and toured us to the finer places in doncaster, like drinking john smiths (smooth) beer.
we had an outing each day, the Bakewell where the famous cakes and puddings were invented... passing Castleton on the way...Ev had been there when Ian and donna, Carl and Karen were much younger Marian and Lawson doing OK. Marian coming out a couple dayson our trips.Karen and Carl both having their own families now ..we didnt catch up with karens 2 boys but jack and Eille came for the weekend and were a real pleasure to be around...even got Pete to play Piggy in the middle and football (see pics)...funny site as we have pictures. Ann and Dennis took us to elsecar and Hemsley both full of antiques and old world items.
Had a nice Italian and Indian meals ..but still seemed weird to see Indian food with chips.
We left Ann and Dennis Marian and Lawson and headed south to London. looking foward to seeing Ann and Dennis in February when they come to Australia.
A quick trip down the M1 brings us to London... depositing our car back to the owners..
Next morning strarted to negotiate trip to terminal 4 LHR as no cars allowed in close proximityto terminals at airport so was bust to terminal 2...train to terminal 4 and losts of walking underground dragging our cases.. those terrorists have a lot to answer for!!!! but we got there no problems getting out of the airport, plane ontime..good flight except Pete on one side of the place and me on the other..that soon sorted out by an obliging young man from Caper Canaveral who changed seats, the only hitch going through customs realised gold bangel not on my arm. still trying to track it down.
We say goodbye to England and Hi to USA
