But southwest England should be great. I'm hoping for lots of good country walks!<br /><br />Charlotte, you really lucked out with the weather! Last year, we were having snow on and off all the way into April! ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-19185827925765701552015-03-15T09:33:04.337-05:002015-03-15T09:33:04.337-05:00No unusual descent. But I have to say, when I was ...No unusual descent. But I have to say, when I was little, most flights out of Warsaw Poland (where I lived) had a stop over in East Berlin. Because of the airspace issues with West Berlin, the descent was tremendously fast and furious, made more awful by the propeller planes they still used in the early 60s. So everything these days seems to me smooth and effortless.<br />As to Snowdrop -- I have to think it's good for me and her to have a break. It cannot be that I see her every day -- I'll get way too attached to such a pattern! I'll be that grandma that you can't shake! So, I am tremendously happy to know she is bonding with grandma Charlotte and that I'll probably see changes in Snowdrop when I next see her on April 1st!ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222848486174278888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-1197952779019439902015-03-15T07:38:37.591-05:002015-03-15T07:38:37.591-05:00Spring peepers... first sign of Spring for me too!...Spring peepers... first sign of Spring for me too! Well, first after the snow clears enough for me to see the snowdrops in bloom. Plenty of snow still in WNY, alas. No snowdrops in sight, no peepers within hearing. Madison looks much more like Spring!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821118044192675764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-69563816268990181122015-03-15T07:35:02.853-05:002015-03-15T07:35:02.853-05:00I'm glad for the forgotten sweater... one more...I'm glad for the forgotten sweater... one more chance for Nina to see Snowdrop and one more chance for me to wish her a great trip, Looking forward to reading about it in days to come!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821118044192675764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-48737876052781121742015-03-15T07:10:37.486-05:002015-03-15T07:10:37.486-05:00Yes, that was a melancholy moment, the peeking. D...Yes, that was a melancholy moment, the peeking. Daughter could well have retrieved her own sweater, but no, Nana wanted one last look. Sweet, bittersweet. <br /><br />March is a great time to go somewhere warmer. Then, when you return, Spring is right at your doorstep.<br />Last night I heard the spring peepers for the first time! Hey baby, hey baby, they sing out, filled with lust.<br />Every year I just stand outside and smile into the darkness ... Welcome, you horny little tree frogs.JoyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023075108683227605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276751.post-19077014891283801662015-03-14T21:50:44.288-05:002015-03-14T21:50:44.288-05:00Aw, seems a bit melancholy, your leaving.

With as much traveling as you've done I guess if they have one of those extreme descents in Heathrow that you'll be use to it. (Scared me to death when I passed through there once.)<br /><br />Oh, no. What are we going to do with 2.5 weeks and no pictures of Snowdrop? She'll have changed so much by the next time we see her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
