Still alive and well, but thanks to a fiasco with a certain large British Telecommunication company we have no internet access until July the fourth. I'm a half hour walk from the nearest country bus stop and three miles from town where I can get onto a computer, so even that is limited.
I miss you all horribly and can't wait to get back. Apart from that, everything is fine. ♥

Oooh, I'm so happy to hear you are already there! Yesterday I tried in vain to send you a little message, but I gave it up, because I obviously couldn't see well the "special code"!:( I hope I'll succeed now! So, bye, Gretel! See you in July!
ReplyDeleteHugs!:)
Eeeeek....in this day and age you must feel extra isolated Gretel..... roll on July 4th.
ReplyDeleteRest assured everything is still as it should be ......
No doubt Margery will be put to good use?

Initially, I was all "WHAT???! That's CRAZY!" and then I realized that is a couple of weeks away. Still, that's NUTS! WEEKS???! You have to wait WEEKS??? Ugh. We'll be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new abode! BT need to get their act together - they took a fortnight to sort out my friend's hub.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this bulletin, Gretel!
ReplyDeleteI kind of figured that your new middle of nowhere just might be experiencing tech issues.
It's great to know that all will soon be resolved. Meanwhile, I am sure you all are enjoying exploring everything around you.

We. Miss. You. Too.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you are still 'out there' hope all is going as well as can be expected. (we had similar problems with them :(....they don't deserve all the customers they have ) Good luck, and love from Wiltshire :)
ReplyDeleteMissed you lots, but so happy to hear that you are in your place. I am so looking forward to hearing and seeing all about it.
ReplyDeleteLove to you.
Hi Gretel - take a ride over here to Churchstoke (near Montgomery) - come for a coffee and you can check your emails!! x Jo
ReplyDeleteOh that is so pants. Joan
ReplyDeleteHope the unpacking is going ok, life is settling and you are happy in Shropshire.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying your new home and that BT gets you back on line ASAP!
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you! I'm sure the break will make the return so much better, looking forward to you settling down in your new home and hope it's not too stressful. :)

Glad all is well! I've missed you ...... and your sorry tale makes me all the more determined to ignore BT trying to lure me away from aol!
ReplyDeleteBeen waitin' to see what was up ... happy that all is well EXCEPT for the fiasco. Look forward to your next post. (())
ReplyDeleteSeems like the internet provider thinks that 'The Middle of Nowhere', 'Can't be Bothered' and 'We'll Get Around To It When And If' are all in the same localle! Hope everything gets sorted soon.
ReplyDeleteBT fantasic :{ hope you're up and running again soon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new home, I hope you soon have it all the way you like. You'll survive without the internet, count it as detox and send lots of real mail!
ReplyDeleteOh. don't get me started on BT, arggggh. jsut wait while I put you on hold, music, nonsense, click, silence.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well and that ou and Andy and the moggies
are acclimatising. x
