Off to London! Or wherever it is Annalisa lives...

'Ello chums! 

 There's partying going on in Merry Ol' England  with the birth of the new royal babe!

 I was going to hop an international flight, grab me a pint o' ale and lift it in a toast to a celebrating nation.

 But that takes time...and a passport...and sadly I have neither!!

 Instead, I'm traveling via the web and hanging out with a wonderful friend (and talented writer!), Annalisa Crawford, as her guest blogger today.

 We're talking pig magnets and weight gain. You won't want to miss that, eh?

 Click your heels together three times and say, "I want to go to Cornwall"

 If that doesn't work...click HERE
(So Annalisa, how did I do? I could have gone the ultra Americana version and started off with, "Howdy Pilgrims". Hmm...maybe next time.)

    Welcome to England, Elizabeth! Don't need to click my heels already in (not so sunny today!) Cornwall. Will pop over to Annalisa's next stop.

      It's not been sunny here too much either. Rainiest summer in years!

      No I didn't! I guess we can toast with hard lemonade...they're summery and delicious ;)

      No, I missed the email, must have missed it in my multitude of junk mail.

    Jolly good show, Elizabeth.

    Oh what fun you could have in the lost in translation stuff that happens over here. Still, do I give a toss.

    Yes, I was one of many of your adoring fans who went over to the lovely Annalisa's site to note your very thoughtful guest post.

    Delighted that the practice for your honorary parade is coming along so nicely. Should you come over for real, I'm in charge of cleaning up the horse's poop at your parade.

    Cheerio and see you later, fairest lady.

    Gary :)

      Gary, when I get around to coming to England, you most certainly won't be at the tail of the parade of the parade cleaning up the poop. You will be the grand master...leading the way with your shining spirit and maybe a gnome or two.

      Cheerio to you too!

    Hi Elizabeth! You're the first new follower to my blog for ages, so welcome! You do know how far Cornwall is from London, don't you? Hours on a slow train. but you're right - Royal baby fever is running high there at the moment.

      Absolutely zero clue. My geography is in sad shape.

      Hours on a train? That could be fun...imagine how many chapters I could read? Though I'd HAVE to look out the window and take in all the scenery.
