A Step Back In Time

Went out for my walk today...and stepped back in time...
The Holyhead Traditional Sailing Festival
This event in Holyhead is a major sailing event centred around the marina
It is run by the North Wales Area of the Old Gaffers Association.
The Holyhead Sea Battle ensued
With canon and rifle
courtesy of the Anglesey Hussars and 'Hearts of Oak'
very loud ....and very cool
It was great to see two vessels firing at one another 
with help from those on the shore
With so much to see
I didnt manage to do much walking
But a great day was had by all

Frustration..

This visa situation is getting me down... I feel like I'm running round like a headless chicken..

I had an email from the US side today saying that the approved petition was forwarded to the London embassy on April 17.. my medical was approved June 18..and now I should call London to schedule my interview...so I did..and London are saying I cant make an appointment and will be contacted by email when everything is processed. I will just have to wait...sighhh. 

Ive been waiting 9 months.... 

Oh and its going to cost another 240 dollars..whatever that is in English....

Curious....

My Uncle sent me a photo of the beautiful flowers on my mum and dads grave 
Its a strange thing..but I can see a kneeling figure on the left hand side.. 
stretching an arm towards the grave...

Is it just me??

Still Waiting.......

Well....Im still here...and Im still in the Uk. 

 

This week I was planning to return to the States and start my new life with MrD. But, the American Embassy in London is experiencing a high volume of inquiries due to the increased number of approved petitions the NVC is receiving from USCIS. So Im still waiting for my interview to get my fiance visa approved. Im a little heavy hearted, but it will come eventually....in Gods time

 

Meanwhile..Im still working hard, still losing weight, still going on my long walks and taking my photos (when I can) and spending time with my family.

 

And...Im making the most of living by the sea. When I get to California...I think I will miss it

Surprise!!!

So....my lovely workmates had a get together for Chelsea, Jade and me, cos we are all leaving for different reasons. I went out into the garden for a chat with my daughter..then was called back in. 
I opened the door to the living room...and they were all waiting with asti filled glasses, a wedding cake and my lovely Mrd on Skype. 
We got to cut a wedding cake together, with some lovely friends present. Thank you ladies...and my beautiful Miss C for the wonderful surprise, for all the hard work, the secrets, and a fabulous evening. 
Love you all

Another Day with Little H..


This afternoon I took Little H for a walk..
This time to the Heritage Park at the base of Holyhead Mountain
Miss C came with us this time...
Little H sure loves his auntie
and vice versa
We took a stroll through the woods
heading towards the lake
where we had fun feeding the ducks..
We should have brought more goodies...
as the horses would have loved some too.
An energetic afternoon ...that deserved a nap as a reward...

100 Years..

Its 100 years since the start of the First World War..
I took a walk down to the cenotaph by the port
poignant...yet beautiful...
we should not forget.
