Hi Mike! I'm so glad that you and your son had a great day at the airport and that the rain stayed away! Glad also that you are doing well and have fully recovered! I wish you a delightful day, dear friend! Sincerely, June

Hi Mike, Thanks for the link. The families are connected; it said the Cavendish at Bolsover was the son of Bess of Hardwick; and I know that the Chatsworth people are her descendants. I always loved history and would read anything I could find; am surprised at how much I remember! Have a great weekend. Lora

I thought it was well done Mike and I also was surprised tha the camera was allowed to be used so much but as there is not furnishings perhaps the reason why. Hugs, Shirley

Hi - I have just seen your photos re the WWE Smackdown/ECW at Nottingham 2009. My son and I went to the show but my photos have not come out very well. I wondered could you perhaps email yours so I could get them purchased and put in an album for my son - I will not use these photos for any other reason. Would be very gratefu. regards Anna

Hello, I looked through some of your albums, and would have left a lot more comments, but, I hate the guarded feature now in place...I have been away for most of the summer, then had a heart attack, and stent put in, doing fine, so during my resting periods, I wanted to go through my friends albums, to see what I missed. I love to comment on lots of pictures, so hate this guarded feature. Just leaving you a message here instead, to let you know I've been around, and looked.

Hi Mike, you must have been on line the same time as I was still looking, it has been a stop and start look for me as I have been watching the Melbourne cup Day race meeting and when the horses come on I stop to watch them and also the fashions. It is a house of history for sure and something to be proud of, does you Mum still live there? It must have been hard for you and family not having a toilet, still you made it Mike and now you and Cathy take trips everywhere and that is something no-one ever thought of back when you were a little one. Did Cathy enjoy the visit, I don't know what part of Cornwall my Grandfather came from but his name was Jack Brealy but I think it was really Ernest Brealy, not sure on that. Have a good day Mike, love to Cathy. Hugs, Shirley

Dear Mike & Cathy, I enjoyed the Oxford album so much, I am fonder of older rather than new buildings, they have a lot of character and substance. Took a view on slide show and that was great, the shadows only helped it look better if possible. Hugs, Shirley

You are welcome, Mike & Cathie! I know it takes time to upload the photos, name them, give info, rearrange them, etc... that's why I don't get many uploaded... I just don't have the time. I wish you a wonderful week, dear friends! Hugs, June

Dear Mike & Cathie, Thank you for your support and kind words with Edward. He sure was the apple of my eye and I am so lonely without him but trying to get on with the emptiness and hoping it will ease. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Shirley

Hope you both enjoy your holiday, will look forward to seeing some new pics when you come home. Shirley

Thanks for your message, Mike & Cathie! I understand that it takes a long time uploading an album, tagging it, rearranging, naming the photos, and adding comment under the photos... that's why I don't get more photos uploaded, just no time to get it done. Let me know when you finish your album and I'll come back and take another look after you are done. Have a great day! I send hugs to Badger and Bodger... Sincerely, June

Hi Mike & Cathy, so pleased you all had a good day at the re-enactment,it looked so wonderful and good to see everyone get into the spirit of the occasion. We have similar things here but they are theme parks and they dress like it all the time. One place is called "Sovereign Hill' it is an old mining site and the local schools even spend a day each at the little old school all dressed in clothes worn in the early 19th century. Quite a sight to see.Thank you for replying. have a happy day. Shirley

Hi Mike, Glad the weather was fair for the event at Scarborough. I've wanted to attend the Renaissance Faire in upstate NY for years, but its always over 30 degrees (Celsius) when they have it. Not the best temperature for an outdoor event. Looking forward to seeing the new albums you're working on. Lora

Hello Mike, I’ve been meaning to get in touch with you for a long time now but never seem to get round to it. I’ve been going through your very interesting albums for some time and I must commend you on them. You have a very varied range of subjects and locations and all beautifully photographed. I’m a comparative new boy to webshots compared to you but I can see that it’s a very friendly community and one can learn a lot by other people’s knowledge, their experience and the comments that are made. I don’t seem to get round to commenting on individual photos as much as I would like to but I can assure you that I am viewing them with great enthusiasm. I must also congratulate you on passing your one millionth viewing, a great achievement. Well done. In the meantime I send my very best wishes to you from cider country. Tony from Somerset.

WOW! Mike to POTD's today. I didn't realise when I wrote under the colt but I did when I saw the second paint pony. Congratulations on both of them and well done. Shirley

Your album was a treat with so many happy and healthy horses in a beautiful field, always had a horse growing up and then the kids joined in and joined pony club where I taught jumping, we were a horsey family off most week-ends to a gymkhana or a show. It was a wonderful life but like all young ones when they grew up they wanted cars instead of horses but we had our own acreage and I continued breeding until my hubby died and it became too much for me alone so I sold and moved to town. Your delightful album brought back so many happy memories and I thank you for that pleasure. Hugs to you both, Shirley

Hi Chezzy, Thank you for calling in and I am sorry to be so long in answering but I went to the Dr. one day about a bronchial problem and was sent promptly to hospital so an enforced stay there for 12 days has got me way behind in mail and messages but I hope all is well with you and yours. I am very tired and have to rest so am going to do a couple of messages at a time...Cheers and hugs, Shirley

said sjhpumpkin 4 months 26 days ago

Hi Mike, Thanks for the link about the church. The paintings remind me of something from a medieval Book of Days; they fit well in a Norman church. Saw on your profile that you are planning a trip to Kenya; sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Lora

said cosmogirl248 4 months 28 days ago

Hi Chezzy, See you have come by and left a comment on Macro Magic, it is something I like doing and I only have such a small camera, it is amazing what I expect it to do. thanks you so much chezzy for calling by... Hugs, Shirley

Hi Chezzy, You must be so busy getting around taking the pictures then editing and posting, what does your wife think about it all or does she go with you? You seem to have had good weather so I guess it is get what is left before the weather disappears, always seems to go bad at Wimbledon, won't worry them this year as they have a roof over like we have here, it sure will help the games to keep moving. Will take a peek in your albums now, have a good day Chezzy. Hugs, Shirley
