My mother and I are making preparations for our little tour of the "Rural Landscapes of England, Ireland and Scotland" by the the tour group "Go Ahead Tours". Very hard to pack for 16 days. I am of the "bring as little as you can get away" mindset, hoping for some time in a laundromat. But let's face it,it is very hard to find that many nice casual outfits. And as my family and friends will tell you, I am not known for good fashion. As evidenced by the time my then 15 year old son, Matt, begged me not to please not go get the mail down the driveway at the same time he would be dropped off by his friends coming home from school. Or my son David who told a friend that he couldn't possibly have seen me at the grocery store in my work jumpsuit, (carhart of course). But alas, it was me. It is a wonder I have not been nominated for that tv show, "What Not To Wear".
Now that my children are much older, this year they are 34, 32, 30 and 26, they have come to terms with my hit and mostly miss fashion sense. My mother serves as the family fashion police. But I will try very hard not to embarass my mother on this trip.
When I return I hope to post some pictures of our trip on this blog and tell a few stories. And if any of my UK readers want to reach me, I will be getting my email at my GuardsFarm@gmail.com site during the trip.
Living the life of Riley....
