Another jaunt
Mr Limey and I are off from one end of Britain to another in search of another 1930s hotel experience.
Tonight we are on the sleeper train from Glasgow to London. We left home far too early as there are problems with the ferry service and we wanted to be sure if catching our train. The sleeper cabin is tiny: about four feet by 6'6" by eight feet. Upper and lower bunks about 2 feet wide equipped with clean linen, a wash basin and that's it. I'll try to remember to take a pic in the morning. Sent by thought transference |
I hope you and Mr
Don't you suppose a word to M would straighten out those ferry rascals? ;) |
We have stepped back in time.

We're staying at Burgh Island Hotel. A totally art deco 1930s building, inside and out. It is fantastic.

Is it still a compliment when someone envies you so much they want to vomit?
I'm trying to channel Sophia Loren this weekend. I wanted The Great Gatsby but my knockers won't cooperate. You've found it. Wish the weather was better for you, but amazeballs all the same, you both deserve it. |
That's just super!
|
You have no idea. It's totally amazeballs! Tonight we have live music appropriate to the era. Evening gowns and black tie. All the rooms are full of wonderful 1930s furniture.

Moar photos darling. Please.
I'm going to bore my brother to death tomorrow getting a photo I approve of in my Loren frock. But you and Mr Limes can just catch the light and shine. OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Hmmm. Funny how sinister that sounds now I know the Doctor. |
That is a gorgeous place limey! Love that bar.
|
Do you guys mind if I park the food pics here too?
