Title: Hello from London!
Post by: trudy on May 17, 2014, 04:38:38 pm

Well we arrived safe and sound a few hours ago.  Have a week here with the highlight being two days at the Chelsea Flower Show before heading to Ireland.  Will try and pop in if the wifi's good.  We are lucky at this hotel but not sure about any others yet.  Bye, talk soon!!!

Thanks so much Judy.  I tried to post some yesterday but couldn't work out how to make them small enough for the forum to take them on the ipad.  Yes Gert you read right I finally have one!!!!
Just spent  a half day at Chelsea today as have seen everything.  Amazing and well worth the trip.  We are off in a minute to the British Museum. 
Thanks again Judy, what would we do without you!!!

Oh Trudy how wonderful to go to the Chelsea Flower show and good on you for getting an IPad. Download Tapatalk as it allows you to choose the photo size.

I envy you that trip.

Post by: trudy on May 24, 2014, 07:55:15 pm

Arrived in Dublin this afternoon took a taxi to the hotel only to find they had lost the booking (not good for the Hilton).  After a while they told us that we didn't have to sleep on the street!!!!!  They could find the booking for the time our tour stay's here and for after, not the two days before!  Oh! well small hic up!!!!

Thanks for the tip Gert, see what I can do.  Just not very tec savy!!!

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: Cornish Cream on May 24, 2014, 08:24:58 pm

That must have been a bit of a heart stopper Trudy when they didn't have your booking :-X Glad it is all sorted and you got a bed.

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: Yvette on May 24, 2014, 09:52:54 pm

Trudy love the photos you will get used to the iPad  it is easy as Gert said download tapatalk for photos if I can do it anybody can  :)

Title: Re: Hello from London!

I'm pleased you didn't have to sleep out on the street too Trudy. It would have been an experience though.  ;)

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: trudy on May 25, 2014, 08:04:45 pm

Think it would have a bit to fresh for me outside!!!   Have been very lucky so far with the weather.  Another good day today.  Spent the afternoon at Helen Dillon's garden.  It's a private garden close to the centre of Dublin that was featured on Better Homes and gardens a few years back and well worth the visit.
Our tour starts tomorrow afternoon at 2pm.  Sorry no pics as I can't work out how to post them!!!!

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: Mama Fergie on May 26, 2014, 12:28:33 am

Are you touring with Insight Trudy? Country roads? I hope you have a wonderful tour. Ireland is pretty and a very interesting country. I hope the good weather continues for you.  :D

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: judydawn on May 26, 2014, 01:30:35 am

Sorry Trudy, I can see the photos in my files but they will not move onto the forum.  I was confused with the last lot but this time I just cannot work it out and it keeps telling me access to the pictures is denied.

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: trudy on May 26, 2014, 01:41:08 pm

Hi, yes MF we start our tour this afternoon - Country Roads of Ireland.  The day started out well but now very grey and showers.  Have down loaded tapatalk so will try and work out how to post the photo's later.  Walked this morning to St Patricks Cathedral and right next door was a gem - The Marsh Library.  Was like stepping back into a Dickens Novel.

Sounds wonderful Trudy.  Can't change the weather just enjoy.

Trudy I bumped a couple of old posts about posting URL's and Ipad Tips and Tricks. I hope you can access them. If you can't you should Google search Ipad Tips and Trips Thermomix you will get lots of handy tips from us all. Newbies take note, a pic and a hyperlink is easy to do and well worth the effort in learning. Us old hands are always happy to lend a hand if you shout out.

Post by: trudy on June 02, 2014, 06:48:11 pm

Thanks CP, the problem is i just don't get time to read or try anything.  I have worked out how to send them in an email but that's all I am afraid. 

Title: Re: Hello from London!
Post by: trudy on June 02, 2014, 06:55:17 pm

Have been very busy since arriving in Dublin.  So much to see and so very little time to see it in.  We are up at 6 each morning and usually leave the hotel somewhere between 7 - 8.30 (if we are lucky).  This tour has been the most exhausting one we have ever done with hardly any breaks.  So when we get back at night it's a quick email to friends & family and then bed!!!

Have been so lucky with the weather as up until today the rain has stayed away.  Looks like our luck may change tomorrow as they say rain and thunder storms tomorrow.

So wish I could post some photo's as it's such a beautiful Country.  Green as you might  imagine with lots of wild flowers everywhere.

Visited Kylemore Abbey with it's walled Victorian Garden today.  Beautiful!!!   Tomorrow we reach Northern Ireland.
