Covid Testing Day & Home Tour

 

If you said French Fries for breakfast you are right.

Covid Test Time

After we finished breakfast that Roger made.  We all gathered around the table again to figure out what we needed to do to complete our day two Covid test.


Charleen was the last one to do the test.

We had to swab both sides of the back of our throat and then had to stick the swab up to our brain from both nostrils.  It was so much fun as you can tell by the video.  Then we loaded up the tests and delivered them to a drop off location for the lab.

Roger in his happy place.

We are only allowed out if we have to get food.  What better place to go to pick up some groceries but Costco, which just so happened to be on the way.

I wish we had the same items at our Costco food court.


I had to buy some fresh cream mini victorian sandwiches.

Then it was straight back home.

Living Room



I really like the ceiling detail.  The kitchen has different texture that is also nice.


Eat in kitchen



Good thing the refrigerator is not one of the super tiny ones so it can at least  hold a few days of food. Most importantly it has a freezer that can hold some ice-cream.

We also have a nice sized backyard.

Unlike at home it is cool enough to go outside.

Back view of the house.



Stairs are a little steep and you definitely won't be sneaking down them.

The hallway walls have a nice texture also.


Our room has an ensuite.

Dont drop anything in the shower you won't be able to pick it up unless you open the door and step out.


Double bed room


Doghouse bedroom

Downstairs bathroom where the dreaded Covid tests were carried out.


It is an old home with some updating and it could probably use a good professional cleaning but it gives us plenty of room to spread out.

Getting Ready to Travel to the UK During Covid

Image
We started planning our 2021 United Kingdom adventure in August of 2020 thinking that by that time the Covid restriction nightmare would be over.  Well as we all know that was not the case.  I had booked places to stay that went out of business or were not opening for the season because of all of the Covid issues.  Then as time got closer found out that we would have to quarantine for ten days once we arrived in London.  So then I had to cancel five of the places we would have been staying at plus a much anticipated tour of Highclere Castle and book a home we could quarantine in for the whole 10 days.  We also had to book Covid tests in England to take on day 2 and on day 8 before we left.  The research that went into that took a lot of time because when I thought I found one I would then look up their reviews and would decide against them.  I finally went with  Screen4  self testing.  I contacted Elliott the owner of the home that I ha...

Land's End, Carn Galver Mine & St. Ives

Image
Today we headed out on a drive.  Our first destination was Saint Michael's Mount.  We could not find anywhere to even park so it was a quick pull over and take a photo before driving on. Land's End is a major tourist trap that if you want to do everything will empty your pockets fast. The views are beautiful though. This cute little village was originally in Lelant but was moved to Land's End circling the standing stones. I can't get over the beauty of the land. These have to be the first geese that I have been around that were not mean. on our way from Land's End to St. Ives we came across some wild horses. They were very tame. I wouldn't suggest petting them though because as we found out they have ticks. People can just pop up a tent or probably even their camper van in the field.   We drove by some lovely little villages and homes. Beautiful puzzle piece fields. Well St. Ives is just going to be a drive thru also. Homes with a view. I can see why it is so po...

Travel Day's

Image
We made a pit stop in one of the service exits on our way back to London.  I thought this little kitty was a fun little bit of whimsy on the restroom door. After Ben and Charleen got their lateral flow test to be able to fly home tomorrow and we got checked into our hotel we walked down to a restaurant that we had passed by.  The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. We had a classic English meal of bangers and mash with spotted dick for dessert. We also stopped to admire the flowers on the way back and to make fun of the smallest garbage can out on the street. Charleen and Ben turned in the other rental car before their flight and we walked over to pick up our new car. We just barely fit in the Hyundai I10.  Roger has to be a contortionist to get in the drivers seat.  It does make parking much easier though. We made a pit stop at the Jamaican Inn  that our friend Will recommended.  To bad the restaurant and the outdoor seating area was clos...
