We're Baaaaaack! (And we are tired!)

Yes, after more than a week, 9 days to be exact, our internet signal has been restored. Apparently it was quite easy once you get through to the right guy, and that apparently takes 9 days. You would think that I would have loads to write about and I do have something to say about one thing that I will probably post tomorrow but I am just too tired today.Chizz took us on a country "walk" yesterday in Pangbourne, Berkshire county. But it was really a long hike, 9 miles. We walked through the English countryside which is basically mud from November through March, but that doesn't stop Chizz!! It was beautiful I admit grudgingly and there was lunch at a great pub. So I can't complain too much. The hike took us up some hills and we got a great view of the Thames River and the countryside. One interesting tidbit is that you are allowed by law here to walk through other people's properties, farmlands, fields, woods, yards, etc. So you find yourself climbing over fences, following the path outlined in your guide. At one point we had to walk through a field of cows. Chizz told me sometimes he has walked through pastures with a big sign that says "Careful - Bull in field". You have to walk very carefully. I have a picture to show what it is like.
I think it will pass the teenage censors I live with because no faces are showing. Although Chizz is pretty recognizable.

(He's the one not chewing the grass.)
