Hello Chris, from a fellow Gregory.  I'm in Arizona.  Hope you're still around.  I'm like you, a confirmed anglophile and would be ready to take the pond jump at a moment's notice.

Keep coming around - lovely bunch of people here.

Hi Gregory's!

I was brought up amongst the Airmen and families from the base at Manston and will never forget how kind the "yanks" were to us when they left we lost contact, which is a shame.  The moms and the Kids were truly wonderful people, I would love to jump the pond

Have you ever tried looking at webcams on the computer I often visit Times square! and Google streetview is great.

All the best

John

Hi John!  I find the same in all the Brits I've met (a few of them  from this forum actually) when we were last over there in 2009.  We're long overdue for another visit.

Thanks for the kind words, John.

Welcome Chris...have visited the sunshine state four times...from clear across the country...Oregon..USA.  Only four times but about an month or so coming and going. I am an genealogist and am always looking people up enroute. Though my sister's best freind finsished off her nursing degree in St. Petersburg many years ago...then moved back here again. Look forward to seeing your pictures.

Hi Ruth !  Oh I am certain we are distant cousins somehow. I agree, lovely group of foks here on Poe.  Thanks for the welcome SK.  Florida is a beautiful place, getting quite hot now as summer approaches !  Time for another trip across the pond - oh how I dream and plan of another vaca in the UK !  John, always great to hear from you.  So happy to know our servicemen and their families made such a positive impression on you !  On this Memorial day, may God bless all our service men and women and their families for their sacrifices to ensure our freedom !  Let Freedom Ring !
