The Pawmier Inn.

Yes, I know, when it comes to blogging these days, my contributions are sporadic to the point of almost being nonexistent.  If it wasn't for Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, this blog may well have gone for a permanent sleep.  

I mean, I've been twiddling my thumbs instead of putting up this post.  It's a post I should of posted up around the middle of July to compliment nicely the post on another site that I will mention further down this page. 

Monday morning, 16th of May. Such a significant day.  For this was the day Penny and I met up with Sharon Mayhew.  Sharon, as an eight year old child, spent a bit of time with some of her relatives in this town of Leek, Staffordshire, England, before she moved to the United States.   Penny and I prepared ourselves to meet up with Sharon and her grandfather.  

I was very nervous about meeting Sharon.  I was somewhat concerned that the place she was staying, "The Pawmier Inn", sorry, "The Premier Inn", might not be exactly be the best place to take a dog for breakfast.  Sharon, bless her, had received special pawmission, sorry, permission, for Penny to be allowed in a discreet part of the breakfast area.  

Upon arrival at the breakfast reception, we were greeting by a couple of the staff.  "Hello, you must be Penny!", one of the staff stated with absolute, wondrous glee.  "Come this way, please, Penny.  Oh and bring your human with you."  Okay, I made up that last sentence.  It's not easy for me knowing that Penny is a world-famous blogging sensation.  Yes, I'm rather jealous of the dog.

Penny and I were warmly greeted by Sharon and her grandfather, George.  It was a wonderful chat.  I felt at ease.  I really struggle with social situations.  To have challenged my anxiety was another step forward in my ongoing battle against my very low self-esteem. 
Sharon and her granddad, George, at the breakfast section.
Sharon told me it was okay to mention that George is a youthful ninety five.  She was teaching him how to use an iPad.  Proves you're never too old to learn something new.  George drove Sharon to various locations around England.
Here you go!  Notice how starstruck Sharon is with Penny! 
Sharon is delighted.  Penny is ready to grab the bacon on the plate! 
Awe, look!  Penny ready to give Sharon some doggy kisses. 
A photo off Sharon's phone as the two of them posed for a selfie....

And now for the link to Sharon's informative, interesting post about her trip to Leek.  The Gift Of Visiting The Setting Of Your Novel (MS) With Your Grandfather (Samuel George Johnston) and Meeting Blog Friends.  I would kindly ask you, if you haven't visited already, to go and check out Sharon's blog post.  Thank you.

Thank you so much, Sharon.  It was an amazing, inspirational experience to meet your good self and your incredible Grandfather.

  3. It looks like you and Penny had a very nice visit. I went over to Sharon's blog and read the post about her trip with her granddad. My gosh, he looks and has more energy than someone 30 years younger than himself. It was a delightful post to read and it was nice to see and Prnny having a good time in the restaurant.

      It was amazing and slightly surreal meeting a fellow blogger in 3D reality. Really pleased you checked out Sharon's fascinating posting. Thank you for that. Her granddad, George, has quite the youthful demeanour. Quite the inspiration. Penny had a great time and was very well behaved.

      Thank you, Arleen.

  5. There is always something so special about meeting a fellow blogger pal. I had the fortune of meeting several of my blogger buddies within the past few years. Once I get back to Florida, I have a few more on my list. Mark Koopmans, Crystal Collier, and Shelly Arkon. They will be others too, but I have to scope them out.

    I'd love to get over to England someday and meet up with my British friends (you and PENNY included). Too bad I can't bring my Westie, Hamlet along.... he'd have a crush on Penny for sure.

    1. Hi Michael,

      Wow, that's an impressive list of blogger buddies you've met up. I would state it's also their good fortune to have met a good dude such as yourself.

      Hopefully, you may head over and meet up with a whole bunch of your British friends and of course British fans. Would be a delight, Michael. Yes, a bit of a strategic nightmare bringing a dog. Hamlet and Penny, the movie, pawhaps!

      Cheers, Michael.

    1. Hi Teresa,

      You're so right about all those levels. Her grandfather and Sharon were a joy to meet. Yes, social situations can be a real challenge. Especially when I worry about my social skills due to so little interaction these days. The staff at the hotel almost bent over backwards for Penny.

  11. Hi Gary and Penny - such wonderfully happy photos ... and so good to read. I'm lucky I've met Sharon and George here ... and George for 95 is certainly amazing -- while he has that wonderful rapport with Sharon - such a wonderful thing for both of them. The Leek connection is great isn't it ... and then they both come and visit ... and Penny is allowed in the Premier Inn ... but so well behaved obviously ...

    Fantastic to see you blogging and sharing with us ... I'm so pleased you'll have these happy memories -cheers Hilary

      Indeed, wonderfully, happy photos. I know that you've met up with Sharon and her incredibly youthful, grandfather, George. It's quite the amazing connection we all share. The Leek connection just shows how small a world this really is. Penny was a very modest superstar and very well behaved, fur sure.

      Thank you for your encouraging words, my kind friend, Hilary.

  20. Hi Gary! How wonderful to meet up with Sharon! I'll need to head over to her blog to read her post. Good for you for stretching yourself. I get that way sometimes so I understand.

    Tell Penny hello! I saw she wasn't feeling well on one of your posts on FB. I hope she's okay now. Spike, my other Jack hurt his paw and was limping for a few days--which had me concerned. I think he's okay now. Fred's passing was last month so our family had a few somber moments missing him. That never goes away but it's okay. Anyway, hope all is well! Give Penny our love and hope she feels better.

      It was totally superb. Thank you for heading over to Sharon's post. Yes, anxiety and all that goes with it, it not a good situation. Still, the challenge was worth it. Thank you for your understanding.

      Penny is much better now, thank you. It was almost comical what happened in regards to clearing the carpet area by the front door so I could open the door to get a delivery.

      I sure hope Spike's paw is totally recovered. Fred, a cherished family member. Always loved, never forgotten. Bless you and bless the memory of your beloved Fred.

      Thank you for such a kind, emotive comment, Mina.

  27. That's so great that you got to meet her! AND good for you for getting out there and overcoming that social situation anxiety and doing it. I understand how hard it is to do that. I actually bailed on meeting a FB friend for the first time cause it was going to be a large dinner party and I didn't know anyone, except the one woman and at that, only from FB. Everyone else there were her old coworkers so I'd really be odd man out. I got so worked up I canceled.

  46. Wonderful meeting.
    I believe it's difficult for most people to meet the first time.
    Good for you.
    I bet you and PENNY were both hits! x

    1. Hi Kim,

      Indeed it most assuredly was. I know you are correct about folks meeting up for the first time. My situation is compounded because I'm a virtual recluse. Thank you for your supportive words, Kim.

      Penny was a hit and I was half a hit! :) x

  47. What a sweet, sweet dog. "Hello, you must be Penny!" Gary, she sure is an internet star!

    As for your next post
    From coast to coast
    Laced with irony
    In the place to be...
    Doing the right thing's not always the right thing to do
    Ask my friend Scooby Doo
    But my heart goes out to you anyway
    Night or day
    Well, maybe not at night
    That didn't come out right
    But you know what I mean
    At your Gary, Always Flairy Scene.

      It must be true
      The dog aint here
      I'll make that clear
      Have no fear
      She's over at her human brother's home
      Where she will roam
      My next post
      About the west coast
      Irony alert
      The irony hurt
      Doing right
      Has caused a plight
      Thank you for that

    3. Hey Blue
      I see you
      All the beast
      Is the very least
      I can write to you
      How very true
      Three things about me
      Let me see
      One-I'm compassionate
      Aint that great
      Two- Try to be caring
      Always sharing
      Three-I make folks smile
      There's no denial.

      Have a good one
      Have some fun
      Thanks again
      My Blue buddy friend

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
