Glamping It Up

You’ll never look at camping the same way again.

If you think the only time you’ll use a tent is at your wedding—one big enough to host your entire outdoor reception—then you haven't discovered “glamping” (that is, glamour + camping), the hottest trend in alternative luxury honeymoon accommodations.

Forget huge hotels or sprawling resorts. For the couple seeking an intimate, secluded, get-away-from-it-all locale for their honeymoon, the newest in tricked out tents is where it’s at. Inside, they offer all the amenities of five-star properties, but outside, they make such a temporary and low-impact mark on the environment that they can be set up on some of the most scenic, remote and breathtaking spots on earth.

Read on to discover our favorite glamping spots for your honeymoon.

Neighbors

That's what this blog is designed to do, help us to be neighbors by sharing news, things to do in our great location by the sea, and from time to time help out or share the bright and dark things that come along in life.
I've put together this as a sample blog and included this post and another I made up more as an example, although I do like Daryl's show on the Internet.  Over to the right on the Sidebar are items I typically do on my other blogs.

I'm willing to share my time and post items if you will send me stuff to put up in an email  that's fully written out.  I don't mind doing a little editing, but I spend most of my time writing these days and my time is limited.

Those of you who know what you're doing on the Internet will recognize that I'm no expert, and if you want to help out or even take over you're welcome to do so.   ANYONE can comment, without registering, by simply clicking on the word "comment" at the bottom of each post.  This is how discussions take place.  

Regarding discussions,  Facebook seems to be the place for high spirited conversations about our  HOA and I prefer it remain so.  (Actually, I think face-to-face is better for that topic.).  The Meadows of St. Patrick Blog will be best used as a news sharing device where you can read about activites in the M.B. area and general items of local interest.  And there are so many things to celebrate, from news of your child's first music concert to a retiree's art or terrific photograph.

If not many folks become interested in this blog, that's OK with me.  There must be a million blogs that never went anywhere.  I just thought I'd offer.

Murrells Inlet

 Nice intro web page

"Welcome to the historic fishing village of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, a quaint, little town full of history, beauty & colorful characters. Tucked away just 10 miles south of the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet is a nature lover's paradise."
 
"Here, you won't find flashing neon signs or roller coasters. In Murrells Inlet, you enter the quaint feel of a true fishing village, unspoiled by concrete and high rises. It's a place sought out by fisherman and naturists, whispered about by antique collectors, and revered by art lovers and horticulturists. It's the place where golfers come to relax, families come to dine and snowbirds come to retire"

Neighbour from hell (UK)

Neighbour from hell spent ten years ordering hundreds of taxis and takeaways and TWO TONS of coal to victim's home

A neighbour from hell has been jailed after he spent a decade ordering hundreds of unwanted taxis, takeaways and two tons of coal to the homes of his victims.

Paul Hayward’s campaign of harassment saw him throw mud, food and rubbish into their gardens and plague them with more than 150 silent phone calls.

His former neighbours spoke of their relief as he was sentenced to 14 months in prison after he breached an anti-social behaviour order on 19 occasions.

Patricia Jones and Jim and Jill Thomas told Newport Crown Court how the 49-year-old father of two made their lives a misery.

Hayward’s house in Machen, South Wales, was sold last month, marking the end of his neighbours’ ordeal.

Ms Jones, 67, said: ‘It was ten years of hell. We couldn’t relax, we were constantly waiting and thinking “what is he going to do next?”
