Dear all,
Just to let you all know that I’m finally back in England after visiting my honey at Pelican Bay SHU.

I actually got extremely lucky and out of the 4 visits 3 of them where double so I got 9-11am and then 1-3pm

I went with my honey’s brother for the 2nd weekend and when he inquired about him getting double visits they added the both of us on there.

I managed to get a quick hello and a wave from some of the other inmates in there who my honey knows and although they are living a nightmare they all seem in fairly good spirits.

I’m afraid that’s all I have to report because I’m now feeling empty and missing him so much it has turned into a physical pain in my chest. I’m going to try my hardest to visit for thanksgiving in November as we both decided 6 months is just to long to wait.

Hope you are all well (Barbara I have PM’d you)

I'm glad it went well and that you got extra time! (Curious--what did you decide to wear??)

Hey Deb,
I ended up wearing black pants and thin but high necked sweaters and white cropped jeans and what us English call trainers (tennis shoes)
All was fine I managed to get in OK but on the 1st weekend they where sending a lot of people away for dress code regulations

Hi Joanna, I'm glad you had a good trip and visit. I'm sure it was hard to leave and return home alone. I hope you are able to visit again at Thanksgiving. Try to keep your spirits up, I will be praying for you.

Hey Joanna

Glad to see you back in good old Europe !!! :) Well, I know you would prefer being in California, I do hope you'll be able to go there for Thanksgiving.

I'm happy you had such great visits, I hope you will give more details later. We missed you on PTO, and you missed this crazy heat we were having till the end of last week in Europe !! Queen Elizabeth even considered not wearing a hat anymore !! :D :D

I don't understand why you didn't wear those wonderful J.P Gaultier, Christian Lacroix and Chanel outfit I sent you pictures of, but anyway, I think you are gorgeous just wearing anything ! :)

Have a good rest and come back soon for a detailed post about your stay in Ca.

Love
Phil xoxo

PS: Aren't you supposed to come to Paris in September ??

What...no high heels??? Joanna in "trainers"??? (When I met Joanna I thought "well, she's tiny, but not quite as short as I thought she would be!"...an hour or so later I noticed that she was wearing 3 inch heels!)
We'll be waiting to hear that you're on your way back, Jo - sure hope you manage the Thanksgiving trip!
