to know one's self
Mar. 1st, 2012 08:22 amMr. Jenner mentioned in an email to his Mum, where we will be going on holiday in August (peak district, obviously inland compared to much of England) and she replied, "That looks really lovely! Only one thing missing and that's the beach but you'll have plenty of that for the rest of the time!"
(they live right by the ocean)
Mr. Jenner said to me, "She has been married to my Father a very long time."
Mr. Jenner's father, the ever entertaining Dr. Jenner is as one knows, a Jenner. To be a male Jenner is to know what you like and like it very much. Dr. Jenner's ideal holiday involves a bit of sea and in the most ideal conditions a restaurant or pub with a view of the said sea/bit of water. So that one might have a drink, a nice meal and a view. That way he can watch the water, hopefully a boat or two and experience his version of nirvana.
When Dr. Jenner goes on holiday, there is always a beach. They have spent a lot of time in the Mediterranean and have visited many many islands over the years. The booking of holidays falls on my Mother inlaw, so every year there are discussions about where they could go, that has a beach, maybe a pub or two with a view, and hopefully some sort of thing of interest. Major bonus points if the place is warm. Having seen these holiday photos for nearly ten years, I can tell you there are usually pictures of local flora, (though due to my influence, my Mother in law now takes pictures of the local food too) many pictures of the sea, and a picture of Dr. Jenner eating ice cream. He has his sun hat on. From the Med to South Africa. There will be the Sea and ice cream.
Mr. Jenner also added, "My Father will put up with Cambridge" only because there is a river and there is a pub he likes that is on the Cam, so that he can watch the punting, the bit of water and have his beer. Rivers are methadone to Dr. Jenner. I did ask if he would be impressed by a really large river (like the Mississippi or the Nile) or a really big lake -like Lake Superior. He said he might. But really the man loves the sea. In Dr. Jenner's mind I think he would want to be a sailor.
