Jackson here I come!

by  •  • 4 Comments

Dear All,

            As I sit here with only a little over a week away from my trip to a sunny Mississippi, I watch the sleet gently cover the road softening the edges as if a blanket was covering the ground. This is some what like last year when only a week before heading for Murphys, Manchester airport was close due to snow, but I digress.
This morning I made my annual visit to the shops to update my wardrobe T shirts, jeans, trainers and shoes, for once again I wish to look my best for all the Mississippi belles, I have also been brushing up on my etiquette as well as practising my air kissing, which I'm informed is the normal way of communicating with the opposite sex in the southern states.
But the main reason for my email is to give you all WARNING, that during my shopping exhibition I purchased some shorts, and feel it is only right to warn you that I plan to air my legs in the Jackson sunshine. 
You have been WARNED!
Brits abroad OK, Brits abroad in shorts, Oh dear!
See you all soon,
Ian :o)

  1. Hello Ian,
    Today in Jackson (central Mississippi) it’s about 80 degrees F, so you could probably wear those shorts. It has gone from absolute winter to spring in Southaven, Mississippi( north Mississippi) the past two weeks. I just hope ole man winter doesn’t surprise us with with a return visit as he often does. Looking foward to seeing you, just don’t bring that sleet with you.
    Regards,
    Larry

  2. Ian,
    That sight alone should be worth the trip to MS; alas I will miss the spectacle! Hope you have a great time, as I am sure you and everyone else will; once they get over the shock of seeing your legs of course.

  4. Our registrations for the 2011  Jackson American Daffodil Society have exceeded our early expectations with 150 people fully registered for the convention.  Who would have thought that Ian’s coming across the pond in shorts would have created such a stir here in the Deep South? As of today, the local TV stations have not heard about Ian’s coming to Jackson.  Perhaps we can get a bit of coverage on the 5 O’clock News with Ian, shorts and all, meeting and greeting the daffodil show visitors!
    It’s not too late to register for the convention!
    Ted Snazelle, Chairman
    2011 Jackson American Daffodil Society Convention
    March 11 – 13, 2011
