8 days to go!
This is a top pick! Dean - Only 8 days to go before we head out to Anchorage, Alaska! I've already been off work for one week (I finished on Friday 26th May), Alex finished last Friday (Friday 2nd June). Still a few things to do before we fly but we should get it all done ...

Los Angles to London then HOME! - Day 292
This is a top pick! A 10 hour night flight to LA from Nadi. Once in LA I had a mad scramble to get through the nightmare that is, US immigration and customs. Dropped my bags off, then changed terminal where I just made my second flight from LAX to London, which is another ...

Just off out for a while...

The return of the Wanderer!
15 months ago I sat at this very computer and wrote the first of these blogs. 42 of them later, and here I find myself once again, trying to figure out how I should some up all that has passed between. Many of the people on ...
Back in Macc
We reminisced away a few hours or so with Richard at St Dunstan's in Langley. We had worked up quite a thirst with a trek up Tegg's Nose for old time's sake. What we remembered as being a quite challenging walk on our first attempt 3 years earlier now ...
Preparation
Still nearly 2 months to go before departure but almost everything is ready for our first leg. We have tickets for all our flight sectors (£1080 x 2), travel insurance, a bargain at £280 for the pair of us, new digital cameras ...
The big day arrives!
So, here we are. The day of departure has arrived. After much organising, various parties, tons of idle daydreaming, and a whole move of house, I am finally ready to depart our cold shores. This morning already, I have managed to lock myself out ...
Football Heaven and Nuclear Nightmares.
... real, round-ball football that is. Sure I've been to see a Premier League game and that was great; I've been to see Macclesfield Town avoid relegation from the bottom division on the last match of the season too and that was great. But what I like though ...
Macclesfield
stair. The castle was fab!! Thursday 24th August 1972 - Macclesfield In some of the counties like Staffordshire the appearance of the country changes all together. Separating the paddocks were stone walls where all the stones are just wedged in. All of a ...
Langley, Where the Lane Ends
Our home for the next 3 or 4 months is the beautifully renovated townhouse in the quaint little village of Langley near Macclesfield in Cheshire. Langley's claim to fame as the village of 'the quiet lane' is quite appropriate. And at the end of that lane ...

Touristy Type Travel
... ??? Sorry I haven't written for a while but i am now in the UK! We are living in an area just out of Macclesfield (near Manchester) called Langley. Langley in so small and beautiful, just like you would imagine a little English village with stone walls, ...
Farewell 'the Dunnie'
Just a super quickie this morning to lament at the sad leaving of lovely Langley. The highlight of the week was Wednesday night where we were invited to a semi impromptu jam session come Irish folk music singalong at the local. I can't describe ...
Macclesfield Canal
Still pouring with rain - Hood up and down for the bridges once more. Passed a house with two helicopters in back garden (Coleen hanging washing out) What a pad! Steady cruise today to top of locks down to Congleton. Moored up at BW services ...

Preparations

Homeward bound
We planned to stock up on a few essential before catching then train (if that is what you do on the Channel Tunnel). We drove to Cite Europe, the massive shopping centre by the Channel Tunnel, to stock up on beer, wine, cheese and maybe the odd globe ...
Exploring up Tegg's Nose
You've got to admire the English and their sense of humour. Maybe its just ours, but the place names never cease to amuse us. A couple of very local examples here are Tegg's Nose (our local hill), Puss Bank (the name of a school nearby), Lyme Green (not ...
Home
We got up at five only to discover at the airport that our flight had been delayed by two hours - urgh. It was touch and go whether we would make our last train home, but we made it with time to spare. Got home far to late and have to get up for work in ...
The Shallow, Slow and Scenic Macclesfield Canal
... as a matter of course. After returning from shopping, we moved on up the Trent and Mersey and turned right onto the Macclesfield canal. This canal is very scenic as it winds through mountainous country with lost of sweeping views, embankments and canal ...
