... over globalisation etc and the answer lay in- dum da dum- Marks and Spencers food hall! That great bastion of British commercialism that has thankfully been underrated and therefore rejected by the rest of the world...French, Spanish etc, they may mock our cuisine and turn their continental noses up at the dubious delights of minced pork encased in jelly and deep fried in a pastry case, but M&S ...

... first one to sleep. The lights were still on when I slept and I thought that my roomies needed the light to read or do their things so I didn't do anything. However, at around 12am (when the kids noise finally subsided after a few talks by me), the lights were still on and the mad thing is that everyone else were asleep!! The last person who needed the light cannot be bothered to switch it off!! My goodness!! Some of the rather sleep with the blanket over their head than ...

Woke hearing the ringing of church bells from Holy Trinity for the 6am and 8.30 am services – such a lovely sound!!. Lay in and read for awhile before heading out to Kenilworth Castle (about 20 mins. away) with Stephen & Michele. Cost 4 pounds 95 for me and 2 pounds 50p for Nathan (total $17.50)

... on doing the 4 hour walk (9 miles) but due to the bad directions ended up getting lost, going to village that wasn't even on our map and did the 2 hour walk in 3-1/2 hours and walked about 10 miles. We started off uphill to the top of Dover Hill where snow totally covered the ...

Brad called & woke me up at 6.30 am... looked outside and there was snow on the cars and rooves.... so pretty. Today was 3 degrees but minus 3 with the wind chill.

We had thought to bring spare shoes with us to change into but hadn’t thought about spare jeans. Nathan had mud up the inside of his legs past his knees and so we made him strip down to his undies to get into the car. My jeans were wet and muddy, at least the bottom 8 ...

... was used to create electricity. We then walked down to the boathouse on the River Avon. We had a great time and really enjoyed it all.

... a jacket potato with tuna 3 pounds 95. While we were there it hailed, rained and then had big fluffy heavy snowflakes, but it melted. We finished lunch and went walking and did a nice circuit walk on public footpaths through fields, little lanes, through lots of mud and past some lovely homes.









Next we drove ...

... Mews. They have a lovely one bedroom upstairs apartment. Nathan and I sleep on a blow-up bed behind the map divider in the lounge. The map divider is great – wallpaper of the map of the world. Makes you want to explore the world. Had a dinner of Roast Chicken and veggies – all premade and just heated up. So yummy! In bed asleep by 8 pm UK time – 12 midnight Dubai time.

What a mad few weeks! I knew it would be like this....I gave my self 2 months to prepare for the big adventure but due to unforeseen circumstances it was not long enough, and there I was running around right till the last minute! I started packing my bag about 30 minutes before we left home... that says it all. The last few weeks have been great. Paint balling was one of the most memorable events, thank ...
