Ashford International Classic Hotel - A Q Hotel

... least that's how I like the think of him. Some of you may have read about this gentleman in my Facebook postings. I asked him if he knew when Greenpeace intended to come down. He shrugged and said they hadn't yet mentioned that. He went on to cheerfully talk about how their demonstrations worked and how they had scaled the walls. A bicyclist happened by, laughed, and asked how the demonstrators had ...

... at the moment so i won't go wake him up to write anything! We hope to update this blog as often as we can, but just don't know how often that will be yet, but please don't worry if we don't update in a while, it just means we are out on safari in the middle of nowhere!

Next job....getting on a plane! Starting to get a bit nervous....should be alright after take-off though (fingers crossed).

Will miss you all. xxxxxxxxxx

... cottages to magnificent cathedrals. As I mentioned before, I actually went up the 124 steps in the tower of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Oxford. I felt very old as I struggled up various circling steps, very excited to get a glimpse of the light that meant the end of the stairs. Two things made me feel better when I got to the top: the view, and a ...

today i was left behind with daddy - mummy had a work thing.

The day started off really well - managed a lie-in - first time in 4 months!! the she-devil normally drags me out of bed to force feed me at some ungodly hour - in fact its generally still DARK!!

So after a lazy start i was ready, around 11h00 for boob food. She'd left ...

... home made arcade games, many of which were very amusing and taking the **** out of all sorts of things - old people, artists,the superstitious.

From there we detoured to our very good friends, The Phillips, down in Southend; and played with the greatest kid the world has ever seen. From there it was a quick trip over the QE2 bridge into the land of milk and honey - Kent.

... br>...arriving at Heathrow from Singapore, I didn't want my fun to end, so in the car home myself and Helly hatched a plan. We would tour the British Isles on a whim. No plan, no real ideas, just throw the bikes and tent in the car and go, just see the country we had grown up in.

This is the story of that idea...

... seeing how I've been signed off for my GP placement (actually on Thursday, woohoo!) I guess this means that elective period has officially begun. Amazing!!! I have to say that I've been waiting for this moment for what feels like an eternity. Even before the dreaded finals it was all I could think about (to the detriment of revision). I supposed I'm still in shock that I managed to ...

... have TV!!!! Yeah! I could have used this when I was couch bound sick...oh yea, I don't have a couch. The two things required when ill: couch and TV. No wonder I am having such a hard time getting over this cold. Saturday was D-day for me....drive day. Steve and I decided to find a country road so I could practice driving. We finally found a road I was comfortable with so we pulled over to switch. We pulled over in front of a group of men putting ...

... so avoids the driving. I very much enjoyed getting behind the wheel of Wendy's Suzuki Vitara for our drive to the nursery to buy some flowers for their impressive garden. Driving here is ok because they drive on the left side of the road, but some things like no stop signs make it a little tricky. And the speed limits are in miles per hour... confusing. But, nevertheless, I loved driving again - I miss my blue Ford Falcon AU Sedan. I'm off to Cambridge tomorrow.

... went to a small but magnificent castle of Bodiam, then to Dover, Stonehenge, Bath, Brighton and to London (twice). The lessons were in the mornings, so I would spend the entire afternoons strolling in the old town, searching for some old albums about Great Britain, chatting with people and learning. It was a great, totally carefree time. I'm thinking of repeating the same thing with French in France and/or Spanish in Spain.
