Ashley Hotel Cambridge

... on, broken by students or bent in the packing process. My co-worker and I spent a good half hour perusing Staples and trying to think of ways to build a stand out of book ends and paper clips, until she suddenly suggested making one out of a metal coat hanger. Hurrah! So that was today’s project, frolicking outside in the sun, bending 6 hangers into various pretty shapes until finally we have display stands! Yay! If I could bottle that ingenuity and sell it, I could make a fortune!

So after 6 months away and visiting 8 different countries, we have now arrived, reluctantly, back in England. Although its not as cold as we were expecting, which is a bonus!

We have had a fantastic time and visited some amazing places, and we are now hoping that reality doesn't hit us too hard!

Hope that you have enjoyed our blog and will probably see most of you shortly.

... the morning. We still haven't finalised our hotel in Delhi, but we're not panicking! Apparently the booking arrangements will only be finalised on Wednesday. Still the hotel gets excellent reviews and is a good price, so we want to stay there if we can.

We've got our netbook working now (phew), so our next post will be from India.

... cousin Elliot, his fiancee Nicole and their little 8 month old baby Isla came to visit. The girl has personality! After a play we were off to the Green Man for dinner - Uncle Alan joined us again. We had lovely views of the countryside and fireworks (Guy Fawkes seems to drag out for a few days!). Then back home to Hudsons Lodge for an early night - to Paris tomorrow!

... up by my cousin Elliot after some initial issues - Josh and I had hoped to hire a car for a couple of days, however due to lack of credit card we couldn't. Elliot kindly swung past Jim and Cath's to pick up all our 'other stuff' and then to Aunty Sue's house in the country - seriously !

Another country down - just Paris to go on Sunday morning. I can't believe we will be home in a week - the much feared packing will have to begin soon!

The most outgoing and bubbly people mostly go in for pastel shades or
light colors in clothing while the reserved people choose the safer
shades. Besides, you have those who wear bright prints and unique cuts

... could be blown around but not blown away, like dust. In the oil and steam-dust, heat currents formed like currents in molten iron. Every now and then, the oil appeared to fracture, like a kaleidoscope. We started talking about material properties, including my favorite, angle of repose. Angle of repose describes the maximum angle a pile of stuff can make before avalanches start. Piles of sand, grain in silos, volcanoes ...

... place a paper tag on your luggage which is only designed to match your suitcase to your travel details. In the millions of cases when that paper tag is lost or damaged, the luggage becomes untraceable and much of it ends up at auction. Last year 37 million items of luggage were lost worldwide. The personal details that match you to your TRACE ME protected luggage will not appear on the tag ...

... delicious dinner. They are all amazing chefs. I tried my best to buy juice and beer, but the juice I bought turned out to be Orange Squash, which is diluted and tastes kind of like tang. Oh well, it hopefully did the trick. It was a whole lot of fun. Returned to London the next day. PayPal has decided that I am a terrorist transferring funds abroad, and has decided to freeze my account. Not to be outdone, Stanford Federal Credit Union also decided that my Quad Card was stolen ...

... both finished work (Yeah!) and both Mick and I had our respective leaving doos last week. Yes Fiona, booooooo. I felt REALLY out of place in Cambridge. It is oh so English, very toffy, very old, but oh so beauiful. Most of the buildings date back to the 1500's and are completely amazing. For sheer quanity of stunning architecture, Cambridge is definately the best place I have seen in England so far. I ...
