Bailbrook House Bath

So after driving for a bit after leaving Stonehenge and we though it was time to something else. so when we saw a tourist sign to Stourhead we decided to follow it even though we had no idea what it was.

WOW!! These gardens are lurvely. If you get a chance you gotta come here.

Now I wish we had followed the earlier sign to Drogo Castle - found out latter that would have been pretty nice too.

I know it is amazing... like how did they erect these things 3000 years ago?

I can't tell you anything you already didn't know about this place I'm afraid, except that you get just as close from outside the perimeter fence as you do if you pay the entry fee so why pay?

Had a load of forms today from P and O they want another £300 for visas for entering the waters of AUSTRALIA INDIA AND USA even if you don't get of the ship. They don't mention this till one has paid. Is there anywhere special on the route that anyone would like a postcard from do tell us and we will put it on the list

... town, picked up a new book to read, had a tasty Latte and i am spending the rest of the day relaxing. Feeling happy.

I hope everyone is well. Thanks to everyone who may have taken the time to read my garble over the last year. And if there is anyone out there - New friends, old friends... who feels compelled (not sure why you would) to give me a shout and meet up for a drink or what not give me a shout.

... to it way back when.

After Bath, I wandered along the city (we had some extra time) and then a very nice Englishman bought me an ice cream cone of some delicious chocolate brownie goodness ice cream for my birthday - I was happy :) A little while later we began the trek to see Stonehenge. Driving to these sites was incredible in itself - the English countryside is beautiful. We got to see this (from far away ...

... British thing around, but combined with a large glass of pepsi, was the perfect thing for the day after the night before. This morning I was up before the crack of too-early and accomplished some things before Mish awoke. Time differences are fun! I called D at 745 British time and he had just arrived home from a late night working at the bar. Now I've got info about a local pub that serves only microbrews and will hopefully be excellent. I've been whining ...

... the café was overwhelmed by the number of lunch customers from the flower exhibition) we drove to Stourhead at Warminster. We arrived just in time for a tour of the gardens. Our guide took us on a short tour, lasting about an hour, of the highlights. These are delightful gardens, with ancient trees and stunning views. We returned to our B&B in time for a quick refresh before driving to a local pub for a huge dinner.

... I sat in the metro for several days and died. I had a stop in Bath the taxi driver spoke softly about a Dutch woman he'd known before A forger married to a thief stealing furniture, now behind bars I couldn't find my own as I broke a chain struggled getting out of the vehicle, clutching the length of a life. Live full Laura standing at the corner but I didn't get colours for more... twice the eternity or minutes later she came running, arms ...

... and Circus Circle, all beautiful. Mariiane found a cool bathroom that looked like a secret entrance in a Bond movie, very entertaining. The hostel was interesting, we had 5 other girls in our room, a mom and daughter, a girl from Leeds, and 2 Danish girls. Today we went and saw the Roman Bath House in Bath. (Forgot to mention we saw Bath Abbey yesterday which was beautiful and had tall ...
