... is quite big in the UK, the shops are full of Halloween stuff and dress up clothing! Elle and I decorated the front of the house with stickers etc. Elle had done a pumpkin at school and Jane found this battery operated light that switched on and off and changed colour. You'll see some lovely photos of us dressed up.<br><br>Elle's friend had a party for the kids and then they went trick a treating.. everyone in the neighbourhood was quite good except for ...

Bournemouth has a very funny layout.. the two main streets of the town go up both sides of the hills that lead down to the park and eventually to the famous Pier.<br><br>I was a bit down in the dumps this day.. I think because I was watching all the families and couples having some fun. It was mid term break so there were heaps of kids around and the entrance to the Pier was packed with amusements and ...

After being with my uncle for a couple of weeks I headed to the New Forest to stay with friends of mum and dads for a while. They live in a beautiful part of the county, surrounded by a National Forest. Its full of wild horses, pigs, cows and donkeys. They just walk around the forest, across roads etc. So its a bit dangerous.. well i think so anyway.<br><br>I went for lots of bike rides through the forest, some in the forest itself and some along the ...

... the train station, Hannah got questioned about her age, because she is so tall everyone thinks she is older than 15! On the way Jane had texted us to say that there had been a mix up with the caravan and we would be staying in a tent! Hannah was horrified.. so was I.. its still a bit chilly in the evenings!! lol<br><br>But all was good, our tent turned out to be a very large caravan.. more like a permanent van, three bedrooms and I think slept ...

... to Pizza express.. and they have these entrees called Dough Balls!! lol more fat and more grease to eat!! By this stage I was finding it hard to walk normally down the stairs to the toilet.. woops<br><br>I think we ended up at another pub and with Ally's brother and his friends.. was quite a fun night but the headache the next day.. ouch. Apparently its because I had mixed my cider and wine.. a no no. Ah well you live and learn!

... house. They know how to open the doors (with their paws AND jaws) and let themselves out whenever they feel like it. They generally rule the house and as much as I like animals, I had to be careful not to encourage them. And if you so much as look at them, they think you want to play so they jump and climb all over your trying to slobber in your face. I prefer cats. That's all I have to say about that. So Sonya and I watched one of her ...

... is still loyal to her roots despite her dual nationalitiness. Now I am just getting ready to leave once again. Back to the airport which is becoming my second home it seems. The sun is shining and there is not a cloud in the sky. Son said they havent had a nice day in oh so long. I said that maybe I should leave more often. Sorry I couldn't meet up with all my London friends but I really needed a quiet restful few days. Next stop is going to be a major headspin.

... me in the travel was Bath. The Roman bath was worth wandering around with a self-guide gadget, although John didn't enter it because he had been there many times. Royal Crescent was a fascinating architecture, but I was not interested in its inside. So we just sit and relaxed in the yard in front of the building. Then we strolled around the town, walking along a beautiful stream near the Royal Crescent. <br>
