Best Western Angel Hotel Chippenham

... hides out (and trashes) in the latest film is in Lacock. And, wait for it, I can offer you an exclusive preview into what Harry Potter's parents' house (in Godric's Hollow) looks like, which will be appearing in the next film! How cool is that? Ok, well, only Caroline and Terri and a couple of other HP fans will get excited about it, but I thought it was cool.

Anyway, since I'm feeling rather sniffly, I think I'll end my entry here.

... 8221; to Wimbledon (but this time, it took several trains and one bus to get there!). On the way “home,” Murray and I picked up some more to-go pasties for dinner (love those things) – and then we baby-sat the girls for the night because James and Sue Ellen had previous plans. The girls slept like angels all night, and Murray and I booked our hotel for our next few nights in Rome and I caught up on some journaling.

Tomorrow, we head to Italy ...

Well 7 weeks to GO!!!!


June is still busy buying clothes can't keep her out the shops. We are busy trying to set up all the systems we need in place and staff what they need to do in our absence.

Great finding so many people interested in what we will be doing and where we are travelling to.

Just want to get Junes problem sorted at the hospital they are messing us about. Got heavy with them today.

Watch out for the next update.

What an arrival

Having board the easy jet flight we were told that the wind was blowing at 50 MPH in bristol well whats new its bristol we arrive 15 minuites late after a pretty bumpy decent but smooth landing at Bristol airport

Welcome to wind and rain as the door open follow by a gale blowing accross the runway

... breakfast of Full English for John and Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon for Jane, fortified us for the next leg of the car trip, this time to the Midlands.

Once the Sat Nav (aka "The *****") settled down we discovered we had only gone in a 50km circle twice and after a 5 hour ramble through the English countryside along the A30 and M5, we arrived at Tetlbury, a charming village in the Cotswalds ...

... 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.

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 ...

... and "find myself" like many people have suggested, but rather see what's out there. I don't plan on drinking snake's blood or running over hot coals (unless i'm smashed or paid to do it mind). Just wanna try new food, see nice things and have 6 MONTHS OFF WORK!!!! :D

Well not too much else to say at this point, fingers crossed in a few weeks I'll have more to report. Blog is now up and running, next step Bangkok.

... pub name in England, with more than 480 pubs in England bearing that name.

We got to Bath and saw the Roman baths which were very interesting, and after that we got to explore Bath on our own. We didn't have much time after taking so long at the Roman Baths, so there wasn't much we could do besides walking around the city and enjoying the architecture surrounding us. Bath is a beautiful place. I would definitely like to spend more ...

... as well as Bath Abbey, another really impressive cathedral. this one i could take pictures of. Once again ill try with photos, but no promises, as none of these comps have my cam drivers :( I hope ill get another chance to update you all soon, but i dont know whats gonna happen once this contiki tour starts. Keep the comments coming :) -Kris

... and it seems there is no wind here. Walking around the stone circle is fun and I take a lot of photos. I'm thinking, however, that the stones could have been bigger, at least I expected them to be bigger.

The circle used to work as an astronomic calendar, it would predict the solstice or some natural calamities. It was also used as a place of prayer, and people would meet here to begin and to end each season of the year.
