... A new form of fly away hair mine was fly everywhere.<br>I am dreaming of sitting on my parents decking in the morning sunshine eating a whole fresh mango (juice dripping type - yum) for breakfast reading the morning paper (prob be the Geelong Addy as thats Dad's usual, which I don't luv but at least its not footy season so I won't have to read just about the Cats). Bring it on I say.<br><br>

... t be bothered with the shopping crowds. Having to fight your way through the likes of Primark (hell on earth in terms for shopping and I'm a shop-a-holic so it must be bad) or on the escalators in the Bull Ring just didn't appeal today. So I saved my pennies for a rainy day - that will probably be tomorrow.<br>Ok get some sleep - with 10 days to go I need to keep the battery charged. More to follow in the next few days .......<br>

I am being to think I am absolutely mad for doing this ... my bag has been re-packed no less than 10 times to find some space for a mascara and a pair of sparkly flip-flops, both of which I thought were essential items, until I remmebered that I am going to Africa and in fact fighting off bugs should really be my number one priority. So out came the sparkly flip-flops and the mascara and back in went the mossie net and deet spray!!<br ...

... I'll probably initially feel homesick when I arrive in strange surroundings, but hopefully that will soon pass.<br><br>I'm so excited ... new places, new people, the sun - a complete adventure - bring it on!<br><br>Back to reality for now, and back to organising storage, insurance, membership cancellations etc.<br><br>Ciao for now<br><br>xxx

... put a bit of a dampener on the whole experience.<br>The atmosphere was great though and it really was huge, to the point where they errect a whole rollercoaster just for the 4 days that the fair runs. <br> <br><br>On Saturday, we bussed the half-hour from Ilkeston to Nottingham and spent the afternoon visiting Robin Hood's town. Due to a festival being held within the castle grounds, we didn't go in but we walked around the outer wall of the ...

However the numerous pubs, restaurants and coffee shps promised a fine time later in the day.<br><br>Finally I should note that there are many fine views as you walk back along the main road, but my spare camera battery was in the car and so I cannot share them.<br><br>Beautiful place, much closer to my home than the airport or the coast, but to be fair possibly further from your home.<br><br>I am now fired with enthusiasm to visit local towns and villages.<br><br>

... Chocolate Factory, you will understand what it is like with a shop full of kids with easy access to not only chocolate, but sweets (lollies), stuff made to look like chocolate, but isn&#8217;t such as rubbers, chocolate, T-shirts, chocolate, pyjamas, chocolate, liquorice allsorts, chocolate.........you get the message?

The thought of going economy class back home didn't exactly fill with my joy. Then lucky for me they upgraded me to Business Class again!!!!!!! This time the new business class had been implemented.

... years ago. After our stop at the Hathaway home, we headed into town to spend a couple of hours and to visit the homestead of Shakespeare himself. They have maintained the quaint look of this town very nicely. Stratford sits upon the River Avon, hence its name. It rained in the afternoon, but we were prepared and no one melted.
