... to see if I could locate her bag and stuff... and once we found it (thankfully!) we discovered that her camera was missing.. and still is missing (along with the shoe...). We hoped to discover who this camera-shoe-werido thief was, but since Jess can't remember what happened (apparently she even got into a fight!), there is a possibility she left it somewhere herself, or donated it to a homeless person even (one nice black high heel shoe can be counted as ...

This is the first time Iv used anything like this before. I found out about it through my friend Jordan who writes a comedy sketch of a blog of his travels and I felt inspired to follow in his footsteps. Bare with me,my first blog wont be too interesting as Im just getting the hang of it. Its been a bit of a busy afternoon for me. I've started to get ...

... br><br>An hour or so later, the people who had hidden the key came back and did that annoying thing where they say "Key? Oh, it's just here!" and pluck it from a secret hiding place that we had searched half a dozen times already.<br><br>Unfortunately, Marlene had run her car off the twisty, windy track that we'd driven down last night in the dark. A full blown rescue attempt was put into action to tow it out of the position it was stuck in. Everyone put ...

... for a gentle weekend's walking. The weather did not seem to be about to comply.<br><br>The Climbing Hut was not one I had been to before. It is set about two miles off the main road down a potholed, rocky track. It took us a couple of attempts to find the right potholed, rocky track in the dark, but eventually we did. It is narrow and weaves around, zig-zagging between tight farm buildings, over ...

... stuff is planned.<br><br>Now we are starting to get an idea of which are the 'must not be missed' places along the way - we can't possibly see everywhere and experience everything but shortlisting is going to be tricky!<br> The current plan is....<br> India - Sri Lanka - Singapore - Australia - New Zealand - Fiji - Argentina - Uruguay<br> Can't wait!<br>

... Aunts house reciting my mission of being quiet under my breath. Of course, being in the drunken state that i was in (zoes fault...) I forgot to lock the door, had a 15 minute conversation with Jeffrey the Cat (I wouldnt know if he bit me again or not), tip toed up the stairs, hushed a creaking floor-board quiet, and went to sleep- probably immediately?? I woke up the next DAY around 11:30pm, right in time for lunch.. haha and then stayed at my Aunts for ...

... that Hersey's chocolate!". I personally have to agree, having become quite the connoisseur of Cadbury's (I bought a block last night that was filled with chocolate fudge). <br><br>My next main point of weekly excitement came on Wednesday night when we went down to hang out with our friends downstairs. They were all too excited when they saw that those plastic cups from American party movies really do exist. Unfortunately, long tables are themselves also nonexistent in ...

... mist, though we could hardly make out either the landmarks or the muffled commentary.<br><br>Bowness-on-Windermer e is a pretty little town with an old stone church in the centre. We took a brief wander round the church and up and down the high street. Donny did some window shopping. <br><br>Back at the shore, there was a jetty with a bird on every post. If the light had been better, it would have been a ...

... up the backbone of Weatherlam. The dried bracken was a vivid orange, broken up with jutting grey rocks. As we climbed higher, the bracken gave way to closely cropped green and yellow grass, interspersed with russet coloured reed and wet moss. The local woolly sheep grazed contentedly, barely raising their heads to look at us struggling up through their territory. The still tarns reflected the perfect blue sky and jagged rocks.<br><br ...

The Michelin Route Finder suggested the journey to the Lake District would be 3 hours and 40 minutes. I know from experience that they are generally underestimating the real time, so I banked on about four and a half to five hours of driving. I collected Donny from school and we set off straight away. <br><br>The M6 was dreadful. It was handbrake driving - on, off, on, off, on, off - we managed less than 90 ...
