Grange Moor Hotel Maidstone

Well I'm getting quite excited now! last night I met Colin, Wendy, Leigh and Sarah, 3 of the team that will be riding with me. They were all really nice and Wendy had even made me a leather waistcoat but I might have to cut down on the doughnuts as it was a little snug!

It was good to meet them all and we discussed the trip, what gear ev...

Royal Free Hospital - Chowie's second job placement So finished up at UCH and have started at a new hospital called the Royal Free. It is another NHS hospital within Hampstead - apparently the area where some rich and famous live - none of which will come to this hospital. Another hospital, another new experience. There is with somewhat a little...

Sooo... I'm back from London. I don't have any pictures yet, but I thought I'd add the text part, and add pictures later when I get them. We left Friday and went to Brussels, then took the direct speed train from there to London. This is a speed train that goes under the water to get there and it took us about 2 hours to get from Brussels to Lon...

So...I started this blog entry a while ago and I wrote a lot...I was going to title it Things I've Learned So Far...but I hadn't decided for sure yet...but now that is definitely the proper title and I'll start with a list of those things: 1. Jet Lag is very tough 2. Cell phones are wonderful tools of communication 3. ALWAYS save your Blog entri...

Hello there. The opening entry to any sort of story is very much your shop window. You need to entice them in, show off your wares and to show them what else there is to come. In all honesty this isn't a really in depth, travelers blog. Because I'm not an in depth traveler. I'm just a fella who one day was bored with his life so decided to go an...

Well I've been in Staines for over a week now, and I'm settling in pretty nicely. The work isn't hard to understand once you get the hang of it, it can just be physically tiring. (And I have blisters on my feet!) Restaurant people can be weird, though. When it gets really busy they get all revved up and are more likely to yell at you. I don't un...

Jess and I started off the day with a walk through Greenwich Market to buy some food to eat in the park. We then walked to the other side of the park and saw the area with enclosed deer. We watched them for a while and spent too long trying to take a photo of jess and a squirrel! I tried to explain the Greenwich Meridian Time Line to Jess, was a...

When I booked up for Karen and I to go to London I was rather sceptical to say the least. Without ever setting foot inside the city I labelled it pretentious and wished to take no part in their booming tourism industry. However, knowing Karen was eager to visit the famous city I chose it as our destination - after looking at all other avenues. O...

About to wrap up our fourth day in London. Thought we'd post every other day but just having too much fun. We have really enjoyed ourselves so far! We have hit most of the highlights, really enjoyed the Tate Modern, The Design Museum and the Victoria & Albert! At these highlights we've seen Picasso, Savador Dali, Matisse, Mondrian, etc. Has ...

I can't even rememb** writing the travel story below. It must have been during work because it is really long! I only made it back to London once aft** this trip, and that was for only a day. I think it reminded me of Dublin too much, but I really should have made an effort. It is an amazing city. Mayfair and Park Lane done dirt cheap Of course ...
