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! <br><br>It was good to meet them all and we discussed the trip, what gear everyone was taking and what the weather would be like. I told them that the sun always shines up North! but I don't think ...

Two days left - still can't really believe we're going. Excited and also a bit nervous - how will we get from place to place especially around Cambodia and China?<br><br>Working our way through our final to-do list and just hoping not to have any last minute panics!!<br><br>Suppose it won't sink in until we're on the plane:)<br><br>Viv xx

<br>Well well well&#8230;Planning a trip is by no means an easy feat especially<br>when we&#8217;re talking about a country that is approximately 14 times the<br>size of the UK!<br><br>It&#8217;s turning out to be a nightmare to be honest. So much to see, so many to see&#8230;and 21 days just isn&#8217;t long enough! <br><br>Having never been there, it&#8217;s hard to understand just how big India really is. <br ...

Here we go......<br><br>I recently watched a movie called 'Julie &amp; Julia' starring Meryl<br>Streep as Julia Child and Amy Adams who plays a character called Julie<br>Powell. Julie turns 30 and has nothing interesting in her life. She<br>doesn't enjoy her job and wants to do something that she enjoys. She<br>loves cooking and is an avid fan of Julia Child who has written a<br>cookbook for servantless American women! So Julie then decides that she<br>is ...

Day: -14 Tuesday October 28th With only 2 weeks to go before I depart for my American Adventure, I still have sooo much to do! I haven't even thought about packing yet, but I have thought about what shoes and handbags to take and which ones I'm wearing in Vegas and Hollywood. It's all about black this season. Anyway, in two weeks I shall be leaving behind cold, wintery Englad in exchange for sunny California. Orange County to be precise ...

... readers think about this. Luckily, Wendy will be introducing me to quite a few of her friends and business aquaintances so I look forward to that in forming a better understanding of the English. I continue to enjoy the comforts here at the White Cottage. Wendy is absolutely fantastic in attending to my every need... sometimes it feels a bit awkward having everything done for you after having to do everything for myself but I'm definitely enjoying the very ...
