I had to take Pete for a spin so I decided to visit Wincester, one of the oldest towns in England. Was setup as Englands capital at one stage and was pretty important place when England became a country, ie united under King Alfred around 7th century..

It did have a castle on the hill but all that is left are the foundation stones. The hall is still there with ...

The title is the most awful joke in the world so blame my sisters for thinking of that and keeping it in my head!

OK so tomorrow is my big day. No im not getting married, im going away to India....to travel. As you guys already know (because i haven't stopped talking about it since April!) im starting off in Goa for 3 months doing a project teaching kids on a ...

... out there) we had a great time. The girls ground out a win, the hotel was amazing, and we were very well looked after by all the locals we came across. That's the sort of trip we wouldn't swap for anything and would happily repeat again.

Until the next random visit to somewhere in the world for a football game...
Big love

(ps thought we'd share some of photos with you, as it felt a bit odd writing plain blogs!)

Booked flight today - Guatemala on Feb 22nd 2010. So to mark the occasion I thought I'd start my travel diary today as well.

Two months to go - and a lot of list-making, planning, shopping, getting vaccinated, freaking out, and bouncing with excitement to do!

... time, but since I needed one or two more warm things for China, I headed to Oxford St and did a lot more window shopping than actual buying. In the evening I boarded a train for Petersfield, in Hampshire, in southern England, and was enthusiastically greeted by good friend Zoe. She has just bought a house with boyfriend Hugh, and it was exciting to see it, meet their new chickens, and catch up on the past few months since the last time I saw them in Aus. On Friday (yesterday), Zoe was ...

... to our other blog please let me know or alternatively you can search for shunny81 and this is the name of it. There are a few to read but it will take away the boredom on a Friday afternoon.

Hope your all well and the weather is not to bad. Just think of us when its raining having to take shelter of the 35 degree heat.

All the best

... 1920's style, special. The marina there is, well, I suppose some would find it beautiful, to me it is even worse than Eastbourne, very very expensive, great parking lot (I feel like near an airport!), a "walk of fame", on one side all kind of cafés and restaurants, on the other side the yachts. Lots of showing off, beeerkk.
Back in Shoreham by sea we find a nice tapas bar and enjoy a good glass of ...

... seen each other only a month ago! But in fact it has been over 8 years since we last saw each other and 9 years since we studied together at Derby University! Great times we had! In Chichester, the village south of London (or in fact a city as is had a Cathedral!), I spend a few days with her and her soon to be husband Thomas in their lovely old house. Annoyingly enough I spend most of the weekend on the toilet and in bed as my ...

... a map and some trousers with side pockets. A very successful day so far in Farnborough. Towards my grammar school next which I discovered had been renamed as a 'sixth form school' which as the name indicates is for sixth formers only...boys and girls. We found the football club but the team was playing away that day. The club bar was practically empty but we bought an ale and chatted to an old timer and the barmaid/lady. She let me into the ...

... we both passed; I need to do my safety boat course in Porto Heli to validate the qualification but Andy is ready to go to teach on keelboats.

t now looks like we're flying to Greece on Friday 14th, returning some time late October.


sorry we haven't managed to see some of you (come and see us) and please keep in touch!

love from Keelboat Instructor Andy and Senior Instructor-in-waiting Helen
