Milford Hall Classic Hotel Salisbury

Hello everybody <br><br>We are still alive and well. We are in Cambodia at the moment. Apoligies for not sending any travel blogs for a while. As we're are trying to do 2 blogs at the same time it has become too much to keep both of them going simultaneously, so this one has been neglected for a while. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

... old guy.. Mr Scrooge I think his name was. One place had gone all out,with a spooky entrance and a grave in the front yard. The kids had great fun, lots of lollies. One poor kid got to running around and tripped over on the road.. lollies and body parts everywhere!! <br><br>Guy Fawkes night was a good night.. cold though. The school put on a fireworks display and fireworks went off all over the town, that night, the weekend before and for about 3 days after!! lol

Bournemouth has a very funny layout.. the two main streets of the town go up both sides of the hills that lead down to the park and eventually to the famous Pier.<br><br>I was a bit down in the dumps this day.. I think because I was watching all the families and couples having some fun. It was mid term break so there were heaps of kids around and the entrance to the Pier was packed with amusements and ...

... south is also lovely with a huge Priory, which unfortunately was closed but we wondered down to the habour and saw all the yacht moored for the winter. OOh and the nasty swans.. I didn't know they hissed!! lol<br><br>Did I mention that I stayed in cowplains in Portsmouth and cowpitt lane in the New Forest.. mmmm whats this theme with all the cows??<br> Frank and Robert, Deidre's son's and their partners took me out to the Queens arms in the Forest ...

Visited this town while I was visiting my Uncle in Portsmouth. Its a lovely little place, well not little but seems about the size of Newcastle. Not that I have seen its outskirts etc.<br><br>When I arrived I went to have a look at the old wall and the old castles etc set up by Henry the VI I think. But it started to pour down so I went ...

... as part of the lower cathedral had been reserved for a wedding.<br><br> Finally, I headed up the long, winding stairs to the top of the cathedral. The stairs lead up to the cathedral&#8217;s signature dome, which features three levels: the Whispering Gallery, the Stone Gallery, and the Golden Gallery. There are 257 steps to the Whispering Gallery, another 119 steps to the Stone Gallery, and a further 152 steps to the Golden Gallery. The whispering gallery is ...

... Barbara to her church service, which is held at the Methodist Church, a Georgian style building that looks less spiritual home and more political meeting place. Inside was reassuringly familiar with light wooden pews and bright décor upon which a lovely creation tapestry formed the main focal point. The sermon today was on education but I missed most of it as I hurried out part way to take a call from mum and dad - a once a week occurrence I'm loath to miss out on even ...

... to the suns axis and the River Avon) the structure was visible. Can you imagin the strength in symbology accending and finally reaching the grounds. We made our rounds and took our pictures then sat on some nearby benches to eat our left over food; pizza we got in Notting Hill (which will only get an honorable mention, go early for the markets because once night fall it's a ghost town, borrriinng). Stonehenge is best accessed via double decker bus with a ticket you ...

... is a story of her more recent birthdays, a friend gave her a big bouquet of flowers, with a single fake flower in the middle. Also, Mrs. Hussey's cat still roams the grounds and is taken care of by the staff. I wouldn't mind volunteering her to do the cataloguing of the stuff in the house (all done by volunteers). I left the house and headed down to the Castle. I had already thought the house was amazing, could it get any better? I love the site on which the castle was built ...

... of stones were used: a red stone and a blue stone. Outside of the actual Stonehenge site (near the parking area) was a stone of each type. You could actually feel taht the blue stones were warmer than the red stones. When we left Stonehenge, we headed to Windsor Castle. We parked (£2.50 for 3 hours) and walked about 4-5 blocks to the actual castle. It is unbelievably HUGE and ostentatious!!! The ...
