Moorhill House Hotel Ringwood

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 ...

... Michael's Church to help us sort and pack the boxes. You are all stars...

We can't wait to start seeing the smiling faces of people receiving your shoeboxes and we promise to keep you up to date with where we are, who we meet and the reaction your gifts receive.

Check back on Monday when the Trussell team will reach Bulgaria and start distributing your shoeboxes to men, women and children living in poverty...

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!

Hello everybody

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.

This will be my third trip to Australia, and this time I've decided to take my time and soak up the atmosphere and scenary. I'm going to sit on beaches, wile away afternoons in beachside bars, stroll through forests and explore quiet hillside and seaside towns. And most of it's going to be in a ...

... we watched a show every night except one and an English pub called the rising Sun where a pint of Boddingtons cost £2.60. Very reasonable I thought. Anyway for the first time in eleven days we were looking at rain and gloom, but by the time we got to the Railway Station is was brightening up a bit. the trip back to Scarborough and then on to Whitby was uneventful. We were home for 19:00.

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.

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

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??
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.

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 ...
