... 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...

Hello,

Basically just testing to see if this works, and also cos Rhys told me to do this now. Also, I wanted Alton to appear as a little dot on our map thing. Anyways, we're off on sunday, looking forward to it, and I'm sure we'll miss you all! Bye for now!

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!

... in front of a jury, and the judge will just ask for the file, and then may ask for the lawyers to make oral statements about important points or to answer any questions that arise from the written arguments. A judgment will then be provided a week or so later. Everything in the court itself moves much more quickly, but I think the paper trail is fairly long and tedious. In addition, there is a prosecutor present for every case involving the state, not just criminal cases, and he or ...

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. If any of you are interested in our travels I can add your email ...

... 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

... up in about 4 months - Thanks Gill and Hayden!!!

10am and were having brunch at the Pavillion with said friends and almost birthday girl Emily at Victoria Park in Mile End - Lovely park and great organic food. Highly recommended.
Kim and I used to run around this park while training for our 1/2 marathons so it is a somber fairwell.

3pm back at the flat to hand the keys back to the ...

... quarter of an hour. At the top of Water Street is the Steamhouse Brewery. We decided to stop for a drink and a bite to eat. The food was good value and plentiful and the beer from the micro brewery was exceptional. One slight downside to this area is the number of homeless people begging for money while you eat. After dinner and one or two beers, we headed back to the hotel at around 20:00 local time or 04:00 London time, for some much earnt sleep!

... is something to be desired! The real panick stations has certainly set in with all of us now, the fact that we are actually, going, taking on the great unknown for the very first time, oh well nothing like diving in at the deep end straight away! We now have our leaving party on the 17th so hope everyone can make it. Well we will post one more entry hopefully on the day we leave. Hope everyone is well Ross Ben Bronwen

... little shocking. Overall, I would say that Winchester is a beautiful little town perfect for one day's stay. It is a little frustrating that most of the attractions in the town close by 4 PM, but it forces one to be more efficient and maximize one's tourism potential. Tomorrow I plan on staying in London and touring the upscale, chic areas of Kensington, Knightsbridge, and Chelsea. Perhaps I will write a little on these areas tomorrow. Until then, take care. Happy Trails, Jayanth
