Premier Inn Ashford - Central

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

Well, I arrived down in Kent safely yesterday and have now settled in to my new home for the next couple of weeks before we set of on the trip. <br><br>I went out last night with Martyn and Jackie to get kitted out with my new biker gear! don't know about the pants but I like the ...

... 3 hours 45 mins to get to Pune(a mere 100<br>miles). This is when I start realising that possibly half of this trip<br>might be spent travelling. <br><br>But that doesn&#8217;t bother me one little bit. On the contrary, it gets me<br>more excited and anxious. I have always wanted to see India but not<br>from a Limo window or from an aircraft window.

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.

... a true Californian (minus the cute pooch in a Chloe bag) and stock up on all the basics I'll need for my trip, from fake tan to sunglasses. 3.

We had our first meet and greet with our doctor on Wednesday. We had gone in the week before to fill out the paperwork and were made an appointment for Wednesday. The waiting room was packed....a little scary. But we went right in. Our doc is very nice. He had to look up and "convert ...

... She gave us a rundown of the history of her home, including the fact that it use to be a nursery and the previous tenants trashed it with food strewn all over the doors, walls and floors. She was reluctant to buy it back in the 1970s but over the years has returned it to its natural glory. Dorothy has lived in Cornwall street since the 1970s so is an expert on the area... shared a few murder stories that have happened in the immediate area over a couple of ...
