Hello everyone!<br><br>First of all I would like to say a very very big thank you to everyone at Colsterworth School for my card! I loved the book with all my goodbye messages. I will be looking after Frederick and making sure he has a good time with me ...

ARGH!<br><br>My brain can't actually handle the magnitude of this whole trip! Keep having flashes of reality that I'm literally going to be on the other side of the world in about 30ish hours! That aside I think I'm quite excited; tho sitting around waiting for time to pass and for me to be sat on the plane isn't really conducive to a thrilling environment! <br><br>I'm so glad that I ...

Started way back in Feb of this year when 6 of us all agreed to go to richard's and johanee's wedding and at the same time visit South Afica and take in England against SA at cricket. Sadly having returned to SA Johanee decided to call off the wedding in September.<br>We decided to press ahead and Johanee has been great helping out with hotels and cars. Last week was the big planning ...

... of us.<br><br>I can hear the steam beginning to fizzle in Shaun&#8217;s ears and the blood beginning to boil as this crazy foolish driver (who actually turns out to be a middle aged woman) just sits there in the outside lane doing about 60. All of a sudden the penny drops and she goes to pull in to the middle lane; unfortunately for her she chooses to pull in at the precise time when the ****ing great artic lorry which was coming up ...

... news of the day through the tired foggy hole between my ears.<br><br>It&#8217;s 7:50 am and I&#8217;m sat almost alone on a train from Doncaster to Leeds. The train&#8217;s had better days, and so have I. It sways and creaks and leans at strange angles and most of its seats are falling apart. There&#8217;s a guy sitting 2 seats in front of me that gets up and leaves the train leaving ...

... yesterday it reminded us of the hilly streets of San Francisco. The Lake District was beautiful today and we had a full day of touring. Almost every day we leave our accommodations by 9:00 AM and don&#8217;t get to the next location until 5:30 or 6:00 PM. They are long full days of sight seeing and Gordon has been wonderful to us. He usually drops us off and we get settled ...

... from then on out I knew it might be a bit of a struggle. As my roommates and I met up with a few of our friends in the hallway, we scurried down the stairs to the Long Gallery to sit in an hour lecture given by Dr. Bujak, the vice principal of our school. Just as I was about to save a seat next to me for one of the other slackers who woke up late, (my friend ...

It's a lovely town and everyone comes to shop on a sunny Saturday. They all have their favorite places and the river is so pretty but I'm tired of writing about churches for a little while.<br>Look at Philip's pictures of this gorgeous, full on English Gothic perfection.

... Tenterden in Kent (which caused much excitement in the house) before the finishing at Canterbury with our own Roddy McEwin coming in FIRST having overtaken 150 other riders in the last mile and a half - what a result! and what a great end to our day in Lincoln. We left at 4pm and had a great drive back to Solihull - mostly in sunshine but hit some heavy rain ...

... a muslim airline) but I had no complaints - the service was good, good meals, including the vegetarian option, and no delays. But more about that later. I pre-booked my rail pass through Trailfinders - they offered me the same price as the net and would do all the hard work for me - or so I thought. I opted for the 30 day Eastern USA Rail Pass (costing about &#8356;280) - it would allow me unlimited travel in the whole of the east coast of America - to ...
