... to our other blog please let me know or alternatively you can search for shunny81 and this is the name of it. There are a few to read but it will take away the boredom on a Friday afternoon. <br><br>Hope your all well and the weather is not to bad. Just think of us when its raining having to take shelter of the 35 degree heat. <br><br>All the best <br><br>Nigel <br>

I think I ended up back in Trowbridge at the best time of the year... lol What with Halloween and Guy Fawkes night!! <br><br>I was a little exhausted when I got back. I think I was happy to be somewhere where I didn't have to literally live out of my suitcase! <br><br>While I was back, I opened a bank account and also applied for my national insurance number so I can work in the UK. It was a fairly short process because I have a British passport! I've applied ...

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 ...

... They have these cycle paths.. I did only about 5% of them so there is heaps more to discover when I go back. I also managed to do some jogging ... whew my poor old knees didn't like it all... but the scenery was so lovely. The leaves were all turning, animals were wondering around it didn't feel you were in a country of 60 million people at all.<br><br>One day I had a ride for about 3-4 hours, ended up in a small place called Fritham... I had some ...

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 ...

... former glory. Such a shame - lucky I don't have to hunt out the ones in the UK, I can just see them on the continent in a few weeks. :)<br><br>There is a nice gated entry to the cathederal gounds. I particulary like the sheep and the boot hang above the shops next door to show the illiterates what they sell. Now I konw where to get my sheeps boots ;-)<br><br>Across the road is a tudor style house, the builder must of been drunk when laying the floor for the second story.<br><br>

In mijn nieuwe autootje reed ik naar Schiphol, parkeerde ik zonder problemen op de P3 Lang Parkeren en stapte ik in de bus naar de vertrekhal. Ik was erg op tijd en kon lekker rustig aan doen. Het vliegtuig was licht vertraagd en ook grappig: geen sluis, we moesten over het vliegveld naar het vliegtuig lopen en met de trap het vliegtuig in. Zó Jacky Kennedy! Ik kwam aan op Gatwick North en vanaf South vertrok mijn trein. Na drie kwartier (!!) op mijn bagage te hebben gewacht, moest ik ...

... Waterloo Station was somewhat resemblant of the westbound journey between Central and Strathfield in Sydney; the infrastructure such as bridges, stations and signalling were all similar and the Victorian terraces resembled those situated around the Sydney suburbs of Newtown and Stanmore. We passed a number of stations as we left the city indicating that the corridors are also shared by suburban line services. On passing the last of these stations the train, which ...

Well that was a grilling I hadn't been prepared for, I should have been, but wasn't. The immigration control officer checked my notebook for a return flight, called the place I was staying and grilled me as to the purpose of my trip and why I was entering the UK. After waiting another 10 minutes (total wait time over 1 hour), she finally granted entry into the UK, but warned me that next time, if I don't have all my documents, than I can expect the same type of treatment. This ...
