Sutherland House Deal

... but after being unable to find a place to sleep in Boulogne or the internet we made our way once again back to Calais. This time we grabbed some food at a little seafood restaurant and then when we were out of ideas we went back to the campsite for another night. We were dirty but at least we had a place to sleep!
Calais gave us food and a place to stay so what else could we ask for!

... I had just determined to forget it and go to Broadstairs instead, when my stubborn side kicked in. I was going no matter how late it was.

I trotted myself down to the Canterbury bus station about noon and headed out. The trip went by fairly quickly (not quite two hours), the last 10 or 15 minutes of which were spend with eyes wide/jaw dropped. Now, don't ask me why because I'm not quite ...

... at the moment so i won't go wake him up to write anything! We hope to update this blog as often as we can, but just don't know how often that will be yet, but please don't worry if we don't update in a while, it just means we are out on safari in the middle of nowhere!

Next job....getting on a plane! Starting to get a bit nervous....should be alright after take-off though (fingers crossed).

Will miss you all. xxxxxxxxxx

... When I look at an A4 India map (which for some reason doesn’t have a
scale on it!!), it all looks pretty simple and close together. For
instance, Pune only seems like a stone’s throw away from Mumbai and yet
apparently takes over two and a half hours to get there. After a little
research, I manage to find train times and found that the ‘2124 Deccan
Queen’ from Mumbai CST ...

... to cook 560 odd recipes from Julias book in 1 year(365 days)
and will blog about her progress.

I've always thought about blogging and sharing my experiences with
people out there but have never got round to it. This movie has somehow
convinced me to start one! (and you too Vishal!!) and what more than to start blogging about
my journey to India!(Exactly 2 weeks from now, I'll be flying out to
Mumbai!...for the very first time!)

We set off to France today for a new period in our life in Europe.
Work still chugs on, but with only 12 shifts in 42, we have plenty of time to ourselves.
We decided those "spare" 30 days should be spent in Europe.

I'll skip over the months of research and prep work and bring us up to today where we are now on the 4pm ferry instead of the 2pm ...

Of the many pieced recovered were several game boards with small stone playing pieces. These looked just like the stone I had picked up. I took ...

I have also seen several other types of birds I cannot identify. Need a book... Oh, and we have a few cats that turn up in our yard occasionally. The Weather: Now this is a topic that is mystifying. We have seen the clouds moving in every possible direction since we arrived. North ...

We w**e told that we would be given a sprig of mint to hold und** our noses at the entrance to reduce the nausea, but none was forthcoming. No matt** what you did, you could not avoid the smell and if you tried just breathing through your mouth you could just taste it. The ...
