The Carriage House Hotel Bedfordshire

Greetings, Cherubs.

It is now day 6 in sunny England, and I am staying with my aunt at Henham. For those of you who don't know where that is, the nearest major town is Bishop’s Stortford. Glad to have cleared that up…

It is a rambling old farm house, and when I say rambling, I mean it in every possible application of the word. The house itself is a little lopsided, and has corridors that seem to loop on themselves, go nowhere, or trip one over with sudden ...

... now in Northampton, tomorrow we leave for Dover, and on Friday morning we board the ferry for France. Hurrah! If all goes according to plan :-) We'll let you know how we get on of course.

Having got our hands back on everything we own, we're now able to upload some pictures we took of our time in Norfolk, in case anyone fancies a look. They're below.

Hopefully the next entry will come from France, please cross fingers for us.

Laid over in "London" for two days, stuck in the airport hotel, jet lagged, had to spend half the day re-arranging my trip and communicating changes to our partners in Armenia. So, only a few hours of daylight left, I decide to hike the 1.75 miles to the airport, to get a soda and ...

... we prepared a lunch for the pic-nic and stopped at a local store where we bought some kurdish bread, tatziki and humous to some un-smiling cashier girl before moving to Finnsbury park and await the people to come over. People showed up slightly late but there was new members (from HC - CS) which was nice, but I didn't introduce myself to many of them. We chilled in the park the whole afternoon, eating and playing frisbee and doing silly stuff (which is especially after Flohfish and ...

... return! It's weird to think though that over the next two months we'll only be able to see each other sporadically. We don't have the same exam schedules. We'll be headed back home at different times. Soon we'll all be going our separate ways. It's really amazing how close you can get to people in such a short time!

Well it's not snowing anymore here but it's still damn cold by my standards. Today it only got up to 7 degrees outside. We were driving around a lot today and we had the heat up to 21 degrees in the car. I remember having that as the COLD temperature on the air conditioning at home, but here it's seen as really warm! Yesterday, Daph and i went to a place called Waddesdon Manor. It's this massive house with even bigger grounds and gardens ...

... class. Back in my flat we enjoyed the wonders of Budgen's baguettes and other yummy things, grabbed Chinese take-away and spent the rest of the night figuring out plans for the rest of the week. Ooo, and for Harry Potter fans, you know how they always eat Treacle Tart? Well, we figured we had to try it. Highly recommend! Just don't eat the entire thing...

... management jobs, and thought I was well organised, but this journey is taking over my life....it better be worth it !! how do you get enough stuff to take in a normal size rucksack ? any constructive suggestions would be appreciated. The time seems to be slowing down the closer we get to the day we leave....why is that !

... without while she is on the other side of the world becoming cultured. The reason I am writing this is so that when Sarah (and Manda and Carly and every other bugger) is in on Bondi Beach or a hut in Tahaiti, no doubt bored to tears with the beautiful scenery, fabulous beaches, bargainous food, incredible sights and sounds, glorious sunshine and general wonderfulness of her surroundings - she can log onto MY travelogue and remember the day-to-day ...

Arrived in London yesterday. Staying in Clapham with John. Been down here many times in the past so same old same old. Had a few drinks in Fulham last night & today so far have been in to Leicester Square and watched INSIDE MAN at the flicks. Not a bad movie. Some of it was pretty funny & Clive Owen gave another good performance. Pretty shattered from last night and struggled to give it my full attention. Emailed ...
