The Falcon Hotel Taunton

Well 7 weeks to GO!!!!


June is still busy buying clothes can't keep her out the shops. We are busy trying to set up all the systems we need in place and staff what they need to do in our absence.

Great finding so many people interested in what we will be doing and where we are travelling to.

Just want to get Junes problem sorted at the hospital they are messing us about. Got heavy with them today.

Watch out for the next update.

... long one of 11 hours. At Paris I had to go through customs again and once again all my loose bits had to come off including my belt and shoes (such a pain). As I was taking off my belt an old lady, who stood behind me, asked "how are you gonna hold up your trousers now?" Wouldn't she like to know ;-)
Then as I boarded the plane and got to my window seat I discovered a chubby bearded Mormon guy (yes u can spot them a mile away) sitting in my seat. So I had to debate whether it worth ...

... but i dont want to
spend to much money and also want to learn to travel about the Island
on public transport!!



Getting a bit nervous about flying though cuz last time i went on a
plane the turbalance was so bad that some people were sick and crying
and even the cabin crew got scared. Right Adiois Amegos here i come
Gran Canaria **SUNSHINE** :-D

... a lot to see when your on them.

So we decided on a next stop as Lyme Regis on the South Coast to break up our journey back to London. It's a nice place at the start of the Jurassic Coast which we did not have time to explore. Kim impressively went for a morning run even though it was rainy and windy and I stayed tucked up in bed!

So after driving for a bit after leaving Stonehenge and we though it was time to something else. so when we saw a tourist sign to Stourhead we decided to follow it even though we had no idea what it was.

WOW!! These gardens are lurvely. If you get a chance you gotta come here.

Now I wish we had followed the earlier sign to Drogo Castle - found out latter that would have been pretty nice too.

Had a load of forms today from P and O they want another £300 for visas for entering the waters of AUSTRALIA INDIA AND USA even if you don't get of the ship. They don't mention this till one has paid. Is there anywhere special on the route that anyone would like a postcard from do tell us and we will put it on the list

... totally fogged in and the boat was ****** and full of punk school children or really old people....

my whole route to get to the farm was totally unplanned, and i left later than i was hoping for anyways as i stayed in bed until 10am and then spend half the morning looking for my thermarest mattress with no such luck... i will have to get it from arno another time.

Caught the Train from Reading to Crewkerne, where Nikki and Steve picked me up, we drove thru some quaint villages to their place in Ilminster, a really pretty village. Saturday morning we woke for what was to be an epic journey across the Salisbury planes. We drove thru Wells and Glastonbury, with no time to stop, but got to appreciate the beauty of the Somerset countryside anyway, over to ...

... swathed with the captivating flowers and ravishing bushes that surrounded our living beings. (I know my teacher will give me extra points for that!) After we'd done our journey through the beauty of this garden of Eden (she might like that, too), we went into the Park. The first thing we decided on doing was going into the Longest Hedge Maze in the world. We went in and, after the first five minutes, we got lost but somehow found our way back to the ...
