... informando.

After 6 years sharing our lives in this small town in Somerset, finally we left the country to return to Spain. But as you can see, there won“t be a direct flight, we will deviate a little, and let's go around the world in 60 days. We will keep reporting

... had lunch of crab sanwiches just off the Cobb and a walk along to find to our dismay a couple of mad Pommees actually swimming in the sea!! Unbelievable.

Back through Dorchester to have a look at Prince Charles pet product at Poundberry, a "modern" development that looks like a prison and promises to be a blight on the landscape as a slum in 50 years time. Back home through the fog and out in the evening to be ...

... then fine, but I allowed 6 weeks and I am half way into that.
Maybee will have to have some work on her when I get back as so many things have either worked loose, broken or about to break.
swells have been the main problem the seas have been rather large around these shores and quite different to the solent, also distances, the shortest being 9 miles, apart from that the legs have ...

... was an accident as the sail caught the wind, large amount of laughing, lets go to the pub and sort this out later ...so we did
little did UI know I would be there 4 days.in that time Dave and cloe tried to get out and go for the bill only to turn back as it was so rough, leave the bandit and come back with a trailer two days later.
after sorting my self out and 1 night on the pontoon I was not staying there again with the idea of bad weather hitting WB, so ...

... designed to have visitors just the local 30 boats including the fishermen.

well thats all apart from also the fact vthe iphone less than 4 days old has packed up, the touch screen isnt touching, and no the lock isnyt on , you touch the screen it thinks about it like the HAL 2000 and then reacts, but sometimes it dosent do that , so its back to a basic model I think, probably two bake bean tins and a piece of string would give better results.

... erectors Karen & Eric who we had meet through Karen's support website Behind the Gray not even a year ago and oh how glad we were to know them and have them come visit, we would never have managed to get it up on our own, it would probably be at some refuse tip now!! So a huge "BIG THANK YOU" to Karen & Eric. To say the weather was bad would be a bit of an understatement but it was typical bank holiday weather rain rain and wind and yet ...

... t envisaging the carnet costing £600 and insurance £400 plus what we will have to pay on the way. Bus parts are not cheap either. John organised a skittles night at the Lugger last night. Not a huge turnout, but still an extra £56. It was further boosted by the landlord, John, throwing in some money he had collected previously. I was a bit gobsmacked when he produced £390. It certainly made the skittles evening ...

I was woken up last Thursday at 1pm (I had been on nights) by a phone call. In my groggy state, I picked up the word 'headmaster' and 'school'. After shaking my head and getting him to repeat the message, I found I was being offered 100 rugby shirts by the headmaster of St Osmunds School in Dorchester. Wow, good stuff ! Once I was up, I decided to try my hand at internet scrounging. I sent an e-mail to Gilberts, the ...

... Handed in my ONP book and sat the test. Was happy to discover I passed 42/50 and I am now able to register as a nurse in the UK! I am so proud with how much I have acomplished in the last month. Treated myself to dinner at Pinochio's Italian, like the one back home in Randwick. Expenses: 85.60GBP lunch, dinner and souvenirs, including hoodie

... and return via
Netherlands. Unfortunately the Grimsel and Furka, even in mid June were
both still blocked by snow and we had to detour to Montigny and thence
over the St Bernard Pass and down to Aolta.
Of that whole journey, which I will one day, if time permits relate to you, we were
