Travelodge Chippenham Leigh Delamere M4 East

... but the line was always out the door and along the street and you couldn't book. Still, Bath is a city full of excellent places to eat. Plus I've just booked myself in for lunch at Jamie's 15 restaurant in London on my last day in the UK, so that should be awesome!

Anyway, back to Bath. The hostel was pretty average and the showers were horrible, but I loved Bath. Teresa and I had so much fun! There are tonnes of tourist attractions, especially if ...

... church with ones we had already seen in Europe and North Africa. (I also suspect we’ll be visiting a lot of different churches in Italy, too!)

After the Saxon Church, we drove to the Tithe Barn at The Granary, still in Bradford-on-Avon. The barn, built in the mid-14th century, had really interesting arched, timber roof trusses – historically, this was very noteworthy carpentry! (They don’t build them like they used to, do they?)

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.

What an arrival

Having board the easy jet flight we were told that the wind was blowing at 50 MPH in bristol well whats new its bristol we arrive 15 minuites late after a pretty bumpy decent but smooth landing at Bristol airport

Welcome to wind and rain as the door open follow by a gale blowing accross the runway

... br>Wandering around the village we browsed numerous antique shops and a shop owned by Prince Charles, although it must have been his RDO because we didn't see him there.

The Snooty Fox, a restored hotel around 500 years old was our next home for the night. Another lovely dinner, this time Grilled Chicken, Lamb and tarty, chocalately things for "puddin" as the local lass serving us called it.

... is quite big in the UK, the shops are full of Halloween stuff and dress up clothing! Elle and I decorated the front of the house with stickers etc. Elle had done a pumpkin at school and Jane found this battery operated light that switched on and off and changed colour. You'll see some lovely photos of us dressed up.

Elle's friend had a party for the kids and then they went trick a treating.. everyone in the neighbourhood was quite good except for ...

... pub name in England, with more than 480 pubs in England bearing that name.

We got to Bath and saw the Roman baths which were very interesting, and after that we got to explore Bath on our own. We didn't have much time after taking so long at the Roman Baths, so there wasn't much we could do besides walking around the city and enjoying the architecture surrounding us. Bath is a beautiful place. I would definitely like to spend more ...

... shop next to the cafe which sold all of her preserves, and if you looked out the window, many chickens, ducks, geese, quails and fowl were running around. Her husband came up with a clutch of speckled eggs and was showing us how to tell the difference between all of them. Tonight, we head out to the local 'nightclub' where I encountered my first chavs!! A memorable experience indeed! The fourth day, we head to see the White Horse of Cherhill ...

after my last entry, I felt rather anti-social and spent my night in solitude, I was surprised because normally i would be chatting it up with the locals, maybe I was jetlagged or something. The next day, I decided to deviate from the original plan and make a daytrip to Salisbury, Bath, and Stonehenge. i sure spent a long time on the train doing this daytrip. but it was good, it gave a lot of time to reflect and really put ...

I end up on a bus with 25 women from Vietnam. The trip is somewhat taxing and suddenly it turns out that my motion sickness is back. I get some pill from one of the passengers, and by the time we reach Stonehenge I begin to feel alive again.

Stonehenge is this pile of megalitic rocks brought from Wales by the Celts, although it's just one of the countless theories about this place. It is located on a vast plain in the middle of ...
