Sunday roast (I’d give up Tom Cruise for it anyday)

We were woken by a huge down pour today, rain crashing down on the roof and lashing the window panes. It gave us quite a start but it was quite nice to watch as we lay in bed. It wasn’t really out door weather to say the least, so we relished in staying indoors and taking it easy! We had...

Naïve young ones, rude promotions girls and star trek.

A short lie in before heading to the centre of Bristol where we discovered a whole new section to the mall that we’d never seen before. This took up some of our time as we strolled along looking at all the shops and what they had to offer. We eventually found Chris a belt, which in...

Another lazy day in Bristol

I have to say that today I woke up feeling a tad homesick and unsettled. While I’m LOVING this holiday and experience I can’t help but yearn for home and the feeling of being content and settled that that brings. I’m really enjoying our adventures and the people that we’re meeting, but...

Belfast, Dublins smaller, Irish brother

We only spent two days in Belfast. We took an mid morning train from Dublin and a short 2 hours later we were there. It was such a difference being away from all the tourism. The violence in Belfast has drastically gone down in the last few years and tourists are just starting to see it as a...

Lazy day in Bristol

Not much to report today. We had a nice sleep in and chilled out morning before we thought we’d best make an attempt to get out of the house for a small bit, again it was raining so armed with our rain jackets and the lend of a couple of umbrellas we head out for a quick half hour walk where...

Back to Bristol

Up nice and early for the trip to Bristol via London. It was a nice quick trip and arrived into Bristol in the afternoon where we were picked up by Brian and brought back to our Bristol home and base. We had a lovely, relaxed afternoon where we crashed on the couch and watched copious amounts...

Sues 21st birthday…again!

Ahhh, a nice big sleep in was achieved today, and it felt GOOD! It was so nice to be able to just rest and know that we didn’t have to be anywhere at any particular time and that we didn’t need to drive anywhere unless we really wanted too, which in the end we did. It was Sue’s birthday today...

Road trip to Buntingford via Sherwood Forest

On the road again… I think Chris has had enough of driving for one week; he’s certainly done a lot of it!! After a lovely chilled out brekkie it was time to say goodbye to Barbara. She has certainly been amazing and helpful these past few days and we’ve appreciated all her help and suggestions...

Ulleswater Steam boat and Chris’ adventurous walk

We said goodbye to all our quilting friends today as they head off to their respective homes and head out to Lake Ulleswater for the day. The weather once more was looking grey but we’ve not come to expect much more and just embrace the wet. We stopped at Lake Windermere once more for...

Countdown continues as I sit at work dreaming of Asia

Time until Monday, 13 July 2009, 18:00:00 (UTC time) - 64 days Well, that's pretty much two months until we leave and neither of us have sorted our visas. Izzy is being far more organised about the whole thing but I am now back at uni so have some time to myself in which to sort it out. No...
