Beatrix Potter and X men

When it rains it pours here in England. It was grey, dreary and wet, but we decided to make the most of it and head out towards Windermere and onto Hill Top which is the first cottage Beatrix Potter brought after her Peter Rabbit fame. Windermere is a larger sized village which is situated...

On the road again… to the Lake District

After yesterdays excitement (ha!) we thought we were entitled to a nice lie in, but unfortunately this was not to be as a long drive lay ahead of us as we made our way to the Lake District. We packed up, fixed both brekki and our lunch for the journey and head off. As we packed up the car the...

Villages, Rocky Mountains, sheep and fighter jets

With the weather not being so crash hot (or for that matter even remotely warm) we decided to hold off on doing any walks today (my knees were rejoicing I can tell you!) and instead take a bit of a drive around the villages and sights that make up Snowdonia National Park. It was gorgeous I can...

It's Brilliant....eh?

On Sunday I met Dad’s relatives and saw some relatives I had met last time we were here. We drove to Blackburn where my Dad’s cousin Janet and her family live. I finally met Miriam, she is really nice. She had just got out of the hospital so we brought her some flowers. Later Elliot, Phil and...

Roadtrip to Snowdonia

Well, after a good nights rest we packed up the car, left a big thank you note to Sue and Patrick and hit the road to Snowdonia. A five hour drive lay ahead of us, or rather, should I say Chris (remember it’s a manual car) and we were eager to make a move. The trip to Snowdonia was successful...

Audley End House and Royston Caves

What a chilly, grey day!! Rugged up and prepared with a thermos of warm coffee we made tracks to Audley End House, which isn’t too far from Sue and Patrick’s. It’s a lovely old stately home with huge gardens which members of the public are welcome to look around. Today when we arrived there...

Amber in London

Well London has been amazing but for so many more reasons than one would think. The Color women conference with my mom was great and I really enjoyed spending time with her. My other highlight was most definitly seeing my very good friend Matt who moved to London 3 years ago already. Matt was a...

Dover (South of England not South of Tassie...)

Another big day of driving and sight seeing lay ahead of us today so another bright and early start was in order. I don’t mind early starts, infact I’m more of an early bird than a night owl, but too many early starts in a row combined with not enough sleep the night before and my eyes feel...

Getting ready

Three days to go and I'm sitting here writing my first experimental blog entry. Just had some pizza, feeling full and content. The weather is moderately warm but cloudy. Did a bit of tidying earlier and thinking about having a nap. Life is hard. I have to prepare things I want to take...
