party time

I got to hang out with Nan and Grandad this afternoon and they put me to bed as M&D went out to meet some of their old London buddies! I'll let them tell you about their night out: We met friends we worked with at House of Fraser, Lorna and Jo, in Barking. After a couple of pints at the...

Northern Ireland - sans troubles

We discovered the bad part of leaving it until the night before to book flights - they were double the price - still very reasonable though. The bus into the city from the airport was pretty interesting, we sat next to a genial Irish man who had been partaking in a wee bit of the whiskey me...

Quaint, Quaint, Quaint

After packing all our stuff we headed off to catch a tube to Paddington for the train to Cheltenham Spa in the morning. Unfortunately, the tubes were all a bit late and we missed our train!! whoopsie..... We were visiting friends that M&D met when they were in India. James and...

Catching Up

Due to the lack of internet resources and time that I've had available, I've been a bit slack, so I'll try to catch you up. We stayed in Edinburgh for three nights and I must say it is a beautiful city. We took our car up north around a couple of breathtaking Lochs (finding a fantastic park...

London Baby

We had a BIG day today - hanging out with my big cousin, Hayden. It was great to see him again - once we found him!! We met in the streets around Liverpool Street - luckily he had GPS on his phone... We caught a bus that took us around all the sights of London - and we sat upstairs - my...

Hammer time

Well, the buffet was everything I expected and it was great to catch up with all the family at Nan and Grandads. I LOVE it here - there are photo's of me and my cousins EVERYWHERE! I really do feel quite special. We all chilled out all day today, chatted and everyone drank loads of tea! ...

Final Countdown

So little time left and still loads to do! I've had enough of embassies and consulates. Yesterday I drove to Edinburgh, running rather late for my visa appointment, and the lorry driver in front of me once I'd hit the city traffic was blasting out Europe's "The Final Countdown" as we crawled...

Franklin fun

Well, it's been a great week catching up with all Dad's fandamly - and getting in this time zone! We've been staying at Aunty Dawn's in Brentwood, Essex and I've been hanging out with my cousin Eva a lot. Unfortunately she's been a bit sick, but looks like she's on the mend now. We've...

No soccer hooligans sighted

We got to Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday and had a look around, finding a good pub to eat at and a good pub to drink at. The closest hostel was about eight mile or so out of town, so we booked into a B&B.This started a disturbing trend, as hostels only exist in the summer in many medium sized...

Welcoom to Scootland!

We stayed in Carlisle, nice and close to Hadrian's Wall, again having to resort to a B&B for shelter. The lady who ran it was really nice and cooked a mean brekky. Unfortunately, Shelley picked up a stomach-bug somewhere and didn't get too much sleep that night. We headed off pretty slowly in...
