April 10, 2011 - Rosslyn Chapel

Had a wonderful time last night at dinner with Jane and Roger's friend Brennan, his collegue, Natasha from Russia, and his son Gordon. Brennan is in his 80's and was a soil scientist and professor who spent many years in Africa. Natasha was once a student of his and was here to present at a...

Another beautiful Spring day here. Worked in the not-for-profit grocery store that Roger runs out of the House this morning. Everything sold is organic and all produce, milk, cheeses, eggs, etc. are locally made or grown. I priced products and stocked shelves before the store opened (hours...

Friday April 8, 2011, Valleyfield House

Made it to my first stop. WooHoo!! Missed my connecting flight yesterday in Dublin and had to wait 7 hours for the next one. I made that flight, my backpack did not...but it worked out okay because I didn't have to carry 55lbs on my back while catching buses to Penicuik (pronounced...

When lovely midnight strolls turn into '101 ways to freak Brigid out'...

So, I decided to go for a walk. Disregarding the obvious lack of light, Andy's warning about the dangerous Hertford canal route, and my overstuffed stomach (a day at a free Excel food event and a brother who orders pizza on your staff discount can do that to you), I set forth into the night....

Follow your gut and hope your feet don't trip you up

One month till D-day. I can barely go five minutes without getting excited about it. Everyone around me is getting sick of my constant 'CouchSurfing, so amazing, staying here and here and there and travelling with this guy and meeting them there and have to see this and that and, have I...

CHAPTER ONE: Because I was bored

My name is of no significance. However, for the sake of this story, I suppose I'd better tell you. It's Brigid. Now, as far as names go, it could have been a lot worse. And it's fairly uncommon too. I share it with a Celtic goddess, a saint and my aunt, so I'm pretty much okay with it. This...

Got the travel-bug

I spent today wandering around Caernarfan, particularly the castle. Really, really awesome. Massive, with loads of stairs and towers and stunning views of the countryside, the river and the Ocean. One Welsh curator spent ages chatting to me about [[South-Africa]] (he found it very fascinating),...

Cara Cymru (I love Wales)

Wales is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. And the people are one of a kind as well. The train ride in from Manchester took me past lakes and sheep-dotted fields, beside mountains and through villages, and the only downside was that I had several changes to make at stations that were extremely...

Marco?

And as explorers we set forth into the Wilderness: Joe, armed with his rectangular gadget of magic and wonder, and me, clad in my husky hat and with pockets filled with essential necessities for a night in the wild (cellphone, wallet, camera and torch). Sacrificing a night of leisure and...
