Free wine, a burnt down airport and a sigh of relief After a very enjoyable flight (ie many bottles of complimentary wine) we landed in Nairobi, Kenya. For those who don´t already know, a couple of weeks before our holiday, Nairobi Airport ... Read more >

The past weekend I marked the occasion of making it through my first month as an au pair by flying across the North Sea to the land of the Poms to visit some friends. This sounds like a big deal but in reality its a mere 45 minute flight in a plane that ... Read more >

Gee we could tell these B&B houses a thing or two.  What is it with showers!  At Rogers we had to run around in the shower to get wet, so we both postponed our hair washing day until this morning.  Well this morning the shower went ... Read more >

Last night we burned the midnight oil talking to Roger our B&B host.  He's only had the hotel for six weeks.  He bought it at auction in a slightly run down condition.  The prevous owners had it full of clutter and didn't even bother ... Read more >

A bit of a nothing day today.  Weather has been cold and wet and the countryside we  have travelled through has been flat and featureless.  Towns fairly ordinary.  Lots of trucks on the road today.  Mostly heading north in the ... Read more >

One thing I noticed yesterday, and forgot to comment on, was the appearance of the ubiquitous green landrover.  We have seen quite a lot of them on the roads in the past couple of days, driven by ye ole farmer. We spent all of today in the old ... Read more >

Internet connection is poor in our current B & B so this will be short and sweet.  Yesterday the weather packed in, although not as badly as predicted.  We ended up doing a lot of driving which has got us just south of York in a small town ... Read more >

We had a brief tour of Burnham-on-Sea just out from Highbridge.  Essentially, to get a decent map of the UK so as to make Janices navigation easier.  Tide was out, a long way, and many small boats were high and dry on the sand.  The beach ... Read more >

The Cornish mizzle turned into a steady rain during the day.  Our only stop of note was in Tintagel.  The castle there is where the legend of King Arthur was born and perpetuated by successive generations of monks who seemed to like spending ... Read more >
