London Day 11

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [280]

We'd decided that today was the day to introduce Wendy to our excellent train navigation skills and to head out to Hampton Court Palace to have a look around. I'd been there before and it was one of the best set up Palaces that I'd remembered. So off ... Read more >

London Day 10

Fri, 9 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [236]

Another later start to the morning- just because we can and the holiday feeling has really taken hold. We also knew we would be out late tonight- so didn't want to end up with too much time to whittle away at the end of the day. First stop ... Read more >

London Day 9

Thu, 8 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [220]

Our first day with Wendy on holidays too- yay! A bit of a late start leaving the flat after a late night at work for Wendy and a couple of Skype calls home to check in with the family. It's unbelievable that I've now been away for them for so long- they ... Read more >

London Day 8

Wed, 7 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [256]

Walk-bus-walk-train-train-tour bus-walk-tour bus-walk-tour bus-train-train-walk-bus-walk.................... Otherwise known as a day out seeing Stonehenge, Salisbury and Old Sarum- heaps of fun but lots of travelling as you can see. Amazingly we ... Read more >

More London Weekend

Mon, 5 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [274]

Up early to get going to our booked movie tickets. Raining pretty hard outside- hoods up on jackets and taxi catching rather than walking weather. Arrived at the theatre for the 'Scene' experience- though the staff didn't seem to think they were open ... Read more >

London Weekend

Mon, 5 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [239]

It's the weekend- and I slept in !! Completely unheard of usually. It must be the cold weather, the travelling and all the exercise we're doing. Or maybe just taking the opportunities as they arise!! Had a lovely chat to Andrew on the phone but had ... Read more >

London Day 5

Mon, 5 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [314]

Up and away early today as we had further to travel than some other days. We'd had a quick tutorial from Wendy on catching the bus to the station last night- but we were obviously not very good students. Another morning of going the wrong way (but this ... Read more >

London Day 4

Sat, 3 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [227]

It's very tempting to gloss over our morning and just start this entry from after lunch time....but surely some of the best things about travel are the things you learn from your mistakes. In which case I better jot down our comedy of errors of ... Read more >

London Day 3

Fri, 2 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [236]

A much slower and later start to the day today- by the time we'd put in a couple of Skype calls to check how Ethie went on his first school orientation and to show Mum & Dad that the new powercord really does work (and to have a lovely chat), ... Read more >

London Day 2

Fri, 2 Nov 2012 | By sjgordo22 | Views [282]

Starting to feel better- especially after a cosy night's sleep. Headed out again with the intrepid Jacqui, ready to conquer the second half of our self guided tour. Very hard to tell on paper just how much ground you will cover- a lot as we would discover ... Read more >

Day 2 of the Harry Potter tour today - yesterday was a bit of a marathon and suspect today will be similiar but keen to keep journeying. First stop Temple underground as to our delight somebody asked us for directions here (and we totally could help ... Read more >
