#24 -the england chronicles wrap-up
I cannot believe I’m actually just about done. I’ve really enjoyed writing about the trip, and also enjoyed all the great comments. I think I’ve put off finishing since once it’s done…. it’s over...
england countryside #23- nottingham
The last day….waaaaahhhh!! This was Saturday, October 30. We’d decided to spend the day in Nottingham, which is only about ten miles from the marina. We’d initially thought we’d be spending a lot...
england countryside #22 – stonehenge
The last stop of the last day in Wiltshire…. waaahhhh!!! Stonehenge was, as I think I said before, much more touristy than I expected. It’s not like Avebury, where you can go wander at your leisu...
england #21 – the glastonbury tor
Could it actually be another chapter in The England Chronicles at last??? I do believe it is! And sadly there aren’t too many more to go. We’re down to Glastonbury and Stonehenge, and then the la...
england #20- the barge, another horse, marlborough
Part ten zillion, five hundred and twelve of The England Chronicles. After sadly leaving Avebury, we headed to The Barge. Baker B kept telling us we HAD to go see The Barge. The Barge is a pub o...
england #19 – avebury and more white horses
Yes, at last it’s another chapter in the England Trip Chronicles That Have No End! Oh, well, I’ve only been back for three months. No rush! And of course my titles are confusing in that they have...
england #18 – the uffington white horse
Wednesday morning we were off bright and early, hitting the Roadside Service Starbucks for our caffeine and breakfast, and onwards to see the Uffington White Horse. Baker B has done all sorts of ...
england #17 – wednesday in bath
To everyone who expressed doubt that we could see Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, a bunch of white horses, and oh, how about the Salisbury cathedral too?? All in the same day…. why, yes, we DID somewh...
england #16- we jaunt off towards wiltshire
Tuesday we didn’t get off to a very early start, partially due to a broken modem crisis. We didn’t have internet access at our London lodgings, but I’d taken the netbook with me and just carried ...
england #15 – walking around long eaton. and back.
I don’t know how I could have forgotten to include a Curly Winged Swan picture in the last entry. Before we leave the canal and go wandering around town, here’s the very pretty Curly Winged Swan ...
england #14- walking to long eaton
SO. We decided that our first Marina Day would be easy. And stress-free. We’d just hang out on the boat, take a little walk perhaps, chill out. Watch the DVD about Canal Boat Operation and determ...
england #13 – we continue to Sawley
I’ve decided to number these England Countryside entries separately from the London ones. Since the two parts of our trip were so totally separate. Maybe that will be a little less confusing. Hah...
england #12- the countryside -we head for Sawley
We bid farewell to London bright and early on Sunday Oct. 24th, to start the Next Leg of Our England Adventure. Well, we bid farewell to our hosts bright and early, and sadly, because we really d...
england # 11…. the last London Day
enter link description hereWe could not BELIEVE how the week flew by. Sadly, Kim and I set off one last time for Stratford Station, and onwards to the St. Paul’s area again, to walk over Millenn...
england #10 – could it be near the end???
Of the London Tales, at least? So we can move on to the countryside?? Maybe! Of course I’m having Internet Issues tonight and suddenly it seems to be flickering on and off, so this may be waiting...
england #9
I REALLY need to quit dilly-dallying around and FINISH MY TRAVELOGUE. Or whatever this is. Because it’s gone on forEVER and soon it will be Christmas (I’m finding that even harder to believe than...
england #8- brought to you by the letter kew
But first…. Yeah. And it’s getting much worse before it gets better. We are experiencing an Arctic Oscillation, apparently. I have no idea what that means. But it’s not good. We’ve probably g...
england # 7- victoooooooria, victooooooria….
You should really play this while viewing the pictures of Buckingham Palace and vicinity, to get the full effect: It certainly was playing in MY head the entire time! We set off bright and early...
england #6-is it really true there are elephants..
…and lions too in Piccadilly Circus? Well, no, there are not. At least not that I saw. But Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square and Soho etc etc etc were, of course, just as fantastic as all t...
england #5, and a ferry ride to greenwich
After the London Eye, we took advantage of another London Pass Attraction, and rode the City Cruise ferry to Greenwich. Since everything took about a quadrillion times longer than we expected, we...
england trip #4 – london
Yes, apparently it IS going to take me forever. Oh, well, what’s the hurry? Not much else going on – including our very quiet Thanksgiving involving me, my father, and Baker B going to Cracker Ba...
england trip #3 -london
This will be mostly pictures because I can’t seem to get around to writing real entries. If I wait till I feel like writing something, I’ll never finish. Too bad I wimped out on NoJoMoWhatever- t...
england trip #2 – london
Yes, it’s Part 2 in the Series That Will Drag On For Years! In which Edna and Kim Tour England. Part I, featuring the Suitcase From Hell, is one entry back. In this edition, we have said a tempor...
england trip #1
Why, yes, it HAS been a week since my last entry, in which I promised loads and loads of England pictures were on their way. A week in which I have done very little outside of dragging myself to ...
trying to get readjusted to the Real World
OMG. We had SUCH A GOOD TIME. And boy is it a shock to be back. I did not want to come back. I tried my best to get Baker B to pack up the cats and join me. For good. And I think he was tempted. ...
