Another new mate

Date June 27, 2008

Sharon introduced me to another Aussie, Ted. He’s not one for talking much though.

Who’s got the cheese? – Cheddar Gorge

Date June 23, 2008

With my new Aussie mates we did a tour of Cheddar and Wells. After hanging out at Steve and Carleen’s place we hit the road. Cheddar was pretty nice with a big, rocky gorge, strong Southwest accents, lots of cider and plenty of cheese. Personally I prefer a nice, soft cheese which I can flame [...]

Riding the bus – London

Date June 22, 2008

I stayed in a posh hotel in Paddington after a not so posh ride on the train. I met some new friends from Australia – Paul and Sharon. In London we rode double decker red buses and wandered the streets visiting a big church (St Pauls where my mate Sharon got told off for talking) [...]

A day at Kew – London

Date June 1, 2008

Castles and rain in Wales

Date May 26, 2008

Over the Easter weekend Steve and Carleen took me with their mate Tony for a tour around Wales. It was good to be in my homeland. We saw plenty of castles, lots of rain but no puffins.

Eden Project – St Austell

Date May 17, 2008

Huge bee hive like domes with plants inside them. Interesting to see, lots of displays, plenty of places to hide and children to scare.

Caldicot Castle – Wales

Date March 30, 2008

A sunny day means a trip to a castle. Caldicot this time. Tourists don’t seem to visit this one much. Great, more room for me.

The big stones – Wiltshire

Date March 25, 2008

Big stones in the middle of a field, lots of tourists and a pesky American bird hogging my photo. Not a bad spot really minus the tourists. Hold on – I am one. I also visited Woodhenge, which has been remade in concrete. Hmmm, what the?
