Another new mate

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

Who’s got the cheese? – Cheddar Gorge

Carleen — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:32:12 +0000

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 to perfection. Wells Cathedral was pretty good too. My favourite bit was the wonky staircase.

Riding the bus – London

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) and the museum. Too many people in London if you ask me.

A day at Kew – London

My castle in Chepstow doesn’t have any gardens. They seem to like gardens here in London. They are big enough anyway. Nice for a day out but I wouldn’t want to look after them. Too much work.

Castles and rain in Wales

Carleen — Mon, 26 May 2008 20:38:36 +0000

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

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

Carleen — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:42:17 +0000

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

Carleen — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:31:43 +0000

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?
