Travel day. Onwards to France. We have a Dover to Calais ferry booked for midday and are as ready as we will ever be. The rain has settled somewhat and off so we set. First […]

2014 – Day Forty Four
Well. Yesterday a local told us that England has had no rain for 3 months (they must have been panicking as their reservoirs are barely existent), but today, it pours. We are it seems, the […]
2014 – Day Forty Three
Oh so far to go to get to Dover….back on the motorways we go. Those maps where the UK looks like a mere paw print on the globe…they’re very deceptive. At least today we get […]

2014 – Day Forty

2014 – Day Thirty Nine

2014 – Day Thirty Six
Rain! Lots of rain! It’s pouring down and has been most of the night. We are near Mount Stewart house, a National Trust house and gardens which we are determined to see, rain or not. […]
