There’s no denying it. We’re in the final stage of this year’s journey. It’s the final pivot point, where we turn to start the trek west to Cornwall, to winter the motorhome before we head […]
Month: September 2019
2019 Day 126 – Churchill War Rooms
With a relatively simply agenda, we have a welcome, slightly later start to the day. There are only three things to achieve – the fulfilment of a wish, lunch and a visit to the Winston […]
2019 Day 125 – Houses of Parliament
It’s quite extraordinary how many things there are to see in London when you’re not feeding squirrels on a daily basis. Meanwhile, I’ll probably be on a squirrel black list somewhere, shunned for neglect of […]
2019 Day 124 – London Meanderings
With our freshly minted book on the UK to hand, we’re trying to explore parts of London yet unseen. I will confess to a well ingrained habit here, of shopping + squirrelling = whole days […]
2019 Day 123 – Victoria and Albert Museum
London! We’re back! In an unexpected twist, we’ll manage two London visits in one trip. Nothing to complain about there. It’s officially the first day of Autumn too, but far from forecast rain, the skies […]
2019 Day 122 – Lesnes Abbey
Well they said it would rain and it does. A polite drizzle at first, all the way through to thunderingly fat drops and everything in between. Much of the UK is on severe storm warnings. […]
2019 Day 121 – Fixed, finally!
Right. Up early. I love that so much. I jest, of course. Early mornings are an anathema to me. Boo! Hiss! There’d better be coffee before my feet hit the floor! Luckily, there is, Himself […]
2019 Day 120 – Bourton-on-the-Water
We’re a day late, but we’re here! Having been charmed by Burford yesterday, Bourton-on-the-Water is a mere 12 miles away through one green corridor after the other. I suspect it would take weeks, possibly even […]
2019 Day 119 – Burford (Cotswolds)
I did mention, didn’t I, that we’re having particular success on this trip, in visiting places that have foiled us the past. Perhaps it’s a little more experience under our belts, perhaps it’s the availabilty […]
2019 Day 118 – Buscot Park
In a fabulously good bit of timing, we’re in Oxfordshire when both the house and grounds of Buscot Park happen to be open. Despite it being a National Trust property, Buscot Park is still very […]
