Hi all

A busy few weeks we have had. We are up north now in Carlisle and about to start heading east before going south again. Villages are still holding me up as I can't not stop with out having a walk around them.

Weather still being kind to us.

Cheers

I just spent a lovely couple of hours with Ingrid and her husband, in Norwich, we chatted away as if we had known each other for years. They are a lovely couple and are enjoying all the different places they visit in England.

Soon they will be heading down south again via Kent way after taking a quick look at some more of our beaches and seaside towns on the Norfolk coast (Lowestoft is one destination) so if anyone else wants to meet our Aussie friends, get in touch with Ingrid by pm

Happy travelling folks, so nice to meet with you

Thanks Liz was lovely to meet you today, it was like meeting up with an old friend wasn't it very relaxing, pity we got kicked out of the store as they wanted to go home lol. Looking forward to more exploring in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again Liz for a wonderful afternoon xx

Cheers

Ingrid, you are so lucky to meet Liz. I would love to meet her, but unless I win lotto it is not likely to happen. :-(

Huia.

Did you get to the Norfolk coast again Ingrid? Rather windy here yesterday but dry at the mo.

Have lots of fun on your travels and tell G. to make sure he puts sunscreen on his head next time the sun comes out lol

I have a big thank you to say to Huia and Persie, will start a new thread so they don't miss it, naughty girls that they are.

Lovely to meet up with you Ingrid.
Sorry we couldn't offer you better weather, but at least we didn't get wet even though we were windswept....and how!

It was so nice to chat with you both and we really enjoyed meeting up.
Did you meet 'the King' ?

Enjoy the rest of your UK tour

Was lovely meeting you too Gwyn. We did meet the King, Queen and entourage and quickly escaped when it was the beloved Henry VIII, wanted to keep our heads lol. We got lost in the Castle and dungeons for quite a few hours, thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
Off to The Battle today so in a way glad its not to hot lots of walking to do again.At least for now the wind is quiet.

Thanks Again

Thanks Liz & Gwyn

Did the Battle Grounds yesterday and learnt so much more than I already knew. Then took hubby off across the countryside to Catsfield, Burwash & TicehurstSussex, looking in grave/church yards for long gone relatives,in the rain, didn't find any but then again alot of the headstones are unreadable. Was lovely though seeing the country that my ancestors came from. Heading back Bristol way today to see the cousins again before we spend our last week in London, only 9 days left of a wonderful trip. I will be back again to see the rest hopefully very soon.

Cheers
Ingrid xx
