Once again we successfully embarked on our journey by 7:30 am today.  We set out on England’s M25, the major road circling London, then transitioned to the M3, and eventually, by hook or by crook, we ended up on the A30, through Salisbury. We were well on our way to making it all the wayContinue reading “Saturday – En route to Cornwall”

Well, I do owe you all a bit of an update, now, don’t I? Thursday morning, we picked up our rental car, a Vauxhall Meriva, then parked it at Molly’s while we once again traveled down to “Merry Olde London-town” by train.  The post from Thursday explains what happened that day, and the quite bizarreContinue reading “Friday – Ipswich in Suffolk”

Hello all you friends! I think I made this one in just in the nick of time, beating my promised 72 hours.  Unfortunately, for the past 2 and a half days, we’ve driven several hundred miles and have not had internet access until just now.  I had hoped to write as we drove, but ScottContinue reading “Interlude”

Hello faithful reader(s)! Scott and I had another long day, and so once again, YOU are getting cheated.  If you haven’t been checking out our photos, go here and take a look!  There’s a challenge hidden in one of the photos!  You have until we leave England next week to enter it! Tomorrow, bright and early,Continue reading “Friday – Preparing to Leave London”

I have a lot to write about… but not tonight… it’s 11:30 pm, and we’re zonked. But I do have to share this.  Scott and I made it to St. Paul’s Cathedral today.  Scott climbed to the top… I chickened out.  So, I’m sitting in the main portion of the Cathedral, and turn around…. AndContinue reading “Thursday, in London – a brief note”

Hi all! We’ve been having the time of our lives! And we’ve done tons of walking!  I may not walk for at least an hour after getting home from England.  (Actually longer… I’ve got a nice blister on my toe, and the chaffing I referred to earlier has gotten really bad.) Tuesday, we went backContinue reading “Wednesday Morning – London”

Hi all, I’ve not written quite as much as I’d hoped to.  But then I hadn’t taken into account how the days would unfold. We’ve been up until nearly midnight every night, and we are sleeping later than usual.  Right now it’s only 9:30 am here London time… all my Omaha friends are still soundContinue reading “Tuesday, in London”

Good evening, my friends! It’s nearing Midnight in London, and I’m about done in for the day.  Scott and I estimate we walked about 7 miles today.  I’ve developed a bit of a problem with chaffing, and my back gave me fits today.  Enough so that we eventually found a pub, The King’s Arms, andContinue reading “Sunday – In London”

Hey everyone! Scott and I had a great time flying over from the US, and we are safely here.  On the flight I got 2 and a half hours of very fitful sleep, then after landing we were non-stop running until 10. We’re preparing to head off to London, now.  So, I’ll try to postContinue reading “England, we are here!”
