I cannot believe I'm actually just about done. I've really enjoyed writing about the trip, and also enjoyed all the great comments. I think I've put off finishing since once it's done.... it's over. Writing about it means reliving it just a bit. And it's been really fun. {oh, and as an FYI, I'm p...

england countryside #23- nottingham

The last day....waaaaahhhh!! This was Saturday, October 30. We'd decided to spend the day in Nottingham, which is only about ten miles from the marina. We'd initially thought we'd be spending a lot of time in Nottingham when we first booked the canal boat, since it's so close to Sawley. We starte...

england countryside #22 – stonehenge

The last stop of the last day in Wiltshire.... waaahhhh!!! Stonehenge was, as I think I said before, much more touristy than I expected. It's not like Avebury, where you can go wander at your leisure amongst the stones. There's a touristy little ticket area with a gift shop and little food place ...

Could it actually be another chapter in The England Chronicles at last??? I do believe it is! And sadly there aren't too many more to go. We're down to Glastonbury and Stonehenge, and then the last day which we spent in Nottingham. So, it's drawing to a close, slowly but surely. This was our last...

February 1, 2011
Part ten zillion, five hundred and twelve of The England Chronicles. After sadly leaving Avebury, we headed to  The Barge. Baker B kept telling us we HAD to go see The Barge. The Barge is a pub on a canal outside Alton Barnes, and is a hotbed of UFO and Crop Circle activity - so of…

england #19 – avebury and more white horses

Yes, at last it's another chapter in the England Trip Chronicles That Have No End! Oh, well, I've only been back for three months. No rush! And of course my titles are confusing in that they have completely departed from any relation to the days themselves. Quite some time ago. Probably obviously...

January 11, 2011
Wednesday morning we were off bright and early, hitting the Roadside Service Starbucks for our caffeine and breakfast, and onwards to see the Uffington White Horse. Baker B has done all sorts of research on mysterious mysteries like crop circles and prehistoric stone arrangements and the White Ho...

england #17 – wednesday in bath

January 10, 2011
To everyone who expressed doubt that we could see Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, a bunch of white horses, and oh, how about the Salisbury cathedral too?? All in the same day.... why, yes, we DID somewhat underestimate how much time that would take. Just a tad. Now I can't remember when we decided we'...

england #16- we jaunt off towards wiltshire

January 7, 2011
Tuesday we didn't get off to a very early start, partially due to a broken modem crisis. We didn't have internet access at our London lodgings, but I'd taken the netbook with me and just carried it in my messenger bag during the days....and I should really get a picture of my messenger bag, which...

england #15 – walking around long eaton. and back.

I don't know how I could have forgotten to include a Curly Winged Swan picture in the last entry. Before we leave the canal and go wandering around town, here's the very pretty Curly Winged Swan (I'm sure they have a more technical name than that): Or maybe it's just a normal swan and they…
