  • Lower Heyford

    21 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ 🌙 8 °C

    After nearly 40 hours on the road we arrived in Lower Heyford, the starting point for our canal boat trip. We stopped off in Singapore, then to London where we caught the bus to Oxford. We had a quick look around and then caught the train to Lower Heyford. We were absolutely exhausted but managed to keep awake until after dinner at the local pub The Bell. Glad we could finally lie down in a comfy bed! Just a few photos from a whirlwind tour around Oxford.Okumaya devam et

  • Aynho

    22 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    This morning Mark and I walked to Rousham House and Gardens before we met Mark, Debra and Laura for our canal boat trip. We were given a brief tutorial and then we were on our way! We moored at Aynho wharf and walked at least a mile to the Cartwright Hotel for dinner; a little scary walking back in the dark after dinner. The first and second photos are of Heyford House; we stayed here for the first night in Lower Heyford. The third and fourth photos are Rousham.Okumaya devam et

  • Banbury

    23 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We headed off this morning; Mark D steering and the rest of the crew mastering the locks and raising bridges. Beautiful countryside and moving at a very leisurely pace. We moored the boat and ventured into Banbury; remember the nursery rhyme? Anyway, we finally found a decent pub for lunch, the Old Reindeer Inn; Debra and I enjoying half pints. We bought pasties on the way home for dinner on the boat.Okumaya devam et

  • Oxford

    25 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Just a short trip on the boat from Upper to Lower Heyford; we were due back at the wharf by 9am. The weather was miserable, so we were glad we were no longer on the boat. We all left by train for Oxford. Mark and I enjoyed a tour of the Bodleian Library before catching the train to Paddington. (Apologies for the selfie!)Okumaya devam et

  • London

    25 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    We are staying in Chelsea for the first time and enjoying the shops, houses etc. Shopped at Waitrose including for dinner. Lovely to climb into a big bed after 3 nights on the boat!

  • London

    26 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, we walked to Kensington Palace. I went to the Diana exhibition and Mark had a wander around the gardens. No sign of the royals; however, I do believe we spotted Lupo! (The Cambridge's dog). Mark then treated us to afternoon tea at the Orangery; not quite up to The Goring. Home for a rest and then off to The Builders Arms for drinks and dinner with our nephew Antony. Apologies if the photos are skewed; we are still feeling as if we are on a boat.:(Okumaya devam et

  • London

    27 Eylül 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Today we headed off to The Oval for the ODI between England and the West Indies. The Brits sure know how to cater at sporting events. We once again enjoyed Pimms, fish and chips, ales and more! Weather was perfect until about 7.30pm when the heavens opened.Okumaya devam et

  • London

    28 Eylül 2017, Almanya ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Once again we had lovely weather for our last day in London. We decided to take a walk around Chelsea and chanced upon the home of Thomas and Jane Carlyle. The house is set up as it was in the mid nineteenth century. We then spent a couple of hours at the Physic Garden; including a wonderful lunch, tour and then afternoon tea. Walking round Chelsea is certainly checking out how the other half live! In the evening, we headed into central London to watch The Toxic Avenger; great show.Okumaya devam et

  • Buhl

    29 Eylül 2017, Almanya ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Today we left London and it was wet and miserable. We flew Easy jet to Stuttgart, the plane was full of loud Poms wearing lederhosen; not a pretty sight. We had a long drive to Tubingen due to road works. Met Liz and John and all the English rellies for dinner. Looking forward to the wedding tomorrow. 🤗Okumaya devam et

  • Tubingen

    30 Eylül 2017, Almanya ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    So today was the big day. We had beautiful weather to start with, but by late afternoon the rain started. The day started with a short but steep walk up to The Wurmlinger chapel for the wedding ceremony; Joanna looked lovely in Liz's old wedding dress. Following the ceremony, we made our way down the hill to enjoy cake and coffee. We also released many heart shaped balloons which had been the theme on the invitations. We then set off on our walk to Tubingen through the forest; stopping for champagne on the way. We then convened at the Museum Restaurant for the reception. A long, but very special day.Okumaya devam et

  • Tubingen

    1 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    A quiet day today following the celebrations of yesterday. The UK and Australian contingent met at 12pm in the central square of Tubingen before making their way to a bier garten fir a late lunch. Mark and I returned to our accommodation in Buhl for a late afternoon rest. We have been spending way too much time eating and drinking!Okumaya devam et

  • Friederichshafen

    2 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Today we left Tubingen/Buhl and headed towards Lake Constance. We were once again reacquainted with the maniacal European drivers! We spent the afternoon at the Zeppelin museum before heading to our bed and breakfast called die Villa. You can see the Zeppelin flying near the church spire. Mark and I walked to the top of the tower which was rather wobbly up the top. Dinner was a take away salad from the supermarket eaten in our room. Weather not looking good for tomorrow so not sure if we will end up on the lake. The first photo is of our hostess in Buhl and her beautiful dog Lassie; we were very well looked after for three nights, 😍Okumaya devam et

  • Friederichshafen

    3 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    The weather this morning was pretty awful; however, it cleared up by midday. We set off for Meersburg in the car and then took the ferry to Mainau Island; beautiful gardens. (It made Floriade look very amateurish). Mark and I are now officially oldies as we have visited a number of gardens on this trip. We then came back to Meersburg and drove to Lindau the last German town before Austria. This was a very pretty town on the lake when we enjoyed our al fresco dinner.Okumaya devam et

  • Kelheim

    4 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    We left Friederichshafen today for Kelheim. The first two photos are of die Villa and the winderful breakfast. Mark and I are not enjoying the driving/navigating in Germany. The roads are just not built for the number of cars/trucks etc. that are using the roads. We will both be glad to get back to the UK and public transport! Anyway, we made it to Kelheim late this afteroom and walked up a steep hill to a monument commemorating something or other; I will fill in the details later. We then adjourned for dinner at a Vietnamese/Sushi restaurant; no more noodles for me. Oh, we also stopped off at the Audi museum in Ingolstadt; how could I forget.Okumaya devam et

  • Bayreuth

    5 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    We left Kelheim yesterday morning, but not before we took a short boat ride to the Weltenberg Kloster about 6 kms upstream. We were joined by busloads of tourists from the Avalon company; lots of Americans. We then headed to Bayreuth where Mark's half sister lives. However, we had to make a stop at HMB-Guzzi on the way. 🤔
    We spent an interesting evening with Irene and Alfred; they don't speak English and we don't speak German! They took us to a lovely restaurant for dinner. Mark forgot his camera so will add photos of Irene and Alfred later.

  • Bayreuth

    6 Ekim 2017, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    This morning we had breakfast with Alfred and Irene before heading back to Stuttgart airport. The weather was extremely wet and windy; we were glad to be heading home. We were delayed getting away from Stuttgart and then had to fly above Heathrow for an extra 20 minutes or so. Thankfully, we were staying at an airport hotel so didn't have to travel far. Heading to Bristol tomorrow to catch up with Nicholas. (Alfred and Irene are the couple on the left in the second photo). We stayed in a lovely place called Villa Friedrich.Okumaya devam et

  • Bristol

    7 Ekim 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    This morning we had a and dash from our hotel to the Heathrow bus station; we only had 3 minutes to spare! We are staying in a very nice basement flat in Bristol. The owner lives above and has made the place very comfortable. Nicholas picked us up around lunchtime and we went to watch the rugby; I even got the boots on! We have just returned from a fantastic Italian restaurant; great food and vibe.Okumaya devam et

  • Bristol

    8 Ekim 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    A beautiful day for sightseeing in Bristol. Nicholas picked us up late morning and we had brunch at the River Cottage restaurant. We then had a drive around Bristol before heading for the Clifton suspension bridge and observatory. Home for a quiet rest before heading out to dinner at the Clifton Sausage with Nicholas and Effia.Okumaya devam et

  • Bristol

    9 Ekim 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Nicholas had training today so we kept ourselves amused. We walked down to the harbour and had a good look around the SS Great Britain; well worth a visit if you head to Bristol. We then went on a short boat trip before heading to a lovely little pub called the Pump House; the crew on the boat recommended it. We then came home for a well earned rest before heading over to see Nicholas and Efia for pizza. We felt very sad saying goodbye to them both.Okumaya devam et

  • Bristol

    10 Ekim 2017, İngiltere ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    So our last day of our trip; we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Just wish we could have stayed in Bristol longer. We spent our last few hours checking out the Museum, art gallery, climbing a tower and enjoying lunch in a little cafe in Clifton. Our host Vanessa has been lovely; I have included a picture of her with their cat Delphinium Guy Fawkes or Guido for short. On the bus for Heathrow at 3pm for the flight home. 😢Okumaya devam et

  • Canberra

    12 Ekim 2017, Avustralya ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Finally home, we left Bristol at 3pm on Tuesday and came through the front door at 12pm Thursday. Washing machine is on and life is back to normal. Thank you Miranda for looking after the house whilst we were away. Just Minty to be delivered tomorrow by Matt from Rovers Retreat. 😚Okumaya devam et
