England

It’s Grace now.  Hey(:  Today we were smooth sailing from Belgium to the sunny streets of England! We’ve been on the road since 9 and have stopped off only to go to the toilet and to have a geeze at Stonehenge. That was pretty cool. We didn’t pay to get in so we just stood being the fence and had a look over.  Now we're off to the Turleys. Can’t wait to see everybody.  Mum’s making Ella and I look at every old house and tree that we drive past although we can’t see a lot because the fog is hiding a lot of everything.  We just passed a castle that was perched in a field of yellow clover. Mum’s desperation to get a photo soon turned to frustration as we sped past and her iPod’s camera was stuck facing her. Ella and I have created a new style of clothes called puffer pants. Yeah, we stick our legs through the armholes of our puffa jackets . You can probably imagine how awesome it looks.

 The fields of rapeseed are a very pretty sight from the motorway as we go boosting past, unsure whether we are breaking the speed limit or not; certainly there are cars passing us.

Ewan, the girls found you the perfect job in Belgium. You just have to run a youth hostel. We had a ‘Ewan’ at our one and both girls commented that he reminded them of you. He chatted away to us, was very friendly and even had some of your mannerisms!

Finally got some of the technology sorted. Have U.K sim card so cell phone now in action. Still no camera!

We are staying in Cornwall with the lovely Darragh, Judy and kids. Thanks to Darragh's Amazing Adventures and his knowledge of the most spectacular views and pretty places, we have been shown some really lovely places away from the crowds and back to nature. We have walked in the woodlands, along the cliffs, viewed castles, walked around pretty coastal villages, through churches, cemeteries and tonight we are going to a show of Swallows and Amazons. Great wine, great chat, great cheese and even a cheeky port from Spain. Both Terry and I have become rather round again but it's just too bad. There are too many different and interesting foods to try.
