Hi Everyone, It's finally time to come home and I can't wait. I have places to go and people to see! Lots has happened since my last entry. I've been up to the Isle of Skye, Ben Nevis and there are some pictures on Facebook. I will probably do an entry when I get home on the 10th of July and after that will probably close this, unless I do more travelling. My day to day life won't involve nearly as much travel once I'm home. I just want to thank everyone who has looked after me while I have been here - Trevor's family, my Dad's family, Mum's family and the many people I have met since I have been here over the past 3 years. I didn't do all of the travelling I wanted, ... read more

Hi Everyone, Following on from our entry from Brittany........... From St. Malo we went as foot passengers on the ferry to Jersey. We met some friends of Allen's there, Reisha and Gareck. We had a great couple of days there. Again, it was very cold, but really nice. Gareck and Reisha drove us around Jersey and took us to some really beautiful places. We hope to get back there at some stage before too long. The food over there is beautiful, although quite expensive, especially compared to Brittany. It was great meeting Reisha and Gareck and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of going there. ... read more

Hi Everyone, Well, I hope that everyone is well. Things are going well over here. Mum and Trevor left last Sunday after spending three months over here. It was so nice having them here and being able to see them whenever I wanted to. I really miss having family and friends I can see regularly. It's the price I pay for being so far away from home. On their second week here Allen and I met them in Ireland and we stayed with Allen's parents, Paul and Eileen. We had such a great time and the week there went very quickly. We took them to the Giant's Causeway, around Derry, to a stone circle and a couple of castle ruins and to Newgrange and Knowth. Allen's brothers and their children came over on their last night ... read more

Hi Everyone, Well it's been a while since I last added and entry and I definitely have good reason to now. Allen and I decided at the last minute to go to Egypt for 10 days, and we got a really good deal including flights and accommodation so we were happy. The catch of course being that it's Summer and by 12:00 noon it's 46 degrees celsius. But, with a pool at the hotel and air-conditioning, we were able to survive it. I'm going to do a few entries on Egypt, as we saw so much, and one entry wouldn't do it justice. First, we flew into Cairo. You really have to go there to understand what it's like. We got a cab to the airport and that was one of our funniest experiences. There's no ... read more

Hi Everyone, Well I've been back in Plymouth now for about a week. It's so nice to be home and to have time to relax before I get back into work again. It's nice not getting the underground as well, and really nice to be back in Devon and being able to go to Cornwall and Dartmoor whenever I want to. We've been to Cornwall a couple of times since I've been back, and went to Dartmoor National Park yesterday. It was really nice there. I picked up a book on walks in Dartmoor and we found one of the stone circles we were looking for, but the second one (it's two stone circles off each other) was a little more difficult. The directions were very difficult to decipher when your landmark to head for ... read more
