A royal visit! How fabulous! Who would have thought the Queen would have popped out to see two Aussies holidaying?! LOL - how cool is that! You guys sound like you are having a hoot of a time. Stonehenge is a truly amazing place (in a paddock) - can' t wait to hear all your stories. Great job with the blog guys!!! Safe travelling on your last few days and enjoy every second. Look forward to seeing you when you get back :)
Seeing the Queen Great that you got to experience the Queen's cavalcade and loved it.
I'll have to get you down to Sydney one Mardi Gras! Lots of queens down there all frocked up!!!
NY and UK Loved the comment about where is the Bear? Hilarious. Can't wait to hear all about NYC and your tips on what to see and do. Spoke to a cousin in UK on Sat - predicted coldest May EVER. BRRRR. St Andrews should be brass monkeyville. Thanks for the blogs - I'm loving them.
Nova Scotia update Loved all the detail - sounds like a terrific time is being had. Say hi to everyone. xo
PS - you've been featured in the Chronicle and then Sea FM have mentioned it too. S'pose I'll have to ask for your autograph now!
Hi Steve, It's a pannicked Pam Laycock calling... What a crack up... While we were out walking the pooches this morning, your Mum called and left a message. She was all spun out and pannicked. THE COMPUTER WOULDN'T TURN ON!!! Apparently one of the Foale clan came to rescue before I could get back to her so all's well and happy at Edendale once again... hehehe!!!
Travel well D's
Thanks for helping Mum :) Thanks so much for helping Mum :) Bless her cotton socks!!
We're having a great time - looking forward to getting off this boat though ... :o)
Happy Birthday!! A slightly belated Birthday Wish for you! We ran out of internet access at a crucial moment - but I was thinking of you on the day! Happy Birthday dear friend, I hope you had a lovely day xoxoxox
:) My my; don't you two look dapper !! :):). I guess there would be a growing sense of trepidation, alseit slight and largely undercurrent, amongst your fellow passengers as the cruise nears the fatal spot? I enjoyed your entry from Southampton and now you are on the cruise of a lifetime and there's only one picture and a few lines. Or didi I miss somethig? Is the displayed entry only the last one?
sister My sister Missy and her friend Kathy are on that cruise so good to read your travelogue since they're 'off the grid' so to speak. I'm in Atl Ga and they're from Florida (Panama City Beach and Pensacola).
Glad you loved the brass band we organised!! Hi guys and girls, sounds like you are having a fabulous time which is no surprise. The guiness looks rather nice as does the pub!! Nothing beats the Irish or Ireland :) Hope the gala event is spectacular. There was some pics on the news online of your ship and the gala event - looked fabulous. Looked for you but couldn't spot you!
Continue to enjoy and love the pics and commentary!!!!!
Loving the update! Debskies... I feel it only appropriate to say..."You are looking fantastic!" You're bringing "HOT to Trot" to Chilly England!
Wonny Dots.. The French Taunter? .. I read the French Tickler haha then realised my error ;) hehe!
Enjoy :) Hey 2 D's,
Looks like you're enjoying yourselves; steeping yourselves in the local culture! You know, there are several Transition Towns (communities that are transitioning from oil dependance to self reliance) in England: Totnes (the home of Transition Towns), Lancaster, Tooting, Bristol, Portobello to name a few. I don't know the goegraphy of these places but they often have different festivals happening. Google them.
Love and Light,
Celeste
Deep Green With Envy!!! Looks like you guys have settled in well. Keep smiling and drinking all the way home. Everyone expects exactly that from a carefree crew of cavorting Aussies!
Anyway, visiting pubs everywhere you go is a much better way to leave a memorable trail than dropping popcorn so you don't get lost! hehehe
When do you think I should take the car for a drive Damo? Don't know how long you normally go between drives. BTW, what's your Mum's name Deb? Don't want to rock up and say,
"Hi, I'm Steve... and you are...?
;-))
Hey There!! Hey mate - all's good and thanks heaps for taking the Zed-car for a blat to keep the thing going. Mum's name is Pam Laycock - and we'll let her know that you might be popping out to take the car for a phang ... otherwise she might be a bit dodgy about letting some stranger steal the car for a bit LOL Hope all is well at home xo
SEEN YOU!! Feel like I am part of your big holiday reading this blog Deb! Fantastic! Could not believe it last night watching the 7 news when I seen you, Don and Damo on the Telly boarding the big arse ship! I got so excited!! so glad ur having a wonderful time xx
Ha haa!! Hey Ms Lisa! Wow, can't believe it made the news back home ... it is a big thing over here - especially Cobh. Couldn't believe the brass band and hoards of people ... !!!
We're embarking on the Holiday of a Lifetime! With our friends Don & Jocelyn Watts, we are joining the Titanic Memorial Cruise, which leaves from Southampton on Sunday the 8th of April 2012. We follow the Titanic's steps, and will be at the site of the sinking on April 15 2012 - exactly 100 years after the ship sank. We'll attend a Memorial Service at 2.20am to pay homage to those who lost their lives, and also to those who survived. We journey onto Canada, then finish the cruise in New York. After spending a couple of days in New York, we are flying back to the UK to do a drive/tour - th... full info
