Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

Back in the UK It’s funny how certain things, be they objects, places actions or words, are invested with different rules and meanings in different countries. In fact, in no two cities that I have lived in have the rules been identical. For example, if you suggest to a local in Plymouth that they might, perhaps, be a sheep bothering villain, a few words would be exchanged, but if you were to do the same thing in Cardiff then the whole establishment you were drinking in would be trying to cut your throat wit [View Full Entry]

Sitting in my Sister in laws in Plymouth having just safely returned Rory (11) and Theo (8) after a weeks holiday with their Aunt Liz and Uncle Alan. Had a great time at a campsite near the tiny hamlet at Hope Cove. We visited Kinsbridge and Salcombe by bus and Ferry and walked for miles out to a couple of beaches at Hope Cove and Thurlstone. The boys ate copious amounts of ice cream etc and seemed to survive a week with us in the van. The dog (Rhubarb) came with us and aslo seemed to enjoy the experience. Prior to [View Full Entry]

The Wedginald's So as is routine at this time of year - the Wedge had us drive down to Plyms to do some bitch work on his yacht. This involves finding some skanky old paint (anti-foul actually) and slapping it on the "Seraph's" underside - I think they call it hull. Fortunately, the weather was with us, so it wa'n't too painful. Sailing up the River Having done all of Wedge's bitch work, while he claimed to be busy saving the world with Nuclear Submarine Safety Procedures (unfortunately that's true - well I don't think he's actually saved the world yet, [View Full Entry]

Hi There Not going to type to much coz to be honest I can't be bothered today....hehe On Friday I went to a Stately Home/Manor House called Cotehele down south with my sisters Michelle and Jacqui and my nephew Connor. We had at last received some sunshine so decided to get out and about. Cotehele has some lovely gardens and normally you are allowed in the house which is full of old furniture, bit like a museum but on this particular day the house was closed for cleaning so we made do with walking around the grounds which was nice enough.

Another morning flight but a short trip to the airport to return the hire car and after a bit of drama around which terminal we were flying from we were off to Plymouth. A short flight with Air South West who are a local airline based out of Plymouth. The flight was less than 2 hours and we touched down in Bristol to drop off and pick up a few other passengers and we were off again. We have previously done the five hour drive to Plymouth to this was certainly the favoured option to travel the Australian way by flying [View Full Entry]
