Dear All Greetings! I thought I'd write a blog entry about a lovely day trip I did from London. I had not long arrived home after an amazing trip to New England USA, when my travel feet continued to itch and I was ready to do a bit more exploring again. This time I planned a little trip I'd been thinking about for a while now, ever since I watched the film "Pocahontas" when it came out in the 199... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Pocahantas...
Now for the rest of the story. My 10th great grandfather was Henry Rolfe, the brother of John Rolfe and brother in law of Pocahantas. When she died, Henry became the guardian of their son. Henry died in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony on 1 March 1642/3.

Oh... that wicked travel itch
So glad you are on the road again!... Keep it up all summer. Weekend day trips can be lots of fun. England and the U.S. are certainly intertwined in many ways. It is fun to track it down. I enjoyed your walk in Gravesend. Thanks for the history on the Sikhism.

Travel Itch
Yes, that travel itch needs scratching, lol! As you often say, so many places to see, so little time. I love US-UK connections, Gravesend indeed provided me with that. I enjoyed visiting the Sikh temple very much, it was like being in India for a brief visit!

Day Trips
Oh wow. If you're in London over a weekend, we could meet up for lunch or a drink or something. Perhaps you could send me a private message on here or on Facebook to see if we can organise something. It would be lovely to meet up with you and Susan if possible. And thanks for reading my Day Trip blog entry - it was an enjoyable day ?

Pocahantas
Pocahantas is one of those Disney films I keep meaning to watch but never actually get around to it. I'll be sure to watch it with my daughter next time I am on Disney+. Thanks for sharing your experience. These blogs close to home are very doable for me right now in terms of being able to travel to :)

Pocahontas
Ah, I very much recommend Pocahontas, one of the greats I think. A good link between the Old and New Worlds. I imagine that travels closer to home are easier for you now, hope you're able to continue scratching the travelling itch. Thanks for reading and for commenting 😊
