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 1 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 ... 90 next »
So here we are, the final blog. I am safely back in England and on the journey back I put some thoughts together and here they are 3 MONTHS ON THE ROAD: A REFLECTION These 90 or days or so I've spent have been easily the most exhilarating of my life. Every day has been memorable. Unlike before when too many days blurred into one every day here was different. I could probably recollect all 87 days in good detail and get pretty much all the information right. How many can say that they can remember what they did on each [View Full Entry]

Gibraltar to Cairo The Long Way Round As I am now less than a week from the beginning of what is one of the ultimate overland trips, I thought it was about time I looked into setting up some form of travelblog, so people can track me across Africa. I am not promising the beginnings of a best seller or anything to the high standards set by Ray or Michelle. So almost 8 years since the end of my last overland trip, the current state of the economy has finally given me the push into beginning another one. This time [View Full Entry]

"I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea; Nor, England! did I know till then, what love I bore to thee..." - William Wordsworth Shires of Lincoln: There is no place quite like home... I have spent most of my life in a land where any undulation over 100ft is considered mountainous and where the landscape is strewn with muddy fields and drainage streams. Sheep, cows, and corn barns, are liberally scattered across a fenland topography which is so flat, I once watched my wild Terrier dog run off for days before she tired and trundled home. Within a [View Full Entry]

In the past nine months I have had the craziest whirlwind of fun and adventure, resulting in me having my best summer ever! This time last year, I had just begun my degree at the University of Lincoln and was planning on doing a summer camp programme the next summer. It wasn't until the next January, however, when I eventually took a deep breath and applied to be on BUNAC's Summer Camp USA programme. I had begun to apply with another well-known company, but I soon discovered that BUNAC was a lot cheaper. At first glance, the application form looked quite [View Full Entry]

We have had a very busy few weeks and we thought we would put up some pics of our exciting activities over here in rainy England. We have had some very mixed weather, sunshine and showers all round and we have had a few chilly days too. Mind you, we went for a walk last week along the river bank by mum's house and I got burnt! We have caught up with so many people, it has been brilliant. So many play dates with so many friends, the children think they are in heaven! This afternoon, we are off to Haven [View Full Entry]

My Supermen!
Check the Stump in the background
This is called the Boston Stump, for those of you who don't know!

We have had a complaint that we have not written since we have been away, so, due to popular demand, we are back!!! Only a brief one mind as I don't have many pics at the moment...more to follow! Our trip back was ok, but not great. Our flight was delayed, but on the plus side, this meant that Soph went and chatted up the pilots and they were both invited to go and see the cockpit before we took off! They were so excited and even pressed some buttons apparently. I was not allowed to join them sadly, even though [View Full Entry]

Leaving Grimsby we continued up the east coast headed for Whitby we stopped in the town of Scarborough and visited Scarborough Castle. This ruin was started in 900 AD. There was evidence of settlements in 500 BC from archeological digs and there are remains of a Roman signal station. Scarborugh is also a great shopping town with huge pedestrian malls. Did a little shopping for the grandkids. On up the coast we stopped at Whitby our and our next hotel but before dinner we were to visit the Whitby Abbey. Also a ruin (obviously) it was constructed in 657 AD but [View Full Entry]

It's Canada Day and we are off to tangle with more roundabouts and pubs! Left Norwich for Sandringham the Royal summer home. Queen not at home (She is defintely avoiding us). Toured the grounds and left for Cleethorpes on the east coast. Landscape in this area is gently rolling hills and quaint little villages. Arrived in Cleethorpes and walked the promenade looking for a pub. Found the Smugglers Inn and stopped by for a drink and a bite to eat. I tried 3 different beers (more properly ales & bitters) and Elke had the Wine special. Buy 2 glasses and get [View Full Entry]

Nottingham to Lincoln 20-05-09 Okay...I'll admit it. For those of you a bit more clued in, you may have noticed I magically went from Peterborough to Nottingham. Magically aka In used a train. I cheated, I know! BUT moving on, I'm currently in Lincoln and its really pretty here. I arrived from North Hykeham it's quite large so it took me awhile to get into the center to the B&B that I'm staying in. I had looked at the map and noticed the hill was called steep hill. I hoped that maybe it was just a bit of irony and it [View Full Entry]

I'm home!  Europe » United Kingdom » England » Lincolnshire
So anybody would think that after 34 hours of travelling, with very little sleep, that I'd still be in bed at 6:30am on a Saturday morning. But no, instead I was eating toast and cornflakes due to waking up absolutely starving! Understandable, considering I hadn't eaten since 2pm UK time the day before, but still somewhat annoying! I'll come to the travelling home in a bit, but first I have to write about my amazing last week....... The last thing I wrote about was my sheer excitement at eating a chicken burger and fries, despite having to endure many chavtastic tourists [View Full Entry]
