South Yorkshire Travel Blogs

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.

I'm writing this exactly three weeks before we are due to leave the familiar chilly climate of Sheffield. Just so you know, we are very excited! Lots of things are coming to an end now including jobs, gym contracts, car insurances etc and it seems a little strange realising how tied down/into things you actually are. FYI: companies do not like letting you out of said contracts early or for free! Anyway, jabs are done, flat is (almost) packed and we have 9 working days left. Wow... [View Full Entry]

Well at last I'm on my way, though I did have a bit of a fright when the lady who checked me onto to my flight, offered me a full refund on my flight ticket if I couldn't prove I was leaving Singapore within 3 months. A prebooked bus ticket was not good enough for her, on no, booked flights only are accepted. Having got through the ticket hiccup I resisted duty free, which for me is unknown, (OK I bought a disposable watch, which I know the mossy killer DEET will disolve by the end of my travels) I borded [View Full Entry]

Well only 2 days to go and I feel like I've eaten blender. I have a very rumbly tummy and I've not had any dodgy food yet!!!! (notice the yet bit in there). Having just been to my development weekend, at a scout camp in East Dulwich, I now feel fully prepared for jungle conditions, leeches, dodgy food and 5 litres of water per day, if only I could get this little lot in my back pack.

After the shocking weather of yesterday we were hoping that today has dawned a bit brighter and upon pulling the curtains we found it has!! The route today is mostly A1 driving but taking in a couple of places and sights that we missed when we travelled over this way from our time in Settle. First though Gretchen had to drive through the Tyne tunnel an experience she would rather avoid as she doesn't do tunnels that well especially when they are under water!!Leading up to the tunnel which is tolled the road becomes a free for all and we only [View Full Entry]

So when I was in Ironbridge (name of the town) which is where the first Iron bridge in the world was built(over the river Severn, cool huh:), back in the 1700's. Anyway after walking about for three hours trying to find a place to stay I ended up sleeping in the park and under the bridge(well next to it). I'm really tired or I would have given you a better story, there is picture of [View Full Entry]

What a portentous beginning... Two things have happened: the days are getting much, much longer, and we both have jobs. The difference this makes cannot be underestimated - we have more energy, we are generally happier and more relaxed about spending money, and we are finally at the point where we no longer look fearfully at the bank account every couple of days. I am playing more football. Mon has found a couple of dance classes to go to. We are planning our summer, which has arrived early. The last two weekends have been spent engaging in sun-related activities, to wit: [View Full Entry]

Too hot in the sunshine!
The neighbours' cats we babysat

Angie... Well 6 weeks worth of planning is now complete!! I am now a qualified sorcerers apprentice, Alan Sugar's Apprentices eat your heart out. We can beat the Apprentices hands down! The Norway trip is booked, planned and we are ready for off. Thank you to Karen Marks for putting in a very innovative travel award grant and ensuring that this was comprehensive, cohesive and a well structured business plan by setting the purpose and parameters. This would not have been as easy to initiate without the foundation stones in place. Well done Karen. But the next time she goes off [View Full Entry]

Here we go! 4 days and counting! I have just been chatting to Kay on the phone and now I am so excited I'm going to be a pain for the rest of the week. We have been arranging to meet at the airport, Chennai and our options for meeting, considering India is so crazy are 1) Meet at arrivals (not a good idea, apparently!) 2) Meet at the prepaid taxi rank (without getting bundled into one!) 3) Meet at the hotel a half hour ride away Having just checked the exchange rate from GBP into Indian Rupees I now feel [View Full Entry]
