England 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.

So its Saturday 16th May 2009 and today is the day we fly out. Walking through the airport was an experience within itself, the silence was eary but strangely relaxing. The previous night we had completed our on-line check in, which left us with only our luggage to hand over. Next stop was Airport security. After 9-11 i knew it would be quite tough however having the hundreds of Airport workers strip me of my shoes and personal belongings was like being marched through a military camp to my death. Finally we arrived through the other side AKA Airside where i [View Full Entry]

RIP 27 Nov 2009
When you can say "this time next week i'll be..." it's a pretty good time to start counting down. With a little bit of obligatory flapping over the packing, and with a little more to do when i get home from dog-sitting this friday, we'll be off to Thailand and beyond. 6 days to go. Not much travelling been done yet except between North and West London... [View Full Entry]

Clivden  Europe » United Kingdom » England » Nottinghamshire » Nottingham
Monday 30.11.2009 Day 47 Clivden Cliveden is an Italianate stately-home at Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England. Set on cliffs 200 feet above the River Thames, it has been home to an Earl, two Dukes, a Prince of Wales and the Viscounts Astor. It is now owned by the National Trust and the house is leased as a five-star hotel run by von Essen hotels. During the 1970s it was occupied by Stanford University of California who used it as an overseas campus. It was the meeting place of the so-called "Cliveden Set" in the 1920s and 1930s and the setting for key events [View Full Entry]

The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden
The ''Henry Moore''
What does one do on a cold and very wet Sunday morning in South Devon? A walk on Dartmoor or along the coastal footpath is out of the question in this weather. In South Devon and not too far from Totnes there is a garden which is spiritually uplifting in any weather. It is a delight to walk through and the scenery changes through out the seasons. This is a garden that is open to the public but is not widely publicised. It is not in my interest to reveal this ''secret'' but if you decide to visit Totnes you should [View Full Entry]

I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
Continuation from Part One... After an awesome day of sightseeing, I returned to my hostel to shower and get ready. Sadly, all of my roommates had checked out so I wasn't sure when or if I would be getting new ones. And then my phone started going off, reminding me that my GRE scores were available. So I went and got a Global Card, went to the nearest pay phone, and dialed in to America to check my scores. A definite improvement but not amazing - 1040 (better than my 910 before) with a 630 on the quantitative which will look [View Full Entry]

Hi!
Hi!
James
It all started during GCSE Science in year 11. All students were issued with "Record books" personal planners designed to enhance the learning of each individual teenager. They didn't. Mine and 95% of all other students rarely- if ever used them and if they did it was only to write obscene messages about their class mates mothers or used as tools for the daily Speed Penis drawing competition! One day, however I stumbled across a page which really did transform my life. It was a picture of the Globe with interesting facts about each country and pictures of its famous attractions.

Hi!

Oh dear! I remembered to take my camera with me on Friday and took loads of good photos. BUt when I got home I couldn't find a way to transfer them to the computer. The photos all showed up on the screen of my camera but when I connnected it to the computer it couldn't see them - and the same thing happened when I tried using the card reader. It seems to be a problem with the card because when I put other similar cards into the reader they worked ok. If anyone can suggest a solution, please let me [View Full Entry]

24 hour Liverpudlian Adventure Being a fan of the Beatles, my friend Alma and I decided to go to Liverpool for a weekend since the National Express tickets were only 12GBP return. The ride to Liverpool took about 5 hours from London, left London at 8am and got there at 1pm for our adventure. It rained the whole time we were there, and because we were travellers on budget, we WALKED to our B&B. It took one hour. I'll take exercise anyway I can. Once at the B&B, Paul, the guy who worked there gave us tips on the bus system [View Full Entry]
