Still traipsing around!

---

Heh everyone, well I am now in Stratford and killing time till I catch a bus to Broadway which doesn't leave till 12.10 pm. It is raining now but hopefully will clear.

This trip so far has been BIG! and I can't describe just how wonderful the people have been to me so far. Mandy and Mark from Kilwinning up in Scotland were just wonderful. I will always remember our afternoon in Blackpool! Poor Amanda had to put up with me sneezing and snifffling all the way from Scotland to Stratford! Can't leave out Tony and Lori also who went out of their way to make me welcome. Then there was David in Stirling who drove me all over the place one afternoon. All these people will never look at a black and white cow or a sheep in the same way again...and Amanda I saw rabbits last night in the field in front of the house....took many photos!

Also it has been great getting on line and reading all the comments from those back home....keep them coming because I am now homesick :[ boo hoo! I actually got up this morning and counted the days till I fly home...12!

This is the hardest leg really...getting through the Cotswolds without a car and trying to get to Port Isaacs on Sunday. I will have some difficulty with transport I think and only have accomodation booked for tonight. Oh well....I will figure it out!

Ok love to all back home....till I get online again take care!

Mum/Louise xxxx

Sounds loike you are just heving the best toime. We have your Hi-tinery on our fridge and have been checking it every day to see where you would be and trying to guess what you might be getting up to. Can't wait to see the slide show of your trip. Your blog has been fabulous and an excellent insight into your holiday experience. It's so great to share it with you from so far away. Love the pic of you in the carriage and can't wait to hear what the gypsy lady told you!! Anyhoo, I had better finish off. I am on an internet kiosk in Brisbane airport. Have been down here for a two day training workhshop - which was good. Enjoy the rest of your trip, love and hugs Lara and Den xxxx

Hey mum, I was wondering if your homesick yet... I got your message this morning (its Tuesday 26 aug) and you have under a week to go. It feels like you've been gone for ages. Well the weather is a little warmer I think but very windy. I went to football on the weekend and the breeze was like icycles (cant spell that word) my lips were blue. It sounds like youve met some very nice people too which is good to hear, although I dont think anyone could be mean to you. Well time for the Eton report and its been a wild and windy last couple of days which has seen many leaves fall over my lawn, making plenty of raking exercise. I also got out the soaker hose the other day and the lawn is getting greener by the day. The bathroom is still beautiful and Dusty spent his first night outside ( he just didnt come back by the time i went to bed, and well there was no way I would have been able to find him so I slept very little, but he was at the door this morning so he was fine) Hank chewed up a box and a bucket yesterday when I went to get groceries so I bought him a BIG bone and he seems happy now. (bloody dog) I got the bonnet and roof of my car re-painted so it looks like new again and Jared is still enjoing the 5 star meals i make him every night ( I believe tonight were having Italian, rosemary and garlic sausages with seasoned vegies and thick roast meat gravy -gravox ha ha) Well thats the latest and heard it here first ha ha, hope all is good and Ill talk to you soon see ya mum
