Good luck! Hope you're having fun in California.
Just a couple of details for your article:
The tower near Havant was all that remains of Warblington Castle, a fortified manor house that was mostly destroyed during the Civil War http://www.ecastles.co.uk/warblington.html
The rare bird in a field there was a cattle egret

This is a species that normally sticks to southern europe and Africa, but had joined the large number of little egrets in the Havant area. The photos I got of it were rubbish btw - it was tooo far away.
The vegetarian Indian Restaurant in London was called the Diwana

Oh, and why do I look like I'm 20 stone in front of the Tank Museum? I don't remember wearing a fat suit on that day!
Good luck in South America.
Cheers,
Mark
Food! Well, chaps you're always welcome to come round and drink vast amounts of alcohol, dance to 'sing-along' music and eat loads of yummy, yummy vegetarian food!!!
It was so lovely seeing you and judging from the pictures we certainly had fun! (Obviously, the memory of that night is a little hazy).
Dear family and friends,
I haven't written here since 2020.
Look forward to sharing my travel adventures with you here in the near future.
Send a message and let me know how you are doing too.
take care and know I think of you daily.
hugs.
