Whiskers' Guestbook

What, disappointed with Dartmoor? Maybe thats because you didnt see it in the rain....on the day we were there it lived up to its spooky reputation as it was all shrouded in mist and it rained frequently! Sounds like you stuck a lucky day in Torquay though!

St Ives
If you want some photos of St Ives for your trip record let me know. They might be taken late September but we were told it was the best day of the 2008 summer. We parked in the carpark and took the stroll down to the town. The climb back is the puffing bit.

Wells and Joanne's wedding
Now that you have seen inside Wells Cathedral you will appreciate the magic feeling we had for Joanne's wedding. Joanne's friends put together a choir and string quartet and the organist was the organ scholar from Westminster Abbey. So everything about the occasion was more than memorable. Being a Friday afternoon at the height of the tourist season the body of the cathedral was full. Pleased you got the chance of a visit to the smallest city in England.

Ahhhh, the English summer.....I remember it well and its a glorious thing!

The English Summer!
Ahhh, the joys of the English summer.....sounds exactly as I remember it. Any wonder that I only lasted a year?

Train trips from the past
Reading about your train trip up Mt Snowden must have brought back memories of our train trip over the Rimutakas on one of the last Fell engine trips. It went so slow we got off and walked beside it. Oops!! you were only 3.

The cuzzies eh?
So pleased you got to meet the Scottish cuzzies and even better to see some photos of them. I appreciate many Benvie mannerisms are probably there and yet we have been separtaed from that line for 2 generations-there's something to be said for genetics isn't there?

Mum...
Ma, you look like a *midget* in that photo! :-P

Ya gotta watch out for them Frogs! And maybe those random phone booths in isolated places are for their local version of Superman (Super McGregor?) to get changed in.....
