We had a really good night’s sleep at the motel and we got away at around 11 am. We were in no hurry to get to Bolton, which was just as well, as the traffic on both the M5 and M6 was very heavy. Our original plan was to go off the motorway if we saw anything of interest, but because the going was slow we decided to go straight through with a couple of coffee breaks. We got to Bolton about 5 pm and we went to Tesco to get some supplies. This is a huge shop and we spent a while having a look around before we headed off to Dave and Gill’s place. Dave and Gill had arranged for their kids to come around it was great to see them all again. We ... read more

We stayed there until they ... read more

Cant believe that today is the 1st of August, where has the year gone! The last entry I did was on Tuesday (Birthday) so what have I done since........ Wednesday Woke up and packed up some food, mainly left overs from the BBQ and headed to pick my sister Tammy and my Nephews Kieran, Jesse and Cameron up for a day out. The weather had made a turn for the worse but we lived in hope that it would brighten up, it had been so lovely since I arrived so I couldn't complain. Anywho....we decided to drive to Formby National Park which is around an hour and 15 minute drive from where my sister lives. They have a forrest there that you can walk through that normally has lots of Squirrel's running around that you feed ... read more

Its the day after the night before...... I'm alive and in one piece after the wedding, though my head is a little groggy. Woke up this morning at some ungodly hour with the room still spinning, went to lift my head and thought this is not such a good idea!! Drowned myself in some much needed fluid that wasn't alcoholic and took my sorry self back to bed. Woke up at about 11am still feeling rough but getting better, parents made me a yummy roast dinner which smelt sooo good, have enjoyed that and am now starting to feel a lot better, need to top up my fluids though :o) So...the wedding!! What a great day :o) The weather was fantastic, bright, sunny, warm but not sticky which it has been for the last few days. ... read more

Just less than 2 weeks now until our 12 month three legged World Tour begins ( as in 3 different legs to it, not as in a school sports day). The plans are coming together nicely as Angela frantically works to finalise the details and it's all starting to get very exciting (it swings between this and blind panic). You'll already been gathering that this is our first ever blog, so please do make allowances. It probably won't be professional and polished but it will give an insight into our travels that will be honest and should be exciting. We've already had a chuckle as we've named our blog "AC DC World Tour" (obviously derived from our initials) but have had 5 rock fans contact asking for details of the gigs.........some people!!... read more
