Shelly's Party

Neigh

G'day everyone. Well if you haven't heard the gossip already, here it is: Luke and I have broken up. If you want the details you can email me. All I am going to say is that we are both better off and we are both very happy now being independant. So please don't spend any time worrying about either of us because we really are doing fantastically!! Well not much travelling has been done since my last blog, just thought i would add a few photos of some of my friends over here in the sunny UK, although not so sunny of late :-( It's been raining the last few days, but before that we have had such beautiful weather.

Rochester Sweeps Festival 2006

Rochester Alleyway

A short trip today, 30 minutes or so by train to Rochester which is in the county of Kent just below London. Every year they hold there Sweeps Festival to coincide with the Mayday holiday. As this is was the traditional day the the chimney sweep boys would get off. This happened for about 300 hundred years until the 1868 Climbing Boys Act. This made it illegal to employ young boys and send them up the chimneys to clean them. The festival in its present form has been running for 27 years now. Saturday turned out to be a nice Spring day, not that warm but dry. Even before we reached Rochester you got a flavour of the days events on the train. As mixed in the the football fan on there way to see Chelsea ... read more

There'll Be Blue Birds Over...

Travelling Lady

Hello everyone, I don't know why anyone would take the chunnel when they can cross the English Channel by ferry. It was wonderful. It had the atmosphere of a cruise ship. Restaurants to suit any taste. The bus ride to Dover gave me a chance to see another part of London. It was far more interesting than hurtling through a tunnel in a glorified subway and at one third the price. I take back all the nasty things I said about people from Paris being rude. I got to the bus station\subway station and found out that there isn't an ATM anywhere. I'm staring at the automatic ticket machine that would take a credit card and this woman asked if I needed help. I told here that I needed to get euros. She took me out ... read more
