Hoping for Some Clearing

as it has been a very grey day.

In the River Medway

past the industrial area there are some nice views and a brighter day!

My hometown!
How strange to see a blog on Ipswich! Can't say I've ever seen many tourists about. It's nice to see photos of home here, although it looks like the weather is typically Autumnal , bleak, grey skies and rain! I hope you enjoyed Christchurch mansion. I was last there with my class from school! If you ever get to see the film 'Private Peaceful' it was filmed at the mansion.

We did enjoy Christchurch & our stay in your hometown area. Checked out your blog & we would excited to see that you saw Botswana as we had lived there for 5 years - it brought back great memories for us as well! Keep enjoying your travels!
