Hi folks as promissed a blog has been set up this was the initial leaving the building part of our travels. The planning has been stressful lots of domestics and we eventually got there thanks to all our friends for maintaing our sanity. After several attempts at packing the car we set off on our merry way, will add photos no laughing at the poor Kangoo, heavilly laden with god knows what inside. cause we are still finding things that we didnt think we had packed. Journey was fairly straight forward but long with good company the time passed quickly. The dreaded ferry crossing for me was a delight managed a good sleep true to form ( never lost my sea legs) ... read more

We are back! After a grand total of 6 months and 2 days we arrived back into Manchester airport, to glorious sunshine and a warm welcome from Aidan's sister Ellie at the arrivals hall. We decided to change our flights to come home a couple of days earlier than planned as it was getting sooo hot in India that we were beginning to stay indoors with the aircon on full blast all day. Also, we realised that acclimitising back to the UK would be a good idea before Aidan starts work again on Monday. Aidan's Dad was not expecting us and was very shocked when his son jumped out from behind a hedge to surprise him. It is lovely to be home and we have enjoyed a few days of fishing, sleeping, driving and, especially, eating! ... read more

Hi All, Here're the photos from the Nationals. Unedited, un-named. Hope you're all recovered from last night - great night, thanks to the Politburo for organising it. The photos seem to be a bit blurred - probably from resizing or something during the upload. If you want to see a pic full-sized let me know and I'll email it through. ATFB Jess... read more

We headed off at 7am christmas eve morning and had a 7 hour drive till we got to our rented cottage in St Abbs on the Scottish Borders. It didnt take us long to get settled and we enjoyed our first meal (one of many) and some DVDs. Xmas morning we opened our pressies (we had two very excited Canadians) and then had a champagne breakfast with Bucks fizz and home made christmas crackers. Once we were completley stuffed with food we then set off out to explore the costline. We followed the coastal path for a while until we were too chilly and headed back to start on the xmas dinner. We had a massive spread for xmas dinner including the traditional turkey and yorkshire puddings and a tatsy roast lamb and vegetables. Boxing day ... read more

Well here I am back home in Falkirk and it is as if I've never been away.........it has been the best and quickest ten and a half months ever!! From my travelling experiences I can tell you that, travelling broadens the mind, expands the waist line and finally drains the bank account..........so the next step is a job then the gym. since I've been travelling I've been on 23.5 flights (the half is cause I jumped out of one of the planes) slept in 94 different beds, met hundreds of different people and been in 10 different countries and loads of stories to tell..........a great experience and would recommend it to anyone....you would not regret it if you done it!!! Highlights - learning to scuba dive, doing my sky-dive, doing the bungy jump, sleeping in swags ... read more

After I left the Isle of Skye I drove to Falkirk to visit the William Wallace monument and to couchsurf. I had a wonder couchsurfing host. She volunteered at the University (in Glasgow), in the zoology department and was kind enough to take me with her to feed the animals. I got to go "behind the scenes" and hold a snake, centipede and lizards. After staying with her and hanging out for two days, I had to return the car to Glasgow. I returned the car and took a bus back into the city. I lined up another great couchsurfing host. She is a film producer and took me to a screening the night I stayed with her. We met up with another couchsurfer at the screening. I was fortunate enough to see some good Scottish ... read more
