What a week
View February 16th - 21st in a larger map
We stopped on the waterfront at Portishead on Tuesday night. From there it was on to Taunton to see Alex’s great Aunt, and then on to Glastonbury for the night. On Thursday we walked up Glastonbury Tor in the pouring rain and then had a great afternoon with members of the Wilsthire Whites in Trowbridge. We spent that night in a pub near Wooten Bassett with cousin Susannah, and then slept in the car park! It’s all glamour and sophistication on this trip you know!
On Friday we moved from South West to South East and our great capital. Lee Valley was our base on Friday and after a fabulous Greek breakfast with Anastasia, we moved on to Crystal Palace in South London. We were camped right under the TV mast at Crystal Palace so no need for a TV aerial – you just have to shut your eyes and TV appears on the backs of your eyelids! We had a great night out in Crystal Palace on Saturday night with some of the London crowd, and then enjoyed Sunday dinner with more of our London friends before moving on to Ashford in Kent, ready to cross the channel later this morning.
Thanks to everyone we’ve seen this week for feeding us and giving us a great send off; Phil and Kingsley, Babs, Roger and Mary, Richard, Rebecca, Emily and bump, Susannah and all at the Peterborough Arms, Juliet, Anastasia – the provider of the fabulous Greek breakfast, Lucy, Dave and Poppy, Helen, Lou, Becks, Jackie, Sharon and Ranj.
Special thanks to Sharon and Ranj for finding a venue for Sunday lunch which resulted in two celebrity spots in 20 minutes; Tim Lovejoy from Something for the Weekend, and Sam or Mark from kids tv (a poor man’s Ant and Dec!) I’m sure we made their day, pointing and staring as we did!
We’ve sorted out the comments on the blog now, so you should be able to leave comments and questions with a little less hassle!
Crossing the channel today then heading for Normandy via Amiens and Rouen...
