England Day 1: We Set Off. And Arrive in The England Chronicles - June 2013
We had an overnight flight from Charlotte to Heathrow on Saturday the 15th, which I said last time I wasn't sure I'd do again... but it's actually the only way that makes any sense. You fly all n...
And oooOOooo, I am not so crazy about reality. Our Big England Trip was wonderful, and I am very sad that it's over. Till next time. Because there will be a next time. Probably not soon given the...
well, this is interesting..... in shiny things
I've come over from The Other Place, where I've been for nearly 12 years now. Not that I'm giving up on The Other Place --- it's been in its death-throes for nearly as long as I've been writing t...
#24 -the england chronicles wrap-up in The England Chronicles - October 2010
I cannot believe I’m actually just about done. I’ve really enjoyed writing about the trip, and also enjoyed all the great comments. I think I’ve put off finishing since once it’s done…. it’s over...
england countryside #23- nottingham in The England Chronicles - October 2010
The last day….waaaaahhhh!! This was Saturday, October 30. We’d decided to spend the day in Nottingham, which is only about ten miles from the marina. We’d initially thought we’d be spending a lot...
england countryside #22 – stonehenge in The England Chronicles - October 2010
The last stop of the last day in Wiltshire…. waaahhhh!!! Stonehenge was, as I think I said before, much more touristy than I expected. It’s not like Avebury, where you can go wander at your leisu...
england #21 – the glastonbury tor in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Could it actually be another chapter in The England Chronicles at last??? I do believe it is! And sadly there aren’t too many more to go. We’re down to Glastonbury and Stonehenge, and then the la...
england #20- the barge, another horse, marlborough in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Part ten zillion, five hundred and twelve of The England Chronicles. After sadly leaving Avebury, we headed to The Barge. Baker B kept telling us we HAD to go see The Barge. The Barge is a pub o...
england #19 – avebury and more white horses in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Yes, at last it’s another chapter in the England Trip Chronicles That Have No End! Oh, well, I’ve only been back for three months. No rush! And of course my titles are confusing in that they have...
england #18 – the uffington white horse in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Wednesday morning we were off bright and early, hitting the Roadside Service Starbucks for our caffeine and breakfast, and onwards to see the Uffington White Horse. Baker B has done all sorts of ...
england #17 – wednesday in bath in The England Chronicles - October 2010
To everyone who expressed doubt that we could see Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury, a bunch of white horses, and oh, how about the Salisbury cathedral too?? All in the same day…. why, yes, we DID somewh...
england #16- we jaunt off towards wiltshire in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Tuesday we didn’t get off to a very early start, partially due to a broken modem crisis. We didn’t have internet access at our London lodgings, but I’d taken the netbook with me and just carried ...
I don’t know how I could have forgotten to include a Curly Winged Swan picture in the last entry. Before we leave the canal and go wandering around town, here’s the very pretty Curly Winged Swan ...
england #14- walking to long eaton in The England Chronicles - October 2010
SO. We decided that our first Marina Day would be easy. And stress-free. We’d just hang out on the boat, take a little walk perhaps, chill out. Watch the DVD about Canal Boat Operation and determ...
england #13 – we continue to Sawley in The England Chronicles - October 2010
I’ve decided to number these England Countryside entries separately from the London ones. Since the two parts of our trip were so totally separate. Maybe that will be a little less confusing. Hah...
england #12- the countryside -we head for Sawley in The England Chronicles - October 2010
We bid farewell to London bright and early on Sunday Oct. 24th, to start the Next Leg of Our England Adventure. Well, we bid farewell to our hosts bright and early, and sadly, because we really d...
england # 11…. the last London Day in The England Chronicles - October 2010
enter link description hereWe could not BELIEVE how the week flew by. Sadly, Kim and I set off one last time for Stratford Station, and onwards to the St. Paul’s area again, to walk over Millenn...
england #10 – could it be near the end??? in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Of the London Tales, at least? So we can move on to the countryside?? Maybe! Of course I’m having Internet Issues tonight and suddenly it seems to be flickering on and off, so this may be waiting...
england #9 in The England Chronicles - October 2010
I REALLY need to quit dilly-dallying around and FINISH MY TRAVELOGUE. Or whatever this is. Because it’s gone on forEVER and soon it will be Christmas (I’m finding that even harder to believe than...
england #8- brought to you by the letter kew in The England Chronicles - October 2010
But first…. Yeah. And it’s getting much worse before it gets better. We are experiencing an Arctic Oscillation, apparently. I have no idea what that means. But it’s not good. We’ve probably g...
england # 7- victoooooooria, victooooooria…. in The England Chronicles - October 2010
You should really play this while viewing the pictures of Buckingham Palace and vicinity, to get the full effect: It certainly was playing in MY head the entire time! We set off bright and early...
england #6-is it really true there are elephants.. in The England Chronicles - October 2010
…and lions too in Piccadilly Circus? Well, no, there are not. At least not that I saw. But Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square and Soho etc etc etc were, of course, just as fantastic as all t...
england #5, and a ferry ride to greenwich in The England Chronicles - October 2010
After the London Eye, we took advantage of another London Pass Attraction, and rode the City Cruise ferry to Greenwich. Since everything took about a quadrillion times longer than we expected, we...
england trip #4 – london in The England Chronicles - October 2010
Yes, apparently it IS going to take me forever. Oh, well, what’s the hurry? Not much else going on – including our very quiet Thanksgiving involving me, my father, and Baker B going to Cracker Ba...
england trip #3 -london in The England Chronicles - October 2010
This will be mostly pictures because I can’t seem to get around to writing real entries. If I wait till I feel like writing something, I’ll never finish. Too bad I wimped out on NoJoMoWhatever- t...
