So I left the flat to get to Kings Cross Station via the tube.  Sitting there with my Aviators on, I got a chance to glance around without being noticed.  Yep, this is London how I remember it, zero eye contact, everyone reading that freebie crap newspaper or some paperback book from…

Sunday August 5th, 2007 The Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire.  Will, Maya and I decided to go to the Sherwood Forest and see if we can find ourselves some venison.  It also happened to be the last day of the Robin Hood Festival.  After about a two hour drive with many roundabouts …

For a change In UK we had few days of beautiful sunny weather in early May time. I went for a walk with Abby ( My German Shepherd) this beautiful morning. My lens captured few beautiful moments.Thought to share with every one.

Well, today has been an interesting day.  We slept in until about 10:00, all showered and for once dried our hair.  We headed out to do the tourist thing in Nottingham, first heading toward the castle.  We found Robin Hood, and Helen wondered " Is Robin wearing any knickers?"  W…

Ah, Nottingham Forest --  thoughts of men in tights ... merry men, Robin Hood ... forests & maidens to rescue.   NOT !!!!The forest is non existent -- a few tress along the highway is all I saw. I used to take a bus to Nottingham almost every weekend from Loughborough 15 years ago and…

On Monday we hired a car and zipped up the motorway to Nottingham, home of Brent’s good mate Ian and his wife Sandie. It’s been great for Brent to catch up with his old school buddy and for Jill to meet him! Ian and Sandie have two gorgeous children – Christopher and Evie – who have kept us…

One thing I cannot complain about within the UK is our ability to host Music Festivals.  We hold loads and loads over the Spring and Summer months and always attract the best of the worlds bands.Well, I personally love my music and go to so many gigs and festivals over a year.  The Dot-to…

Well today we went to Nottingham so that my husband could visit his dentist, aswell as us visiting more relations and showing off our daughter.  The journey up was pretty trouble free, even though my husband took a wrong turn - and we had the SATNAV on!!!  We arrived at my husband aunt an…

We spent several hours in Charing Cross A&E, while Emma explained about rabies vaccines to the nurse. Eventually, they found one dose in the bottom of a drawer, told her to phone a different hospital the next day, and turfed us out. England is no good at tropical diseases. We said a rushe…

Today we visited Nottingham Castle. Having visited Nottingham yearly for the past 10 years and never doing the sights we finally decided to visit the castle.  My husband has always moaned that his dad never took a photo of him with Robin Hood like his brother had, so I made sure this happe…

Nottingham is a bland city especially after visiting Chester, Lakes and Loch Lomond.  There's not really much to say about it - the hostel we had was crappy, but it was clean and we both slept well in our bunks sharing the room with another guy.  Went to see the Tales of Robin Hood to…
