From London Brigde to the Shenley village are only 12 stations and  the First Capital Connect, fast and simple train is very comfortable way to travel. But I didn't want to spent all my time in London, there are many views to discover and many paths to try around Shenley, Elstree & Boreham…

What's so special about this horse? Well, for one, I have his genealogical tree going back to 1918... I can barely think of mine beyond 1920! Secondly, Pumpkin's late sire was a stallion named More Pokey and his last job was to... you know, the Queen's mares. No, he didn't die on the job! Apparent…

LANDA green belt of sacred land surrounds this town making it one of the few remaining towns in England that is unable to expand outwards. Evidence has been uncovered showing how this cradling belt of exuberant enrichment has been continuously populated for well over five thousand years and is now …

Well I am today anyway. I've just finnished arranging the last part of my trip to Asia. I was most worried abou this part just because of the extreme culture difference, which everyone, books and websites say you need to be weary off.  I've sorted out my first few days in Thailand, and ha…

2 days until we go! Packing going surprisingly well and I have resisted my usual urge to take 5 paris of shoes.

Well I am now down to 5 days left....... The time is going so quickly now, been wishing the time away since August and now the time is just flying past!! The nerves are setting in now. I am on my last day at work today (hence internet access abuse!) and don't intend on doing much in the way of wo…

This was a very early start! Mark and I were up around 0600 to finish packing, have breakfast and take the kitties to the cattery for their holidays before we headed to Loch Lomond to meet Mum and Dad and apparently surprise Dad...as far as he was aware, we were going on holiday today to Thail…

Judit slept at us, coz we live only 10 mins far from the airport, and since our plane was leaving at 6 am, it was much easier for her to get to our place in the evening before, than to get to the airport at 4 am. We slept only a couple of hours and we already had to woke up, but it wasn't as hard a…

Stas, my gorgeous little Polish friend, is looking interested through a kiddie's picture book: 'look', he points out, 'this is a frog!' (or I think he is saying this, as my Polish is limited to a couple of words...). Olga, my friend and Stas'm mum, makes the frog's noise: "…

Dropped the car off and copped a £50 bill for the scratch - happy that they weren't going to gouge us for more like I thought they were going to.  So yesterday and today we've been staying with Mel in Earlsfield.  Tomorrow morning we have to get up very early - about 4am - as we are …

So i was ambitious with this trip. I thought, sure 3 weeks wouldn't be a problem in London since i had no intention of staying inside the small flat to the kids auntie for that long. After all i had lots of plans and the kids were also spending a week with their dad so i figured we could get fed up…

on my last day in scotland, i encountered the scottish weather for the first time in its not so pleasant form :) but it was a good incentive to try some more fringe festival shows. learned from my mistakes of day one i queued at the half price booth and used the waiting time to schedule my day. th…

My parent's live in a national park, the Sussex Down's. I went to stay with them this weekend before I jet off to Kenya and I wanted to see the difference in Light pollution between the two places. This shot was taken at about midnight on the 1st of September looking north. As you can see the light…

  The next day we got a lovely english breakfast! Great service I must say! Today we went back to the Albert dock because we wanted to explore The Beatles Story very much. The Beatles Story is the ultimate tribute to Liverpool's most famous sons, John Lennon, Paul McCartn…
