Week 19: Summer in East Anglia

Monday, 25 Jul 2011 | Views [348]

Steering a motor boat is a bit like steering those cars at a games arcade, or to a lesser extent, driving a car with power steering. The wheel doesn't feel like it has any tension so as soon as you turn the wheel the boat will turn though, depending ... Read more >

Week 18: Which was spent living in a slot like manner

Tuesday, 19 Jul 2011 | Views [474]

Week 13: Part Nine – The Forest of Dean (Puzzlewood) and Oxford.

Sunday, 19 Jun 2011 | Views [618]

I remember now why I was never been keen on doing a bus tour around Europe - there too many places to visit in such a short period of time. After only a week on this road trip I was confusing cities and kept forgetting what country we were in and what ... Read more >
