- Settling in...
It’s been about 24 hours since I have arrived in Leeds. To my pleasant surprise, someone was at the Leeds Bradford Airport to pick me up! He was a very nice (and handsome, but shhh) guy named Joe from Leeds Posted by lmckenn6 in A Broad Goes Abroad | Sep 18, 2009

- London day 2
So today Kaitlyn and I had another eventful day. We started by taking the tube to the London Bridge stop. We walked over it...it was really nothing special. We then walked to the tour of London which was really interesting...there Posted by erincadden in We Are Not Teachers Anymore | Sep 17, 2009

Under a Spreading Chestnut Tree …
The sun’s shining and it’s conker time here in the southwest of England. Now … if you’re saying, “What on earth is a conker?” you are obviously not an old Brit.

We peer into the narrow lane between our cottage and the dozen seemingly built on the same piece of land. Sunshine – a perfect reason to test the South-West Coastal Path that runs across our harbour and every other Posted by KimSte in Wearytravellers in the UK | Sep 16, 2009
- On the Lookout for Pirates
Sheer cliffs, tiny sheltered harbours with secret caves, and wild seas with hidden reefs - the perfect home for those pirates of Penzance.
We are on the search for pirates in the deep darkest reaches of Cornwall, searching every fishing village Posted by KimSte in Wearytravellers in the UK | Sep 16, 2009
- The Queen awaits...
In about 6 hours, I will either be leaving my house for the airport, or I will most likely be there. I figured I would write a little something before I left, to do a mind-dump, if you will.

The sweat pours down my face, dripping onto the muddy track.
My breathless huffing and puffing scares the bird life.
Still only half way up the Lustleigh Cleave (read cliff) and another hours’ climb to reach the top.
