quick update before we head north

This morning we are catching the train to edinburgh, where get 2 days to our selves, then we're going on a tour of the isle of skye, then we'll make our way back down the west coast, stopping in york, so that should be great fun!
Hopefully we will bw able to meet up with my next door neighbour, who we found out is over here (ok, well he could be seen as our nextdoor neighbour's son, but he's still our neighbour!) and that should be great fun!!
Well, i'll talk to you from Scotland next!!

Update from the West of England

Well, i have found a computer and spare few minutes, so i thought I'd fill you in on the happenings!
the last 2 weeks we were in Europe, where we all had a fantastic time! met lots of people, took lots of photos and bought several postcards!
we got back on Friday afternoon and walked to a hotel near paddington station and after climbing ~100 stairs went to sleep! then the next morning we were up down that stairs and on the train at 10.30 and headed for Bath, in the west of England (for those of you playing at home, that's near Bristol) were we hired a car and drove to wells (about an hours drive), and set up shop at this fantastic B&B.
we met up with mums church choir director who loves this place and suggested it to us, and have spent a few slightly chilly but entertaining days here. we had dinner last night at the pub where a lot of the scenes of hot fuzz was filmed, and that has been fun looking round for locations around this little village where other scenes might have been shot!
we're heading off this morning back to London, and then we'll spend the next few days in London seeing the sights, then head up north (yes, its going to be coooold!) to Scotland by train, spend a few days up and around there, then work our way down the east coast when we will spend a day or two in London then head home
got to go now - i haven't packed my bag :P
