Summertime in England


(need chilling out?! ...watch Van Morrison: Summertime in England)

Lots of time spent doing family things this summer because our daughters are now all in the UK.. and near to us with two in London.... which is great, of course.

What an interesting political landscape in the UK this summer... if interesting is the right word... Nationalists, left wing, right wing... what is the middle of the road person going to do now?

Anyway, this is our travel blog so, as we've spent a fair amount of time travelling around the English coast and more in the new 'van, have a look at what we've been up to:


Lets start our cultural tour with a visit to the Royal Albert Hall to see the, er.. Beach Boys in Concert


It's colour coordinated you know..


 Stone Globe near Bournemouth, where we see the, er.. Moody Blues in Concert..


Been here before, but too good to miss again as we head for Salisbury


A good original copy of the Magna Carta lies here..


 Then it's on to Stratford to see Othello at the RSC. Wonderful, actually. And here lies the Bard himself.

Anne Hathaway's Cottage..


In the RSC before we turn off the camera...




Jewellery making as it used to be.. the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham


The wonderful North Norfolk Coast


The longest narrow gauge railway in the country at Walsingham, they say...


Geoff's birthday in a London Blues Bar... enough said...


High House, Stafford... wonderfully maintained... pity about the ground floor...


In High House there is this gem.....Look carefully: it's the death warrant for Charles the First and there is Oliver Cromwell's' signature on the left.


And sitting on Greenwich Hill, we reflect on a summer well spent...
