Well, we ventured off again heading south to the famous Brighton Beach on the south coast. After arriving at our B&B which we had booked on-line, we got changed and headed off for a walk along the beachfront. We walked past Brighton Pier and looked at all the souvenir and Brighton rock shops and fish and chip shops along the way. We then headed up into an area call the Lanes, which consists of lots of narrow streets with interesting and quaint little shops...

Tuesday, we picked up our hire car and headed out of Huntingdon with all our maps, etc., and proceeded to get on the wrong road and ended up in London. Fortunately, we came off the M1 and it was near to where I used to live so I could easily find our way onto the M4 heading south west. After 5 hours, we arrived at Ken's sister Jennifer and husband George's place in Briantspuddle, Dorset. Their village is close to Troy Town, Afpuddle, Tolpuddle, Puddletown and Pi...

We arrived in King's Cross and got the tube to Leicester Square, where we picked up our Theatre tickets to see 'Thriller Live' A Celebration of Michael Jackson. From there, we got back on the tube and we had decided to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum as we thought it might rain. The museum was very interesting and we m...

During the week, Chris and Gary have been taking us on local trips around Cambridgeshire. We spent a delightful day in St. Ives which is a really picturesque little town on the Great River Ouse. One of the main features of St. Ives is the Chapel that is built right in the middle of the bridge which dates back to around the 15th century. There are only about three or four of these chapel bridges left in England so it is extremely rare. The white swans looked b...
