Today I got to try butter beer, walk through Diagon Alley and see the Hogwarts Castle. We arrived an hour late because we got on the wrong train and then had to catch another train back to the stop we missed. From there we ended up getting a taxi because the wait for the shuttle bus to and from WB Harry Potter Studio was going to be too long. Laille rang WB Studio from the train to explain what had happened and they were really good about it. I think trying butte...

Today we went for a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath. We arrived at the Victoria Coach Station at 8am and left just after 8.30am. Luckily we had packed an umbrella because it looked like we were in for a day of on, off showers. Stonehenge was impressive and we learnt a lot more about the history of the area.

The more challenging part was that we were relying on my ability to read a map, which for a...

This morning I was sitting on my bed eating my chocolate orange when Paul spotted a fox from our bedroom window. He was running around in the section that backs onto Laille's backyard. I'm not sure who the land belongs to as it has no buildings on it and is quite overgrown. The fox seemed quite timid and ran away when the dog over the back started barking. Jan said that they come out early in the morning and that he often sees them on the way to the train in the ...
