We are still in London, and when we last made contact, we had just arrived in West Hampstead and about to go to day 4 of the Test Match between England and India played at Lords. Now I will not bore you non-cricket fans out there, so I will keep this brief. I was obviously quite excited as Lords is known as the home of cricket, and I was not disappointed. Although the first 3 days had been delayed due to rain and bad weather, day 4 was perfect, both for the playe...

Hi everyone, We are now in London, enjoying their world famous 'summer'. Every day we have experienced every kind of season, from really hot to really cold, with a rainy patch thrown in for good measure. It has not deterred us from seeing any less of London's awesome city; we have just accepted it as part of the package. We arrived last Sunday and were greeted by Sonia (a friend of Leanne's through her David Lawrence days) which was great. After we settled ...

Hi everyone, Tahiti has been great, but Moorea Island was awesome. Such a beautiful island. It was like we were in a postcard. The people were really nice and it was the perfect start to this holiday. The water was amazing, swimming in cool water that was crystal clear with millions of tropical fish swimming amongst us - and that was just on a normal beach. Our mode of transport was a scooter and this allowed us to see most of the island in 1 day. Thank you...
