We were on our way through LA last time we wrote, and had just waved to the stars before pulling up in a state park to camp for the night with just some rabbits for companry. This was a money saving move and frankly we were both very stiff in the morning especially evan who slept in the boot of a tiny car!! We took a relaxing drive up the Pacific Coast Highway which is very beautiful and stopped off at San Simeon , former home of William Randolph Heart, who in in...

So Evan left you in Graceland where we had a wicked time... and from then we ventured south through Mississippi. The guide bookwarned us that this states is very poor and sure enough we drove through towns where the shops were boarded up and there was no one about. We drove parallel to the river and in fact had our lunch by the river where we watched huge boats haul cargo at snails pace. We cut the corner off Arkansas and entered Louisiana. Our first stop was Lak...

Fortunately being immensely intelligent we were immediately accepted in the area and waltzed back out for some Thai food at a local restaurant, which in keeping with everywhere else did huge portions where one...

I think we last left you languishing in Sheffield, where I was busy eating evan's parents out of house and home, seeing as I didn't have to fit into a bridesmaids dress anymore! We continued to have a lovely time in Sheffield, my parents came over from Wales and took us for lunch, and we had a lovely picnic round at Tom, Judy and Emma's house where we played with Neil and Beth's baby Jackson and ate a lot of food. This was followed by much frivolity in Sheffield ...
