Tuesday 11th August later am - Boston to Skegness On the road again and more acres as far as you could see, all planted. We even saw a field planted in parsley. The trip was quite uneventful and the traffic is so well behaved, not like NZ. There are speed cameras every couple of miles, nobody hurries or nearly nobody and with the tractors doing 35mph the trip is very leisurely. We got to Skegness and found a park in a huge car park luckily and went for a ...

Tuesday 11th August is - Peterborough to Boston We both had a poor night last night as the room was so hot even with the fan that they supplied. Couldn't leave the window open as we were on the ground floor?

We checked in for our one night here and went for a walk down the main street t...

It's another High Street with no traffic or so we thought until we saw a post man and his van stop at the bollards and they dropped into the ground and away he drove. The street was wide and rambled about and there were a few people wandering but nothing li...

Monday 10th August - Bourton to Bambury We said goodbye to Jan & Bob and got on the road to Bambury Cross. The stop was to be a coffee stop plus I wanted to see the "Fine Lady upon a White Horse". We arrived almost exactly at 10am so set off down the road after paying and displaying. I think by now we must own a permenant space in some car park some place. We came across the statue of "The Fine Lady" but instead of having a white horse she and the sta...
