Can't think of a catchier title than that however we didn't meet a man with seven wives or kits or kats or whatever the nursery rhyme says. We did, however meet with a break in the weather and some beautiful scenery!!We took the coast from Tavistock to Truro before heading across to St. Ives. The rain prevented us from a lot of sight seeing but this is how the people live in England. The road took us down steep narrow passages to little towns set in pic...

It was sad to leave Swanage but we weren't going very far. Green fields and rolling countryside contrasts sharply with the steep white cliffs turning to burgundy as you got closer to Sidmouth.  We've had every kind of weather from beautiful sun (even had the air conditioner on for a while) to nasty wind and rain (hence the full rain gear - pants and all!). Still we both kind of enjoy the wild side.   Walking along the coast with wind whipping up so ...

Comfy bed, great place to stay close to what we want to do. Who could ask for anything more? Well, we woke up to rain (again) so I put in a word for sun.... Lo and behold the sun shone all day in spite of the nasty clouds on the horizon!Had to go to Bournemouth Airport to trade in the car (turned out to be a good deal). Not a trip we had planned but turned in to a bit of an adventure. Sleep roads from Swanage to the ferry then 5 mins. across the channel to P...

Seems everyone says things are  "brilliant" here in England, even when it's raining!   The GPS now speaks the Queen's English again but we really didn't need it for the short trip to Bath. (in spite of Don's suggestion we did not run over it twice and resort to a map alone for the duration). Found our way to the River Avon & parked 2 blocks from the city centre. No Problem!Touring the Roman Baths was interesting. The have done a good job of...

What about this seems odd to you? We had seats in Row 13 ( Air Canada Kelowna to Calgary). Narrow little commuter plane that, after struggling down the isle, we found had only 12 rows. It seems the 13th row consists of two seats facing backwards at the front of the plane. Does that mean that 13 comes before 1 when Air Canada is trying to 'organize' things?. No under seat storage, they don't recline and they have no tray tables.... and did I mentio...
