Well, the big day had finally arrived...we were going to Cadbury World!! So excited.... It was an early start for a Sunday morning...we were meeting at the train station at 9:20am. It had been quite cold overnight, as it has done for a fair bit of the time we've been here, but it didn't quite warm up as we would have hoped. At 9am in the morning, as we were leaving, it was -4C!!!!! Anyhow, met at the train station and ended up running for the train as the ...

Our day was spent at Warwick Castle. We arrived around 10am to a sunny but slightly chilly day. We wandered to the new play area, which looks awesome, but there were already kids on it so we thought we probably shouldn't push them off! We looked through some of the exhibitions, including The Kingmaker (where Siobhan was a bit scared in parts and had to hold Emma's hand...okay tightly squeeze Emma's arm..) and Royal Weekend (much more sedate). Then we decided ...

We decided to visit Oxford - we've never been before and it takes less than an hour on the train from where we are...well, should do!

We headed for the tourist information place and bought a map with info for a walking tour of Oxford - Tara was thrilled!! We visited many of the old buildings around Oxford (and mis...

We've had two fairly big days...well, kind of... Yesterday, we met in town and went to the Herbert Museum and Gallery and had a look at the history of Coventry (from the 1100's up to now - including an old school irish dancing dress!) and also Lady Godiva - did the infamous ride really happen? Also had a wander through the Cathedral again. Then we went for beer! Our first English beer...well for this trip at least. We then caught the bus and visited Pat, Gina,...

Well, we got here after what seemed like forever! When getting the next flight in Singapore, Emma and I had to remove everything...shoes and jumpers too! The lady thought it was hilarious! I don't think the people behind us did! But we were upstairs on the new A380. While there is a bit of extra leg room, the main thing was the entertainment options are AWESOME! Everything is on demand and there are 100's of movies, TV shows and CD's to choose from. You can buil...
