Australia!

Took Hilary to the airport yesterday (i was still in my jammies, it was very early) and then spent the rest of the day doing laundry (some how i ended up doing everybodies laundry .....) and cleaning up the camping stuff. Im off to the dentists in a few minutes (need to stay on the NHS register) and then need to do some random things like picking up my contact lenses from the opticians, getting some Singapore and Australian dollars, phoning the water board and such - fun times!
But on a more positive note - im off to Australia on Saturday!!!! yay!! Okay i have absolutely no money left to actually do anything whilst im over there, because, well, hilary made us go to like 5 different countries whilst she was here, but oh well.

Hilarys Visit

Well, after ten years away Hilary is finally back in England, and what a crazy trip we have planned, im sure i will be completely exhausted by the time she leaves, but then i get to rest in Australia for a month so im good with it!!

Today we are heading back to Hampton Court for the flower show, (this will be my third time this year - i should have gotten a season ticket)
Tomorrow will be off to the Isle of Wight via Brighton (apparently its the Folk Festival this weekend)
Then Monday we head out on our trip, to Bath then to Wales (Swansea-ish area) were we are camping for the night
Tuesday will be from South Wales up to Holyhead (thats still in Wales incase you didnt know)Camping there for the night
Wednesday we get the morning ferry to Dublin (Republic of Ireland) and make our way up to Belfast were we have a hotel waiting for us (camping in Wales can be a smelly experience, i know)
Then Thursday after hanging out in Ireland for the day we get the evening ferry to Scotland (Stranraer) where we are camping that night
Friday will be driving the 2 or 3 hours to Edinburgh and hanging out there and camping the night
Saturday we are heading back into England to the Peak district and staying at a Premier inn (Again i figure it will be luxury compared to camping?)
Before heading back to Enfield on Sunday (Hopefully in time for evening church)
Monday we are hoping Kayleigh is free so we can all day trip to France (its been a long time coming!)
and then the last Tuesday will be seeing the sites in London and (hopefully) seeing a play at the Globe (no we're not going to buy a cushion were gonna stand in the peasants section like the commoners we are!

And then off to the airport on Wednesday at early'oclock!

Crazy days!!
