10th august. Yesterday morning after breakfast, we had to go and buy train tickets for London for today. Got those in Wareham. So afterwards we drove to Swanage, in the rain, which was a bit annoying, but it was cool and kinda what I expected the weather to be like. In Swanage, we walked around, looking at some places that Verity and David knew from back in the day, but also places Trudy's gran and mum had been and stuff. We went to No. 76, where Trudy's grea...

Today wasn't quite as enjoyable as it could have been. We were supposed to go to Oxford for a while before departing to Swanage, but..... It started with Trudy realising that she had lost her passport. Great. So we frantically called all the places we could think of that it could have been handed in, but no luck. Step 2 involved cancelling the passport. So we had to take a slight detour to London today, and visit the consulate. We left around 11.30am, to Lon...

8th august G'day Mate, it's Trudy here, all the way in the UK. Crikey! it was hotter than the red centre today.

This morning we woke up at 5 again, which was apin, but mangaed to get back to sleep until around 7. I had a banana and honey tst sandwich for breakfast...haha cause everyone neede to know that. So we spent some of the morning, looking at some maps, and some different places to see and do. We left around 10.30, and made our way to this small village called Bliston, where we were going to go to a Canal mueseum, but lucily enough, there was a festival going on. ...

6th August This morning was great as still recovering from jet lag allowed me to awake perfectly frustrated at 4.55am. FANTASTIC! Anyway after waiting for about a half hour for sleepy head (Trudy) to return from her mini state of hibernation, we had breakfast and then decided to go for a walk. So we took some pictures of the local cathedral, some weird street signs, some of the little stone walls you see all over the place, and a little grey squirrel, or tre...
