Can't even begin to describe what an awesome day today was. Ok, so just in case you'd missed the teasers in previous blogs, we went to the new Harry Potter Studio Tour today at Levesden, which is only about 20mins from Rickmansworth. Got a bit excited with the camera (see the photo album or ... you could just watch the 8 movies, probably quicker!) Given the movies are now finished, Warner Bros have converted their studios into a (money-making) extravaganza. For...

A day in Ricky today. Technically, our day started at about 2pm after Mitch woke up. Headed out to Croxley Green for their annual fair (think Camden Show condensed down to the size of an Olympic swimming pool). There were a lot of cupcakes for sale, crockery smashing, splat the rat and may pole dancing (not to be confused with the pole dancing i did at jule's hen's night, really it was 10yr old girls in brownies dancing in their brown tracksuits twirling ribb...

It was a brief trip, as we only had parking for 2hrs, but in that time we managed to walk around the historic town (and even through some of the...

Last day in London... First day it was over 23 degrees... The majority of the day was spent cleaning up Bernie's place and then making ourselves scarce for the cleaner! Mitch and I wandered up to High St and went to Cafe Z Bar, home of the world's worst chicken burger - dry bun, battered chicken breast and cabbage - am I wrong!?! Meanwhile, across town, Ganey was picking up the newest addition to the Gane family - our little silver KIA. Back to Stokey ...
