Hi Everyone, Well we arrived in not so sunny Wales yesterday afternoon, only cloudy and did try a couple of times to rain but managed to stay dry for us. We left Birmingham just after 9.00am after hugs from John and Maris. We put the address of the Bed and Breakfast we had pre-booked in Australia into "Sally" and followed her instructions. We travelled mostly on motorways but the countryside still very pretty, sally took us down the M5 and into Wales over th...

We decided to catch the train into the city centre to go to the Art Gallery to see the display of the "Staffordshire Hoard". In 2009 a man was using a metal detector in a field near Lichfield, he found some gold and silver treasure pieces that dated back ...

Hi Everyone, We've had a lovely couple of quiet relaxing days with John and Maris catching up on the washing too.

Jo had gone to Australia in 2007 but she had to stay with Suzanne as we were travelling to the east coast at the time in our caravan. It was great to finally catch up with her at last...

Hi Everyone, We woke to another misty morning again quite cool but pleasant. We left The York House hotel by 9.30am and Sally helped us to navigate the morning traffic out of York. We headed east towards the coast to Hornsea, the sky was still cloudy so the ocean didn't look as pretty as it could, the air was fresh as we walked along the sea front, beach is partly grey sand and pepples. We next headed further south to Withernsea where we again got out to walk...
