Update re our blog

Hi all,
You'll have noticed we fell down a little with our travel blog in September - and we're now back home in Tassie. BUT Edie and I, in particular, are determined to share at least some pics from the rest of our trip - even if we don't manage much in the way of commentary. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jen

England revisited 2

Becky took us - and Paddington - on a quick drive past Buckingham Palace
Edie: "I swore I saw the Queen wave at me!"



Edie: "We saw huge marine skeletons. The lady who found a lot of them was only 11 when she found the first! They called her the fossil lady."

Della: "The most amazing thing was a big room with a big, big dinosaur skeleton! WOW! Yes, it was forty something steps from tail to head!"

With cousin Stella at Dunstable in Bedfordshire
Della: "Stella's house is very pretty with little delicate things. She's also got a lovely little garden. It's got flowers everywhere, a nice little walking path, and the sun makes it look even nicer."

Edie: "We went on a huge walk through the downs. It was great, we saw farmyard animals and saw a group of trees in the shape of a cathedral (we walked right through). IT WAS AMAZING! We stopped at a pub and then we walked back through the muddy grass and autumn leaves

Matthew and the girls enjoyed Stella's stash of classic books

Visiting Angela and George at Gravesend in Kent. Matthew stayed in this house as a kid, when Angela's father was still building it

Our last stop on The Big Trip was with Chris and Marion in Kent. We had a wonderful last couple of days with them, including a visit to Matthew's aunt Margaret. This pic was taken just before we headed to Heathrow for the long trip home
