It was my DREAM vacation. Most people I know have always wanted to go to HA or Cuba or somewhere else, but I have always loved England. I loved your pics of England. And have found your musings and blogging topics so helpful right now in my life. I have lost my desires for anythings- my family is in a war with two different sides of a blended family and I am caught in the middle. I am too upset to even cry. I have been searching for a lifeline back to my life and your blog may have saved my sanity. There is nothing I like more than having people talk about their adventures in England, and yours is truly a God send for me right now. Thanks My husband and I went to England in 2006 too.

Just to say that in our view we drive on the correct side of the road and everyone else drives on the wrong side lol I found in extremely odd being on the wrong side of the car when I was in Alaska last year. As for the darkness at 4pm we all hate it but we still have daylight savings time for some unknown reason - left over from the war I believe. But we are quite northern on the map and November is an awfully cold and damp month. But Cornwall, Devon and Dorset have some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the country. Hope you come back when it's not raining which does happen more than you would believe lol Hiya I am glad that you enjoyed your time in England.

I have a sister who lives there (only found out about her in 91!)and so in 92 and 99 I went over to visit. The first trip was all around London and the surrounding villages and then up to Edinburgh for a few days. The next trip was to CORNWALL....I LOVED it! Suzanne isn't the road to each of the villages fun LOL...I know what you mean about winding roads! Tintagel was beautiful...it was misting when we were there but it got better as the day went along. I loved all the little villages along the coast...St. Ives...can't remember the others right now but we did get to see 'Fish and Ships Day' in one of the villages. You really expected to see pirates and wenches as the little village was centered around a stone dock with sailing ships tied up right in the middle! It felt like we were back in time...wonderful! From there the next day it was off to Devon where we stopped for Cream Tea which included two of the biggest currant scones I have ever seen. My sister then showed me the proper way to 'lay on' the clotted cream and then the fresh strawberry preserves. OH MY GOODNESS...it was HEAVEN!!! You haven't lived until you've eaten at least one of those. I'm so happy to know that we have both experienced some of the same places...no one else can appreciate things like these...including roundabouts and righ handed steering etc. I'm just so glad my brother in law did all the driving! Take care. Maura I LOVE England! I have a sister who lives there (only found out about her in 91!)and so in 92 and 99 I went over to visit.

I'm from Dorset myself and if I could make a small correction Corfe Castle isn't so much bombed out as shelled - as in by cannon balls, hence the state of it! I don't like the darkness at 4pm either and I live here! :happyflower: Glad you had such a great time, and love your photos.

I couldn't get past my ingrained instincts even sitting in the passenger seat--which felt like the driver's seat to me still. We had a tea at a little shop in a little village with scones and clotted cream. Yum! Why don't we have anything like that here!! My husband, the native, though apparently turns his nose up at any food items that feature "clotted" in their name. ~Jenny~ When we went to England, I let my hubby do all the driving since he was used to it.

I also went to Great Britain in November (1999) (also insane, I guess)and I, too, was shocked at the 4PM sunset. What is THIS all about? I thought perhaps, the end of the world was happening, and there I was in London, and I would perish without my sons, who were, happily, HOME ALONE. I checked a map of the world and latitudes and THEN I realized how incredibly far north we actually were. Kind of explains why my plane flew over Reykjavik to get there. Oh,my.
