We went to see Bidford-on-Avon, a very nice town next to the Avon river with a Roman road passing through. By the way, in England, the top speed limit signs you will see are 50 o 60 but they are in miles/hour not in Km/h, so you see cars going really slow because they think the speed limit is 50 […]
Last Saturday we went to Alcester a market town of Roman origin known for its High Street, with the Town Hall built between 1618 and 1641 on one end and St Nicholas’s Church at the other end of the High Street. The clock on St Nicholas’s Church is in an unusual position on the southwest corner of the 14th-century tower […]
Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire. It is notable for its terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. The High Street is lined with buildings built from locally quarried oolitic limestone known as a Cotswold stone. Much of the town centre is a conservation area which has helped to […]
Stratford is a medieval market town in England’s West Midlands and is the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare. Possibly the most famous writer in the English language, known for his sonnets and plays such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. The town is beautiful and you can visit the birthplace house of Shakespeare and the Oval theatre where the Royal […]
Last Sunday we went to the Midlands, to visit Sara, Ben’s friend from when they were children. She lives on a very cool sheep farm and we spent the day there with her and her family. Asha has a great time playing with Betsy and Jenson, Sara’s dogs. On Monday we went to Welford-on-Avon where Ben’s mum lives. It is […]
On Saturday we went to South Hampton marina to see Ben’s brother Dominic and his partner, Lisa. They have a sailing boat in the marina. We parked the motorhome inside and we could pass the night there. After Dominic came to see the motorhome, which he liked a lot, we went to see his boat, which is pretty cool, with […]
I will summarise our time in Brighton. Jade, Ben’s niece, came to see our motorhome with her two dogs, two podencos rescued from Spain called Tara and Zorro. And then she took us to walk around the fields called The Downs, a really lovely place with beautiful views. We walked a lot and passed near the horse racecourse and farms. […]
Yesterday Monday we crossed to England through the Eurotunnel. If you never have done it is pretty full-on. First, if you have a pet you have to go to the pet reception where they check the pet’s passport and chip. Then you go to a place which looks like a toll on a highway where you take a boarding pass, […]
Yesterday Saturday, we saw the Boulogne Chateau, a castle and now the Boulogne museum. The castle was built in the 13th century by the Count of Boulogne and the son of Philip II of France. The castle is built in the eastern corner of the medieval walls surrounding the Haute Ville (literally, high town – the part of Boulogne on […]
We went walking to Boulogne which has one of the biggest ports in France. We did not take Asha because she hurt her paw playing that morning so we left her in the motorhome. There are two ways to go to Boulogne, next to the road or next to the cliff and the sea. We took this last one, it […]
