A Taste of Britain
I am almost frightened to see what my visa looks like, but I shall discover the total damage tomorrow hopefully. Ellen and I just completed our Taste of Britain tour. Fiona will appreciate the fact that my Tour Director and Driver was called Michael. We called our guide "Mike" and our driver "Mick".
It has been an interesting four days. We departed London and drove to York, where Ellen and I had the pleasure of walking upon the tower rooftops of York Minister. We also had a lovely stroll through the city, but I did realize that walking up 275 steps after travelling for over a month is not a bright idea and I was the last person to return to the bus.
I also noticed that Mike and Mick teased me for wearing my Italia jumpers and shirts. It was only through talking to Ellen did I realize that perhaps I should not wear such things in France.
Ellen and I were very excited about the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh and I was able to video tape some footage from the show. Although the show runs for about 90 minuites, I probably only have about 5 minuites worth of the show. I kept thinking that I should not tape much, because something better might come along.
We also had a chance to stroll through Grasmere where we saw William Wordsworth's grave and a visit through Stratford Upon Avon where I was able to relive fond memories of my father and I and explore new things with Ellen. We took several pictures along the way. I think it would be best if you were to read her blog as it is more detailed than mine and I am a wee hungry now.
I think I will have more opportunities to explain things in greater detail once I am at home and have started posting pictures. I can reflect on my feelings at the time and how they may have changed since I returned.
