Stonehenge


Stonehenge is a great part of English heritage. The monument evolved over 5000 years ago and is aligned with the rising and settling of the sun. The exact purpose of the stone circle is still a mystery. In earlier times the stones looked like the picture bottom right. The stones were transported over 240miles to be erected here (near Salisbury) and each stone is thought to weigh about 45tonnne!!

*note* doesnt the Rav 4 look great arked next to the porsche!!!

Bath

We visited the beautiful city of Bath on Wednesday as Sam had the day off! Its only 1/2 an hour away from the farm. What amazing buildings and history! Parts of he city being 2000 years old. We did the hop on/off sight seeing tour learning a lot about the city, we also visited the bridge with shops on it- the only one in the world like it (pictured top, 2nd along). We went to the Roman Baths and spent a few houurs amounst the shops. It was a very very cold day, and semi wet as you can see.

Boyton, Warminster


We arrived in Boyton, our new place of residence on the 24th Nov. Richard (Sam's boss) picked us up from the Salisbury train station. We spent a few nights with him, wife Nicky and children Emily and George. Went to the local pub for a few drinks (less than 2 minutes drive).

Moved into the Bungalow, 26 Nov (pictured middle top). The lovely old Church is just across the road. We can see it from the window! And the cute ginger piggies are at the end of the road :)
Our flatmates in the bungalow are Jarrod (a kiwi) and SP (from South Africa). Both guys are great fun and our age!!

Last Night in London

We travelled back to London by train, staying again in our lovely little Easy Hotel in Paddington. Just when we decided to pack an extra 5kg of luggage into the suitcase, the wheels break. It now has to be carried. Lucky Sam!!! That evening we met up with Cousin Brad where we enjoyed a drink at the London's Hard Rock Cafe followed by a yummy tea at Shakespeare's Pub in Victoria. Walked home through the Winter Wonderland, amazing selection of rides, a few which we did!! (Roller coaster, giant drop and huge fairiswheel)
