We hope you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Years. We are off the Scotland, Edinburgh for New years. Will post photos when we get back xoxoxoxo

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!!!

The Bungalow Crew!!

There are 4 of us living in the Bungalow:

This is Sam and SP (from South Africa) in the kitchen
(That doesn't happen too often hehe)
SP, Jared and Sam playing cards
Jim Mosey is defiantly the favourite game
At the local having a few pints (take note of the dog in the background-everyone brings their dogs to the pubs)

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.

Bungalow Baking

While the boys have been at work, I have been busy cooking and preparing meals!! The top photo is my chicken sti-fry (Mum will be impressed as it has over 7 different sorts of fresh veges). The bottom photo is my choc cake and biscuits!mmmm
Bet you all want to come to the Bungalow now!!!!

Farmer As!!!

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)

Great Chesterford

Today Sam and I took the train from Hounslow into London to catch the national express train to Cambridge. We had 1 detour on the way as we needed to swap trains and we hopped on a train 1 minute too early, ending up at Stansted airport. Took a few more trains to make it to our destination. We stayed with Eve's parents, Chris and Henry King at the beautiful Mill House. Had a lovely

time. We also walked around the cute village of Great Chesterford.

All Blacks VS England

Today we were very excited to be heading to Twickenham Rugby Stadium to see the All Blacks take on England. We left our hotel in London and made our way on the underground to Hounslow where our lovely Days Inn hotel was. Shared a taxi with a couple of English rugby supporters to a great English pub. Had a few Guinness and walked to the stadium. We were lucky enough to see the All Blacks drive right past us in there bus!!! The atmosphere was incredible with 85 thousand people singing and cheering for England. We were a bit out numbered but had a few kiwi supporters around us. The All Blacks winning 19-6! The Black ferns played the English female rugby team after. Very interesting to watch as they also did a great haka. Got lost when we tried to walk home to our hotel after the game! Had an amazing time :)
