Off to England

I
n late September 2009, my wife Heather and I were fortunate to be able to take advantage of a conference that Heather attended for her work. I met up with her afterwards in London and we had a 12 day whirlwind trip around part of the UK, touching on the Cotswold's, The Midlands, London etc, visiting more towns than I can remember, and shooting 1200+ photos.



This was Heather's first visit and my first return visit since emigrating to Australia in 1965, when I was 6 years old.



We had a wonderful time, I re-experiencing places of my early childhood and Heather visiting the home town of her grandfather. The weather was not too cold and the people we met warm and friendly.



Next time we would like to take at least a month, so we can do more at a less frantic pace. A GPS logger would have been helpful to identify where some photos were taken and nice wide angle lens would be good too. ;-)



We both had a great time and hopefully will visit again.

We had a brief holiday in July at Riverside Downs just south of Barrington Tops, where Samantha, Heather, Mac & Cody (our two dogs) and I had a wonderful time.The weather was great, cool at night and pleasant during the day. Our activities included bush walking, horse riding, touring around the area and relaxing.
