Magical Tours BusOrama to Bath!

Lazy Anni, she totally forgot to update my blog...

Yis, we went on the Magical Tours BusOrama trip to Bath! Mr Adrian Carter is one funny man, and his team of spirited workers made this trip awesomely fun-filled and actioned packed!

The first part was actually getting on the bus. Getting to Shepherds Bush on a Saturday morning is no mean feat! Once on the phenomenally huge double-decker coach we engaged ourselves into a pub-style quiz with questions that we a bit tricky, but mostly glancing out the window and dreaming of a white Christmas.

Our first stop was in the historical town of Avebury. Avebury, according to Wikipedia, is the site of several stone circles, a large henge, some stone avenues and burrows, all with the town of Avebury in the midst of it, nestled in the Wilstshire countryside.

Whilst there, the ever annoying Cam stole me and tried to make Anni sad, but instead she took a photo of snow covered poo and said it was him. They are funny funny.

Then on to Bath, where we savoured in the glories that were the town Christmas markets, sang Christmas carols in the impressive Bath Abbey and ate some great pub-grub, and overall had a lovely time.

Back onto the super-bus back to London, watching one of Anni's favourite movies, the Holiday and back to bed. All in a days work.

Lyme Park

Anni finally took me home.

Home?

Ah, Pemberley!

Lyme Park was the setting for Pemberley in the 1995 BBC mini-series adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" (My surname also being inspired by the talented author).

It was a 605km round trip from London, but overall the M1 is very scenic and the drive through the Derbyshire Dales was incredibly spectacular. The camera does no justice to the beauty that is the English countryside, nor does it provide the refreshing smell.

Also, it was great to get out of London for a change! Sometimes it feels like you get cabin fever staying inside the M25 too long.

So now it's a bit of a wait until our big European adventure! So far we've got a Greek odyssey and an Italian jaunt, with a big gap in the middle for spontaneous adventures... I am very looking forward to it!

John Mayer in Wolverhampton

Anni and Jay snuck me into the John Mayer concert up in Wolverhampton and it was amazing! We waited for-ev-er and her handbag was squashy but eventually we got in there and we met some crazy kids and wow! TJ randomly held me up every now and then.

The support act was Codeine Velvet Club... very awesome. But of course we were there for John. Ahhh. So good. He opened with "Heartbreak Warfare" which was incredible live. I think my favourite song was "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room". I liked that he played heaps of old stuff too.

The best part was when he said "I see some girl holding a cabbage patch doll up... Have I mentioned that at some stage or do you just carry him around everywhere?!" He was talking about ME!!! John Mayer noticed ME! WOO.

And now I've got some more friends on Facebook, so overall, this has been amazing!

Poole

Poole is cool! Well, the temperature was. We didn't actually do much sightseeing other than walk around the Upton Park Nature reserve, however, it was lovely just to get out of London and have a great relaxing weekend. Thanks to Bethy for having us both!
