The Aussies arrived

To all the friends and family of Sharon and Paul they have arrived safely however we are successfully managing to tucker them out every day.

The weather has been stunning bar a few overcast and windy days in London. Bristol has turned on the fine weather (although we are all still wearing our jumpers through the British “summer”).

Notable things we have seen and done over the last 3 days – mastered the double decker bus system in London (far cheaper than the tube and much more interesting viewing wise), attended church at All Souls in London, took a driving tour from Bristol to investigate all the nooks and crannies of Wells Cathedral, went through Cheddar Gorge, ate a proper English Cream tea (except with coffee – does that make it an English Cream Coffee?), tried Scrumpy (traditionally made cider specific to our West region), had to try some cave matured cheddar cheese of course and finally after picking Steve up from work we had a picnic at a lookout over Bristol and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

So far we have all travelled well, no murderous tendencies yet and really looking forward to getting to Snowdonia. Just a pity that our friends can’t stay longer as there is so much to see, do, talk about and just generally spend time with these fabulous people. Here are a few pics of what we have seen so far.
