Jolley Ole' England

August 24- Leave for London
Casey and I have been wanting to visit Kam and Summer ever since they left, in March. Finally!! After about 12 hours of flying time and a loss of 8 hours, we arrived in London at 7AM on Saturday morning. Kam and Summer picked us up from the airport and we went straight to the tube to take us sight-seeing.
 
First stop: The Tower of London
Next: The Tower Bridge
 
And after a far too quick trip to Harrod's, we rounded off our marathon first day in London by going to Les Mis at the Queen's Theatre...SO good!!
 
Our hotel was on a cute, quiet little street in Paddington...just a stone's throw from Hyde Park where Summer and I went jogging one gorgeous morning.
Day 2: Buckingham Palace,
the London Eye, Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the British Museum.
Day 3: Carnival in Nottinghill
 
On our way down to Sherborne, we stopped in the freezing rain for a picture at Stonehenge.
 
The landscape of the English countryside is so much more diverse than I expected. We went from seaside pubs and cliffs...
 
to cities that evolved around hot springs...
 
to acres of heart-stoppingly beautiful gardens.
 
Kam and Summer live in Sherborne, Dorset which is a picture right out of a fairytale book. It's no wonder that they've fallen under it's spell. 4 days there just wasn't enough.
Keep our bed warm, friends...we will be back:)

Stylish, comfortable, reasonably priced. Material is in very good quality, I wear this when weather is good or not very cold, as you know a leather jackets is not good at keeping you warm, it just gives a nice style. Anyway, I am quite satisfied to get this at cwmalls.com, the style I like and want.
