And of course, I'll *have* to add Cardiff!

I love the British museum and the National History Museum...great for killing a few hours and free and the South Bank is a nice walk from The London Eye towards London Bridge...and there's a fab pub which does great pies (at a decent...don't need to take out a mortgage to eat...price too)called Doggett's (they do proper beer too...unlike the fizzy stuff disguised as beer you guys have)<BR/><BR/>Course if you're doing a dream list I'd add Cardiff to that...a fabulous place to visit and it just happens to be the location in which they film Doctor Who and Torchwood. ;-)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842637349578417903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20830176.post-20498351708156403122008-06-12T01:13:00.000+01:002008-06-12T01:13:00.000+01:00Those srawberries look wonderful! We had our first...Those srawberries look wonderful! We had our first nearly ripe berry in our garden, which my hubby was doting over it like an expectant father. Until, that is, our *dog* ate it! <BR/><BR/>My son, the WWII buff, is very empressed that you still have WWII stuff lying about - even if it *is* a ticking bomb ;D<BR/><BR/>Love the pix from the concert (though I would have loved to have the soundtrack to go with it ;)<BR/><BR/>And to answer your question about where we're heading in the U.K. - every place we can fit into a 2 - 3week holiday! Tower of London, Whitechapel (was a huge JtheR buff as a teen), the Imperial War Museum, Sherwood Forest, Hadrian's Wall, Stonehenge (the biggest henge in the world, as Eddie Izzard says ;), Houses of Parliment, Chislehurst Caves, Roman Baths, York Dungeon - OK, this is obviously a dream list, as it's not complete and there's no way we'd have enough time to go everywhere we want. Heck, this list didn't even get me to Ireland! So maybe I should be asking: "What would you recommend?"<BR/><BR/>And we actually had some round-a-bouts where we lived in California, so we're good there (though our fist few attempts were a bit dodgy!)Firefly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742562729182149224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20830176.post-44136753036945717172008-06-09T19:53:00.000+01:002008-06-09T19:53:00.000+01:00I wish I was there for your weekend instead of min...I wish I was there for your weekend instead of mine! Sounds like an incredible concert. Bizarre to hear about the WWII bomb! Hope that they got the ticking to stop! That's just to creepy to think about!<BR/><BR/>Jacob is doing his best at the campout, and that's all we ask of him. Florida has some of the biggest, freakiest bugs that you will find anywhere. We have roaches that grow 3-4 inches long and FLY! I am bringing all of the kids home on Saturday, so he has a long week ahead of him. I think he will be OK, once he gets a regular tent set up. <BR/><BR/>The camp you were talking about is the original location that Lord Baden Powell took a handful of boys to, and taught them the basics of living outdoors and survival. My Jacob is a computer nerd who really wants to be like the other boys, but it is just much harder for him. I gave him two disposable cameras to use this week. So I will post more stories and pictures when I can.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't help that he is in gator country either!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126152073351616663noreply@blogger.com
