27th September 2009 - Leighton Buzzard

Here I am in Leighton Buzzard. I have had a lovely weekend visiting Grandma Parsons and seeing the sights of nearby Heath and Reach and Milky Beans (a.k.a. Milton Keynes). I have had a relaxing walk among the autumn leaves and generally been monkeying around in the garden. Cumulative miles - 1621.6

The Gherkin

I love London! There are so many things to see and do, so I'm really pleased to be able to go there quite often. This time I saw the Gherkin - a big building which is all multi-coloured.

18 September 2009, London

Off to London again today - but much better weather. Deborah and I saw the Houses of Parliament and took a picture of ourselves with Big Ben in the background. Several people thought we were mad.

Cumulative mileage - 1229.6 miles

London - 15 September 2009

Today I went to London with Neil. It rained a lot. The conference was about Total Plaice, and not very interesting.

The best bit was going to Platform 9^3/4 at King's Cross Station - the one where the trains go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Cumulative mileage - 761.6 miles

Lake District trip

My first outing with one of the team! Kay took me to meet her in-laws and visit the Lake District. We had wonderful weather, took boat trips on the lakes and even did some hiking. We took in Garforth, Windermere, Keswick and Loweswater.
