    Aug 29, 2010

    Aug 28, 2010

    As in the “Battle of Hastings” country. Nothing about this trip went as planned. We missed our train. The train we did end up on was packed and we had to stand with our bicycles at the end of the car. We wanted to visit the Herstmonceux Castle and Science Center, but we were blocked by a Medieval Festival. We wanted to …

  • 25 August 2010 The Gruffalo

    Aug 25, 2010

    “Oh, help! Oh, no! It’s a Gruffalo!” We were introduced to Julia Donaldson’s classic picture book a couple of years ago when Grand-mère gave Sam a copy of the book for Christmas.

    Aug 22, 2010

    This weekend it’s been rainy, cloudy, and grey with a chance of grey. Friday night I developed a mysterious toe pain. The mystery is that out of the blue, it hurt to walk on my left foot. I have my suspicions, and we’ll see what the NHS doctor says this week. So between the weather and the foot, hiking was right out. …

  • Canterbury Tales

    Aug 21, 2010

    It took us three trains and three hours to make our pilgrimage from Brighton to Canterbury. These are our tales. If you’re expecting something bawdy, you’ll need to read Chaucer.
