John Lee and Julie & Ian asked to see photos of inside the motor home, and Hazel and Peter both asked for some photos of pubs, so we have put together two albums on both those topics. You can check them out by clicking the link to our photo gallery in the links section above this blog.
We didn't get to Bath today - maybe tomorrow. However, we walked down to the village of Lacock. What a gem. It is the setting for many films - including the Mayor of Casterbridge, Emma, Pride and Prejudice and yes, even the first two Harry Potter movies.
The Harry Potter movies were partly filmed in the cloisters of the Lacock Abbey, and that kept all the kids happy whilst touring this National Trust site. It was most interesting, and in the early 1800s was the ancestral home of William Henry Fox Talbot, the father of photography. What an interesting and bright lad he was. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society at the ripe old age of 33, a member of Parliament, a founder of the Royal Horticultural Society and an inventor to boot. Some people are definitely at the head of the queue when God handed out talent and silver spoons.

Thanks John, now we have seen how you are travelling, and all the room you have to move around!
Your driver certainly handles the traffic, especially when its raining!
We're off tomorrow night to see the Phantom of the Opera..for the fourth time.
Hi Marg and John, I've been following your travels with interest. You certainly have managed to make a lot of family tree connections.
We're in the last stages of our planning. We leave 2 weeks today.Today is also Dan's 21st. haven't the years flown. talking about flying Dan is in Qld doing a commercial pilot theory course. the exams are set by CASA but his instructor has a biplane and gives a free joyflight to any of his students who get 100% in an exam so Dan is having a flight today.
A few Sundays ago we visited the old St Paul's Carlingford (book shop)- almost like stepping back in time.
Enjoy the last of your time in UK. Love, Penny
