UK Road Trip

What 3 things do I love about the UK:
1. The bookshops
2. The motorways
The road trip was a success - Andrew is an amazing navigator and managed to successfully navigate us through roundabout after roundabout along with convoluted motorway junctions which required quick thinking to match the 70/80mph we were travelling at just to keep up with the traffic!
Heres the list we've ticked off:
  • Stonehenge
  • Bath
    • the crescent
    • the circus
    • the Jane Austen Centre
    • the Roman Baths
  • The Peak District
    • The Roaches
    • Buxton Spa
    • Real country walking (with mud)
    • Pub meal
  • Stratford-upon-Avon
    • Shakespeares birthplace
    • Shakespeares tomb
    • Swans
    • Saturday market
  • Warwick Castle (AMAZING)
  • Rugby
  • Lyme Regis
    • The Cobb
    • Real English fish & chips (couldn't eat them as they were so awful)
We started with a view to visiting Jane Austens haunts and some of the locations for the movies/television adaptations of her novels. This journey was completed for me, by visiting her tomb in Winchester Cathederal this morning.

In case you missed it - the first comment of this post was a joke.
