lost in the house

We have arrived in Honley to an empty house(june29). David and Jenny are in London and have been gracious enough to allow us into there home while they are awayafer we left London we made our way to Cambridge, our first real taste of being on our own. We camped just outside of the city center in a small community called Cherry Hinton at the local caravan club. Despite the rainy weather it went off without a hitch. Cambridge proved to be a beautiful city and very accessible by foot. We had a few pints at a local pub and enjoyed a bit of culture as we took in the fitzwilliam musuem. A beautiful collection of modern works including Picasso and Lowery to the much older works dating back many centuries. They also had an extensive collection of antiquities from around the globe. Anything from Egyptian tombs to a medieval armoury. After a chain reaction of events the morning of the 27th we narrowly escaped missing our coach trip to Bradford. After 7 hours on the bus we met Charles at the Bradford interchange and he drove us back to his place where there was a gaggle of kids awaiting our arrival. We never went into Bradford as we heard it was a bit tough so we stuck to the local pubs and pool has. Charles and Pauline took us on a lovely walk our first evening and we enjoyed some Boddingtons. The following day we went walking in the forest with him, his daughter Libby and there dog flo. We had lots of fun and took her to the park. She is just about the same age as Brayden. Nathan also had another daughter (age70, Charlotte. They clung on to us and were sad when we had to leave. Joan was doing well and lives in an attached house around the back. We will spend the weekend in honley and enjoy the views and this beautiful home. Monday we will make our way down to Shrewbury where we will stay with Norman and Elizabeth before flying off too Ireland for a week. Can't wait to write more..Talk to you soon..A+M
