A Trip Up The Hill and a Ride on West Somerset Steam Railway

After our trip down to Minehead and a visit to RNLI we headed up the hill where I took the glorious sunset pictures in 2006. Unfortunately this time the weather had deteriorated by the time we reached Minehead so it was more grey skies than blue and rather chilly. The moors were colourful though with […]

A Trip Down to Minehead and The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution)

So after A Trip Up the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire the last dinner we had before heading down to Minehead was a lovely venison burger with potatoe wedges and some mixed vegetables (kinda like ratatouille). This is the room I was staying in, can you see me in the mirror 😀 It used to be […]

A Trip Up the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire

After a lovely day out and visiting Broadway, we had dinner in Birmingham at my Aunts house. The next day was a rest day really, eat and laze around the house, catch up on a few e-mails and so on. Breakfast was a classic Bacon and Egg sandwich on freshly homemade bread! My choice of […]

An Afternoon in Broadway (Evesham/Worcestershire)

So after the lovely carvery lunch we headed off to the quaint village of Broadway for a wonder round – one of the favourite stops for coach tours and you can always see hoards of yanks and europeans wondering up and down the main street (depending on the season). It’s one of the more famous […]

A Day Out in Birmingham

So from Worcester the nearest major city would be Birmingham (home of Aston Villa and Birmingham City for the football fans amongst you). It’s about a 40 minute train journey and to start ourselves off for a long day out…of course we must have the Full English Breakfast! This is for you HB! Then off […]

A Trip to Worcester Cathedral & Royal Worcester Porcelain

After a good long sleep and getting adjusted back to UK time it was off down to Worcester Cathedral for a walk around. We happened to be in town during the Three Choirs Festival, so there were lots of events going on. This part of the Cathedral (the altar) always strikes me as odd, with […]

My Arrival in the UK – KLIA – Dubai – BHX

I chose to fly Emirates back to UK as it’s the only airline that flies to Birmingham International Airport (BHX). The rest fly to Manchester or London, London is a real hassle to get out of (and expensive). Manchester isn’t too bad but it’s still a couple of hours drive up the M6. BHX is […]

Coming to an end..

So my trip is almost coming to an end, 3 weeks seems like an awfully short time when you are having fun! I thought it’d seem like a longgggg break, I guess life in KL is too hectic sometimes – it’s a good feeling to have nothing to do, to be away from the Internet […]

Malvern and Minehead

The weather has still been a bit hit and miss, it’s raining pretty hard now and was miserable yesterday. We had a few good days before that though, had a nice walk up the Malvern Hills. We didn’t make it all the way up to the top because my Mom bought a car on the […]

Not Too Bad

The weather hasn’t been too bad really on and off. Quite a lot of rain, but it hasn’t been too heavy – quite a bit of blue skies too which is nice! Quite a lot of grey skies too which isn’t quite so nice…but can’t have your cream cakes and eat it! Been eating plenty, […]
