Corfe Castle & Kimmeridge Bay

Today we hopped in the car and headed for Corfe Castle. Other than horrid traffic on the way there it was a great day. After Corfe Stan took us for a quick view of Kimmeridge Bay, then on to Stonehenge and finishing off the day with some great food back at "The Row Barge".



Rich and Nichole thanks again for coming, I haven't laughed this much in I don't know how long - it's great having you here!!

On the way too Stonehenge we came across a tree which had just fallen into the road. Our super hero Rich held the branches back away from the street so we could quickly drive though.

Great mix of food, the Barge knows how to do it right we had Mussels, Pate, cheese plates and Calamari...YUM YUM!

More photos of this trip can be found under Albums.

Our FIRST official guests - Yeah Rich and Nichole!!

Stan and I are thrilled to say we have some great friends here in the UK with us. Rich and Nichole flew in Friday!! We did an official pub crawl last night and enjoyed some pints.

The first stop was the Row Barge. which is literally 25 steps from our front door. Neal made us some great lunch and we were off to the next stop.

I have NO idea what we were doing here, but I'm pretty sure we were having fun.

Introducing Squirmy Cat

This is a little neighborhood kitty we see quite often around Lavender Cottage. We do not know his official name so Stan has newly named him "Squirmy Cat" - a very fitting name.

This day he or she...dunno...anyway was playing on our front walk...trying to catch his/her tail - at first I thought he was playing with a fly but on video I now see it's his tail. Squirmy has become our little UK pet...when it fits Squirmy's mood that is.

This UK Snack...

makes me nervous...not sure if the man is a butcher or a psychopath escaped from prison. No thanks Mr. Porky, I'll pass on this one. What is a Pork Crackle anyway?

I noticed...

A Brilliant Sunday

Stan and I took a nice long walk by the Thames today. The weather here has been wonderful, sunny and mid 70's - Couldn't ask for nicer days.
