Mum and Dad's voyage across the pond...

Biker dudes...


I didn't recognise who these guys were when the picture popped up on my import screen. I was about to say, "Who are these guys?!", when I remembered it was Dad and me. We took a cool cruise on the harley around Dorset county. Couldn't get Mum on the thing, though. This was on one of our "rest" days. We took 3 trips to London and spent a weekend in Paris. In between trips we rest at home and prepare for the next day's adventure.
The weather cooled off, thankfully, and we even got a bit of a shower now and then, but that hasn't slowed us down a bit. I'm home today, catching up on some homework, but Rhonda took Mum and Dad for a long walk through the gardens at Stourhead.

With one of the Royal Horse Guard...


Here's a photo we took in London, with one of the Royal Horse Guard. If you've been keeping up with this blog you'll remember that when Victoria was here we saw the horses parade down the Mall and into Buckingham Palace. We haven't seen the horses at this place since, but last year I got a picture of Rhonda next to one of the horses, which is a bit more dramatic.
Now for your information, yes, we did a lot more things on this trip and yes, there are a lot more pictures, but you'll have to wait for Mum and Dad to get home and show you their movies and pictures. This is just a 'taste'... But keep scrolling down, there are more pictures !

So, Phil, this is what Paris looks like ...




I know you can't wait for them to come home and show you their pics of all they saw and did. I know they had a great time... Rhonda and I did, too ! We've had a great visit and have tired them both out, but I know they're very anxious to come home and share their stories with you all.

We got a Lobster postcard from Pam today... Thanks Pam! You're so sweet, always thinking about us and sending us kooky cards. (Pam asked me to put some photos on the website, so I've done it right away for all of you to enjoy!)
Ciao for now !
