sweet street excellent use of imagination that there, in the middle, guess who? yes, i did do this.  not mine.  over to the 'glamping' section. tents etc pre-set up before you arrived jus' strollin' round the camp not for snags Last Sunday morning I got the train from Kings Cross to this little place 3 hours away called Skegness, then  got a ride on to Mablethorpe, for four days. It was a church camp called Focus. I went. It was awesome. Now, I didn't actually go to any of the praying/worshipping/jesus/god seminars or talks or groups, as I was looking after the children, but during the 3 hours they were in their school group and I had free time and pretty much just wandered around reading and sitting in the sun and drinking coffees and taking photos. There was a couple of things that would have been quite interesting, but ah, it was a really interesting experience just to get to go to as an outsider. I...

an exciting bit of the wall another exciting bit click me me and Sam at the Brandenburg Gate the sky gearing up for a torrential afternoon Reichstag building holocaust monument Last morning in Berlin.

the best welcoming dip fest ever     beach bar!  group photo! bit blurry but ah well! Berlin. Yet another amazing city I want to go back to a million times. This travelling bizo, it makes me just want more more more. And more of the same cities, when there are so many other great ones out there to go see. Oh woe is me and my fantastic life. So, I was flying out of Luton airport this time, the furthest away and most annoying to get to airport in London. Well technically out of London. I had to work the morning, and it worked out that I had a sleepover at work, and then school was starting late so I had to go directly from school drop off to the bus station. Way to make a gal sweat and stress!!! (even though I did get there with an hour and a half spare) but hey! I am NOT missing any more flights. I flew with EasyJet, a bit of a welcome change from RyanAir, which I think I might do a bit more. Yes, RyanAir stewa...
