LANCASTER TO CAMBRIDGE? MISSION POSSIBLE

Lancaster to Cambridge after eight days in Thurnham Hall? Looking at a four hour drive after six hours riding around the Lake District. Luckily I had a decompression day yesterday for lifting in the gym, a sauna, and a walk out in the fields before a nice dinner. Vacation, right? Or ‘Mission Possible.’

HOLD ON TO THE HISTORY ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS

Hold on to the history rope and hold on tight when you discover some of the horrible events from the past. I didn’t need to know about more women being convicted for witchcraft. Witchcraft is not something I’m familiar with and will never be familiar with, but it seems more likely that women tried and […]

WINSTON CHURCHILL AT HOME

At Winston Churchill’s home there wasn’t a wax figure, or mannequin, there was Winston. Along with the old bulldog there was a hype-man, a security-man, and a secretary. The four of them were in one of the rooms in Blenheim Palace. There were a lot of rooms. but only one Churchill. The following is for […]

THE COTSWOLD SURPRISE, DAY TWO

The Cotswold surprise would be less if I read more, then I’d know this land was once the land of Wool Barrons and landed gentry. I’d have known it was the land of Big Wool who carried their fleece to market on ancient Roman roads. But I like the element of surprise, just not when […]

Turns out these people are more adventurous than most, with a passion for learning new things. We had connected through yard-bragging one evening at Andina in NW Portland before a Portland […]

HISTORY HELP FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION

History help comes in handy when you’re about to tap out on life. Things have been slowing down, enthusiasm gone, you start wondering, ‘is this is all there is.’ What could possible inspire someone feeling a little down? Drive the country roads outside Oxford, England for an education on how to stoke those fires with […]

MAGIC ROUNDABOUT IN SWINDON

Magic roundabout in Swindon? How about the miracle escape from Bath? For starters, Bath was flooded with fans coming in for the music festival weekend, which some tourists see as a positive, some a negative. To balance the scale, more fans came in for the rivalry rugby game. What could go wrong?

LONDON CALLING AND THE ANWER IS?

The wife and I answered to London calling for the third time. For the second time we flew in on a big old jet plane, the other time was the Chunnel. Call me historically haunted, but coming into town in the same air space as the Battle of Britain is quite a bit to process. […]

BREAKING IN PERIOD FOR NEW SHOES

For breaking in new shoes the store man said wear them at least ten hours. I wore a pair for ten minutes out of the store and knew they weren’t right. Too heavy, thin soles, and why did I even buy them? To be honest, it happens all too often.
