Well this will be the last you hear from me for weeks, as we are off to France, Normandy to be exact, two days time via the Chunnel. Having ridden on the ICE train and now the Chunnel I have just about done my train thing; some of the worlds great trains. Some years ago I went on the longest train journey of them all, the brilliant Indian Pacific back home, the only train trip that comes across the worlds three greatest oceans, Indian, Pacific and Great Southern. <br /> <br />The Edinburgh Tattoo was one of the greatest things i have seen, Stonehenge was also mind blowing; not as big as i thought but overpowering and mysterious. The Cotswolds didn't do a thing for me.but Stratford on Avon, wow. Visited Mary Ardens cottage ( William Shkespears mum) and Ann Hathaways cottage ( Mrs Shakespear) and of course Bills birthplace, even stood next to the bed he was born in. <br /> <br />Went for a boat ride on the Avon River. I can tell you Bill was the most prolific playwrite the world has ever seen and I didn't know it but he added 1700 new words to the English language. <br /> <br />We are off to a300 year old farmhouse in Normandy and i am not sure if they have any modern stuff at all let alone a computer. <br /> <br /> <br />regsrds from Ian.
