Brussels

Oct 30th 2006sarahBelgium & Europe

Well, thought I would drop a brief note here about Brussels this morning. Suffice it to say I’ve never spent so much time in a hotel room on holiday before. Lucky it was five star – otherwise we’d been in trouble. This isn’t because Brussels was such a terrible city, no. It was because Paul and I were both sick for the majority of the weekend. And we’re still sick today.

We did get some tourism in before everything went downhill, though, and we’ll share that with you all later. For now, however, I’m off to lay on the couch and drink some mint tea.

New Poll

Oct 22nd 2006sarahPolls & Website

Okay, so after the fab result of our last pole, we decided to have another! We’ve now given you the chance to voice your opinion on which country mom and dad should visit when the come over to England. We decided it wouldn’t be fair to keep them in sunny England the whole time, but unfortunately we’ll only have time to take them to one other place, otherwise they’ll return home never wanting to travel again! So, let us know, what you think.

Should we take them to Scotland – let them see where we got married and try haggis, show them the grandeur of the highlands? OR, should we arrange a trip to Paris and introduce them to wonders of French cuisine, the Eiffel Tower and and the Left Bank? You decide!

And it looks like it’s cooking, cleaning and DIY for mom and dad when they travel over to visit next summer. Paul and I shall start to compile a list accordingly. I wonder how long it will take to mom get the hang of my washing machine…

Brick Lane

Oct 16th 2006sarahRestaurants

So, this weekend we made a visit to Brick Lane. Brick Lane is found in the East End of London and is really famous for it’s wealth of Indian restaurants. I’ve been wanting to go to Brick Lane for some time now, mainly to check it out and see what it’s all about. I had no idea what to expect, and I wasn’t disappointed.
