Winding up our stay in Southampton

We apologise for the lack of Blog's this month. We've been spending all our time at the internet cafe booking hotels, flights and train tickets for our big 11 week holiday. We have only 2 more days of work at the Southampton General Hospital! On Thursday we leave England but you'll just have to wait to find out what happens next!!

The week after the Altmann boys came to visit we had another brother to show around Southampton (and that took 5 minutes ). We showed Jono Netley Abbey and he taught us plenty of new tricks on our camera. He's been pestering us about missing tacos at our house so we had to satisfy his craving (and he needs fattening up). Jane still remembers the days he ate 12 tacos all by himself. On Sunday we took Jono to the Purbeck Penisula. Despite the beauty of the area, now we know why Australia is known for its beaches and England is not. Sorry England.

Last weekend we decided to spend some time relaxing with the family. Charmian and Lovatt put us up at their gorgeous 600 year old cottage. We went to a neighbours art/photo exhibition held in their barn and ate a picnic in their field. On Sunday they took us to the best fish and chip shop in the UK. Situated right beside the nuclear power station. Don't worry, these fish didn't have 3 eyes.
Now its all go for packing up our little flat and squeezing into 2 hiking packs and a couple of boxes to leave in the car.
