Greetings from England

Hello from England. Gromit and Chico are having a great time here. Yesterday and Monday we had a wondeful time visiting Bath. It's a beautiful old city. We really enjoyed touring the Roman Baths and the Abbey. They have some nice shops too, but Gromit gets bored so we try not to stay too long. We took a nice cruise up the River Avon and we afterwards drove to a place called Exmouth to visit Uncle Bill and his new granddaughter Ella. She was very cute and slept a lot.

Now we're down in the far southwest corner of England. Nick's parents spend most of the summer down here so we thought it would be nice to stop by for a few days. The weather has been gorgeous for us so today we went for a long walk on the tops of the cliffs overlooking the sea.

Gromit and Chico were very tired by the time we got to the cliff by Logan's Rock, so we stopped for a sandwich and some water. Penberth Beach has been known to attract a few nudies, we decided not to ventre down there. The view was amazing and the water was so blue. Nick decided it would be a nice spot to pop the question and I completely agreed. Gromit held the ring, but I'm wearing it now. It's very pretty and sparkly too. I love it!


Tomorrow we've got a busy day planned with an airplane ride & visits with friends. We're off to Nick's sister's place in Southampton on Friday and to a wedding on Saturday. It's a busy vacation, but still relaxing.

UK or Bust

So much for going to bed early tonight. It's nearly 10:00pm now and I've still got a lot to do. I just had to say goodbye and wish everyone a great weekend. Our flight is at 6:15am so we'll be leaving here around 3:00am. Lucky us! I'll be sure to keep you all posted as much as possible.
When I was living in the UK last year, my sister came for a visit. We went to this gorgeous place, it's the Roman Baths...in Bath. What a place. We took the tour at just the right time to see the sun set on the pool. Wow! I can't wait to go back with Nick. Looks like a great place for a guy to give a ring, oh, I mean watch to a girl. Doesn't it? haha
