Don't tell an impromptu (waiter) photographer how to take a photo - he'll take the picture right when you're explaining
at the exact moment that makes you look like you've got something wedged up your bum... |

A different type of night out on
Chapel Street (Stratford-upon-Avon) |
 |
A blast from the past
at Birmingham Uni |
 |
| Folly number 1 |
Leaving Torquay, we headed up north to the Sturge
stronghold. Given the massive journey (yep – our families are on opposite ends
of England, but that’s quite a bit better than being on opposite sides of Aus!),
we took in Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham along the way, immersing
ourselves in Shakespeare’s history and then Annaliza’s university history. In
Birmingham we also commenced a new hobby – folly spotting (for those of you who don’t
know what a folly is, wiki probably explains it better than me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly).

Lake Derwentwater - enjoying the
delightful weather... |
From there it was across to York to catch up with M&D
Sturge to be spoilt by some more home comforts, and discovery of the game
Carcasonne (as you probably know, we do love our board games:
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/822/carcassonne)
where Annaliza had the golden touch. Enjoyed
a day trip to the Yorkshire Dales for a stretch of the legs, unearthing another
gem of a place on our doorstep we’d never visited before. The first attempt for
Tony at golf since being on the Nullabour links went marginally better than
that previous outing, but we’re talking about small margins!

| Position A - nicely in the rough! |
