Back from Being Busy!

Hey guys: it's been a while since the last update, as I'm sure you're aware. Quite a lot has been happening since the last blog: the Americans showed up at half 6 (and left again 4 hours later), I visited East Grinstead and the Bluebell Railway (which was awesome), and I'm now back in Gloucestershire, or as I like to call it, the Shire.

These past few days in particular have seen me working at my Dad's office, and thrashing out a few plans for visiting Dorset, Bath (again), Wales, Shropshire, the West Midlands, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. Oh, and Buckinghamshire (again). And Cambridgeshire. Told you I'd been busy, hadn't I?

Here are a few of the places I've put on a so-far unfixed itinerary:

  1. Dorchester
  2. Bath
  3. Cardiff
  4. Caerphilly
  5. Swansea
  6. Ludlow
  7. Knighton
  8. Birmingham
  9. Stafford
  10. Warwick
  11. Coventry
  12. Milton Keynes
  13. Cambridge

And at present, I should be visiting all those places in the space of a fortnight. Let it never be said I'm not mad. Of course, I could argue that I'm staying put for almost a month in order to compensate for all this moving about, but on Saturday I'm up in Hereford, and next Tuesday I'm heading to York, so that's more of a whacking great fib than an argument.

And I might be heading to Worcester mid-week...

So much for staying put! But I have been working a bit in order to raise funds, and being in one county for six days is extremely restrained compared to thirteen in six days. And to be honest, although there's a lot still to do, the bulk of my travelling has come and gone. But Wales should still be very awesome indeed, especially if I get to visit Knighton: where the town is in Wales, but the station's in England. Confusing times, non?

I'll let you know when I'm on the move again!

Thanks for reading, Chris
