Oh and here is York

Well guys this is the last post I will put on for today as I will be going to bed here are the last ones




What a find didn't even know this was there though it looks like it has gone out of business












Part of the York wall...do you know it is still legal to shoot a Scot within the walls of York with a bow and arrow.

The law has never been rescinded.

Oh and in Chester it is still OK to shoot a Welshman with a bow and arrow if they are out after midnight as it was a case of what are they doing out at that time...they must be looting.

Again the law was never rescinded. Stupid Brits











Wow look at this clock. We came around the corner and there it was. Well I think it is neat












It was a good day in York, we went to a traditional English Tea house and had breakfast (poached eggs and bacon on a toasted English muffin) and the day was ended with all you can eat Chinese with a pralines and cream ice-cream thrown in for lunch. :)

Yes there is MORE



Welcome to Hadrian's Wall built be the Roman Emperor Hadrian to keep the Scots out of Roman territory. It ran from coast to coast at the shortest distance in England
















Yes that is the wall stretching into the distance it is 150 miles long and it defended Rome's northern most frontier











That is what the Scots had to run up to get to the Roman fort that is behind me. Poor buggers













OH MY GOD IS THAT SUN LIGHT?????????


We are still in Brittan right?

















Look out Russell Crow there is a new Gladiator in town!!

The Lake District again



Weeeelllllllllllllllllllll what CAN I say ... I think the sign says it all.
















Ohhhh a castle lets have a look... WHAT THEY SHUT EARLY...bloody British










Wow this will be great I mean Arthur Round Table














WHAT THE HELL THIS IS IT ... I FEEL RIPPED OFF!!!!!!











Well that is neat a typical Brit hotel

The Lake District aka New Zealand look-a-like

Hi guys I know I have had a heap of writing on my page lately but guess what I finally have gone some where and now I have pictures so brace yourselves





This is a road I thought I would show you it is the typical width and just imagine it with cars parked on either side and there you have England traffic!!!! INSANE I say







Where does this look like to you?

If your from Whangarei it looks just like Glenbervie even the stone fences though to give the British credit theirs are about 300+ years old.

You know the saying... they don't build them like they used too







Well there is lake Windermere it is quite pretty especially in this British summer we are having.

In other words RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN with about 2 weeks of sun

BRITAIN YOU SUCK!!!!! (weather)









WOW pretty in an overgrown wild kind of way.










I don't know why but I actually find these quite pretty. You expect them to make a noise...but nothing, it is surreal really.

Just another Update

Hi guys

just writing to let you know that work and everything is going great, I'm starting to answer real calls from people and I must sat that some of the accents are a bit mystifying lol. And I must there have been one or two really sexy sounding voices as well!!!

Well I'm in recovery mode today, I had a bit of a drinking session last night and so have not done much. I was going to go to Ripon today but I couldn't face getting out of bed too early this morning even though I was awake at 8am.

Ange has gone to Ireland for 8 days so I went with her to the bus station last night and I must say it is great having the bed all to myself!!! Poor Ange bought a camera on special and was REALLY pissed off because when she got it home there were flecks of something (I don't know what) in the inner lens, and it was too late for her to take it back as the shop had shut!! So that is what I had to do today, take back her camera. Oh well they replaced it but didn't give me a freebie to make it up to Ange.

I didn't get the new Harry Potter book that came out here last week so I will be on the look out as I don't want some one to let the ending slip to me and then ruin it.

I'm going to sign off here so LOVE and HUGS to all you guys

Just another Update

Hi guys

Just letting you know how my first few days of work have gone. So far I am really enjoying it and for those that don't know anything about it, where have you been?

I started on Monday @ Atkins Asset Management which is part of a greater global company. We are working in the Help desk section which is where if our clients have any problems e.g. lights not working or water leaks, they give us a ring and we log a job and then that is sent to a contractor and they go out and fix it.

I have been in training this week and next week I will be put on a team and start listening to call and get specialist training.

Well that is pretty much what I wanted to say, hopefully this weekend I will have some more photos to load on as Ange and I are looking to go to Whitby this weekend and I will have some pictures and they should be quite good as Whitby looks REALLY English to me so log on later.

Love and Hugs
Trace

Update

Just letting everyone know what is happening in my life. Well I finally got a new job and I start on Monday the 9th so looking forward to that but a little nervous.

It is as a Help Desk Operator, so I talk calls from people that have trouble with their work place and then log the problem and assign a priority rating to it and then send out a repair man if needed.


Well I have gone completely blank!!!

Oh well will update you again later

Love Trace
