Greetings PLEBAns!
I thought I would start this thread so I could check in when I had a chance as I travel about the place, rather than try to pop in and out of the PGP and miss people.
This is the first time I've been able to get online since we left Australia (I've just had to change my timezone settings, it was getting confusing ), so I wanted to let you all know that I'm alive and having a fabulous time. Wild and Jem, and any other UK PLEBAns, you have a beautiful country here! I've only been in the south of England so far, spent the first week in and around Brighton, a couple of days in Axminster, and today I've arrived in Cornwall. I'm off to Glasgow on Tuesday to check out the northern end of things
We had pretty good weather in Australia the day we left (for winter, at least), and we seem to have brought it with us - everywhere I've been, it's been warm and sunny every day. Everything is blooming and every square inch of the place is covered with five kinds of vegetation, or else dozens of lego houses or terrace houses or tiny twisty streets that must be bigger than they look cos bloody great double-decker buses whizz down them at alarming speeds.
I was in Lyme Regis yesterday, which is well known amongst palaeontology nerds as a great place for fossils... the tides were all wrong to go on an organised fossil hunting trip, but I made my own way along Monmouth beach and might have found a little faint fossil.
Anyway, I'd better shove off and go and talk to my gracious hosts I'll try to upload some photos soon, I've taken about 200 so far
ZOMG I can't believe I'm in England
