Bon Voyage!!! (Including disclaimer)
In and around United Kingdom
After some fond farewells at the airport we set off on our adventure....not that long a time travelling but it saves writing emails to everyone and we are going to cram in as much as we can (plus everyone kept saying setup a blog especailly my dad....what news!!!)
Off to Heathrow first and some hanging around the airport...luckily the F1 was on so we could watch Lewis Hamilton win the championship before jumping on the plane to Singapore...13 hours of fun fun fun!! Flight not too bad as we slept quite a bit of it...and got in some films.

For example; 'it was magical' = Paul Daniels would be proud. 'It was really pretty' = it look good. I hope this helps you review this blog from a balanced view point. Hugs and Kisses Steve xx
