Almost Over

Hello today is officially the last day of the trip. We'll be heading down to a relative's house after lunch to cut the trip down to Heathrow tomorrow. It's unfortunate that I didn't really get to see any historic sights but this trip was mainly focused on visiting relatives because I don't know when or if I'll see some of them again. Thank fully I did manage to buy a lot of chocolate and I had a good trip. This is now officially the second last entry for this travel log.

Notice

Sorry if there are a lack of pictures but right now I'm using dial-up internet and it takes too long to upload images to the blog page.

Hi. This morning we went down to the local church that is over 800 years old where I looked around and took some pictures. Later we visited the beach at Ilfracomb and then saw how they build houses in Britain at my great aunt's. Instead of wood they use mostly concrete and there are two walls, one made of regular concrete blocks and the other is a light type of concrete that has air bubbles in it to stop condensation.

Unfortunately I've got a cold, but these last few day have been fairly interesting. On Friday I saw a pantomime(type of English play), and went to a marketplace that was a few hundred years old. This weekend I went to a football match (Soccer). Yesterday was spent not doing anything except in the evening when we went to pick my dad up from the bus station after he dropped my sister off at the airport who left early so she won't miss too much school. Today I'm just trying to recover.

Today was definately one of the most interesting so far. We visited the small hamlet of Highbray where a lot of my ancestors are buried. The graveyard was filled with headstones and some of the graves I looked at that belonged to my ancestors were over 200yrs old! The church of course was quite a bit older than most of the graves there, probably over 600 yrs old. On the way back from Highbray we stopped to look at an old farm house my grandfather used to own and passed a Georgian house. I lso managed to get quite a few pictures and tomorrow we could get snow wow!...not

New Years

Sorry I know this entry is a little late but I'll try to fit everything that's happened in.
The weekend was mainly spent visiting various relatives and catching up on some sleep. On Monday we left for Georgeham, Devon and were on the road most of the day, passing various historical buildings. Four in the afternoon we arrived in Georgeham and wathed fireworks and listened to the bells in the old church for Newyears. Today we went down to a small family reunion at a pub for lunch, went over to my great aunts and then went home.
