flag counter

mmm well have spent ages trying to add a flag counter to my page....think i may just give up!! aaaarggghhh

School's out - let the holidays begin

Well school is finished for a whole 6 weeks!! So that will give me time to get a bit more sorted (hopefully). Last week I went to have yet another injection but it seems that after one more in January 2014 that will be it....bar deciding on malaria tablets, the Rabies jab and the Japanese encephalitis jab....so not quite there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband seems to need nothing so far as being a trainee nurse he had to have lots of jabs anyway!

We are planning a couple of smaller train trips this summer....first off to Southern Ireland....then hopefully trying out a sleeper by taking the overnight from Euston to Inverness as I have made it my mission this holidays to set foot in Kirkwall on the Orkneys!!!

Inbetween all of that planning and gallivanting I am also hoping to make lots of new jewellery to sell on my FB page - Travels in Time. I am also going to set up a blog related specifically to that......

Anyway we have been to the library and these are my planning starting points as well as lots of info from friends who have visited Southern Ireland. And of course I will be consulting www.seat61.com

Too much to do!

Ok i think i may be a pretty rubbish blogger since it is quite a few weeks since my last entry....feel like i am going to the confessional....forgive me folks for it is 5 weeks since my last blog....I promise to do three roadtrips, 5 train rides and a ferry to make up for it!

So what has been happening regarding the trip....INJECTIONS!!!!! yes lots of visits to our Doctor's surgery so the lovely nurse can inject me with all sorts of vaccines!! I even have a little book which records each and every potential fatal disease i am being protected against.

I am also doing research on whether we need protection against rabies and Japanese encephalitis. Another issue is that of malaria and what we need to take in the various areas to give us as much protection as possible.

So thats it really!!!!
