Beginning

So we're off tomorrow to have some adventures with Liz in the UK - the Lake District, Isle of Skye, and also to see our UK family and friends.

We've done lots of reading of Lonely Planet and Rough Travel Guides and many dedicated websites too, so we can be as informed as possible about what to see and do and how to get around. We'll recharge our Oyster cards at Heathrow for tube travel in London and we've got National Trust passes organised to be picked up in St Paul's Churchyard once we are in London. The passes will be useful for the sites we want to visit in our literary pilgrimages.

The bags are packed and with the suitcases at only 15kgs each we think we are doing well. The short puffy down coats and Bridgedale socks are packed as we know we will need them.

Peggy and Don offered to take us the Richmond train station as they have done on previous trips we've taken. So the journey begins once we are on the airport train tomorrow at about 1.30 pm.
