Not Much to Report

Today we ran an errand to Chartwell. The day was beautiful and the ride was glorious. This afternoon we went to Bluewater, a HUGE mall near the Thames at the Dartford crossing (you can see it on Google Maps). It made me sad that the world is so homogenized. It was just like an American mall full of thousands of people spending like crazy. There is an enormous M&S, larger than anything on Oxford Street and every other store you can imagine. A high point of the excursion was lunch at Gourmet Burger Kitchen, but the real highlight was coming back into beautiful Kent on a gorgeous late afternoon.

 This place is enormous

Tomorrow we are off to the West to visit Port Isaac where Doc Martin is filmed. The weather has been so wonderful but the forecast isn't very encouraging. The forecast, however, is only good for about an hour: "It's an island" and the weather is changeable. So we hope for the best. I will add a post when we return in day or so. But that's all for now.

OXO

You failed to mention that you also went up in a helicopter... I would have thought that would have been note worthy... Have fun!

helicopter? Dad you are editing too much.

There was no helicopter. The photo was taken from the internet. In fact we are still in Mesa and all the images are taken from the internet and we are photoshopped in. jk
