Up and Away Again

We've been busy bears since our early return from Spain. Infact, we've hardly spent any time at all at home. We've had a lovely time visiting friends and family all over the country and enjoying some wonderful hospitality.

You know us though, it doesn't take us long to get itchy paws and we thought about how best we could use our minders' remaining sabbatical time for a new adventure and a new chapter for the Friendly Planet Guide. We made our decision and then realised that, although the bearports were still valid, one of them expired less than 6 months after the return from our planned holiday. It therefore needed renewing and quickly.

We therefore wasted no time in leaping into one of the bearmobiles and heading for the Passport Office at Peterborough. We found it in plenty of time for our appointment slot.


Thanks to the helpfulness and efficiency of the very nice staff, we were sorted in no time at all and free to look round the city of Peterborough.

We headed for the Cathedral and were very pleased to find that it wasn't locked a la Spanish style and even wanted people to come and visit. This was a notice we approved of.


We returned home to get on with trip preparations and packing.

In fact since starting to write this blog at Gatwick airport we have travelled a few thousand miles and are now at our trip destination. All we will say for now is that we are having fun getting wet in the sun.

More will be revealed soon (but perhaps not too soon with internet rates of 6 pounds stirling an hour - we're sure you'll understand).

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
