Other Stuff

Well time seems to have slowed again.  My first list is on my computer, things I still need to buy, like a neck cushion, a plug adaptor....sigh.

Next is the list of things I will be taking with me! Here is hoping I remember everything.  The school holidays are over once more, kids all back at school and then this coming weekend we have Labour Day, I am hoping to take some family photos of us all for my mother, she never seems to have enough photos of her Kiwi Grandkids.

The weather has turned good again though still cold, I expect it will be much colder in the Uk eventually, white christmas would be awesome. 

I tell you it is really strange having a Summer Christmas, BBQ at the beach, six week school holidays over jsut about before they have begun, it is strange though most enjoyable.  Some families still do the roast, though not many do a turkey.

First thing is staying in London and been able to go to the Archives, I have a Plaisted brickwall to bring down, and hopefully I will be able to solve it whilst I am there, I am looking forward to been able to dig more into my family history as well, will make sure I get to some of the places I didnt last time.  I would love to visit Warwick Castle where John du Plessis was 12th Earl in the 1200's, somewhere a long the line he is a relative to most of the Plaisted's in the world today.  I would also like to visit Castle Coombe and a few other places in the area. There is a Plaisted Church too, I think that is in Wiltshire, that is a must see, apparently only open once a week.

With all that to do, and books to write I will be in bliss land, I will miss my family muchly though I am pleased that I will be able to skype them this time round, isnt technology brilliant.

Time to go get some formatting done for someone else.
