Safe From the Attacks

Just wanted to let you all know that we were not in London at the time of the terrorist attacks on London. We were supposed to be crossing london on the tubes on friday (the day after) but we made other arrangements and took a coach down to devon to pick up our car.

We went out driving today for the first time and it went really well. Roundabouts are a little strange at first and the back country roads are a little scary when you meet another car head on but everything worked out fine. We will be down in Devon in a place called HarbetonFord for the next 10 days before we drive off to Cardiff to see Megan's family in Wales. After that it is off to the Continent which we are both really looking forward to. Hopefully we will be in Germany in about a month to see Curt and Anna.

Hope you are all doing well and please sign the comments section. We love to read the posts from everyone. Feels like we aren't so far away from you all when you do. Looking forward to reading your posts EVERYONE. Cheers

Hey guys
I saw you online today Phil, but you signed off like 2 minutes after I messaged you, leaving me to talk to Dr. Zaius and Davey boy... not bad company however! Glad to hear you guys are alright and that you spent money on a car and not sausage rolls... those things are gross! Talk to you soon

Hi Megan and Phil

Good to know you both are safe. Make sure to watch for people crossing from the other direction while you're driving at the right hand side of the car
Miss you both

Hey guys, Anna and I are glad to hear that you're both safe. We're really looking forward to seeing you too, hopefully you'll be here for her birthday. I love receiving comments on my blog too, but it doesn't seem to happen to often lately. Makes me feel a lot closer to everyone too.

See you guys in about a month!

Hey there! Glad you let us know you are okay after the bombings in London. We at UMA were very concerned about your both.

Take care and keep on truckin'.

Does it still count as "truckin" if you're driving a tiny-ass car like that?

Hiya! I thought I would post you a message so that you would believe that I am acutally reading this! Nice job on the Scotland trip posting - I don't need to keep any kind of travel journal when you're around. You covered just about everything - in detail!

Are you guys in Bristol at the moment? When do you head to Wales?

We are back down to London on Monday to muscle in on your space - ha ha. But we are off to Dublin on Wednesday so we won't be there for too long.

Andrew, you'll have to tell me what's good to go and visit there (although I may skip your hotel by the sounds of it!).

I'm sure we'll talk to you guys soon!

Hey guys thanks for all the posts. Dawn I am afraid it looks as though you will get the floor in London because we are going to back around the same time as you...j/ks we will work it out.

Mike you have no idea how many photos I have taken. I think Megan is getting angry since I make her stop every 30 seconds for a photo. hahaha. So far I am up around 1200 photos.. Good thing I got that ipod.
