London Rocks!

London

Happy new week, Blog friends!

I just got home from 3 great concerts with Rebecca St James, out in GA, MS and TX. I tried using one of my brand new songs Breath Of God and it got good feedback from the crowd, so thats encouraging! The events were part of the "SHE Tour" this Spring (www.sheevent.com) and were a blast to be part of!

In the signing line a little girl came up to me with a London teeshirt on – how cool is this?!

I told her I had a to snap a photo for my Blog, as it reminded me of my Homeland!

I know that many of you on here have visited England before, and some of you even live there now. So lets be touristy and share our England stories!!

- If you visited England, when did you go and what did you most enjoy seeing/doing?

- If you live there, where abouts and where are your favorite places in the UK?

- If you’ve never been, what would you like to see if you took a visit?

As we say in England "have a brilliant day, mate!"

Cheers,

Vicky

  • I went the other way...I'm English, but moved to California 6 years ago. I'm originally from Oxford, and in fact you and I have a friend in common Miss Beeching; I went to school for years with someone you roomed with several years ago.

    Anyway...I love it when I go back. There's just no place like "home".
  • I am going with a group in my church to South Africa in the summer and we have a 6 hour layover in London, so I really hope we get a chance to see at least something. I am really excited.

    I was in England on my way to Africa - didn't get to see much as I had major jetlag, but it was SO cool - driving on the other side of the road, amazing English accents, Heathrow, etc... loved it!

    Well. I live in jolly old England, in a little village outside Oxford. One of the many awesome things about it is that I can literally step out of my back garden and into lush fields and yet hop on the nearest bus a 2 minute walk from my house and be in the centre of oxford in 25 minutes - makes shoping easily accessable =)!
    Even though I have lived in England all my life I have to admit I havn't visited many of the tourist attractions. I've been to a few theatres in the west end, probably the tower of london, houses of parliment etc when I was little with school, but never ben on an open top bus in London or on the london eye. I really ought to one day. I've been to historic places such as Bath and been for many wet camping trips with the family in Devon and the Lake District. Well I have to say I love England and its Earl Grey Tea although would be the first to hop on a plane to Austrailia or somewhere hot at first oppertunity! Although the weather has been excellent over the last 2 weeks or so.
    Well much love from sunny England!

  • I've only been to London once for 1 week in 1998 as a 2nd honeymoon with my wife before we had our first of 3 daughters in 2000. I just talked with them last week about taking them someday. I most enjoyed sitting in on a session of Parliament, dinner on a glass bottom boat on the Thames River, a day trip to Leeds Castles including afternoon tea, visiting the Paddington Museum, riding the tube/underground, minding the gap, visiting the Tower of London, and shopping at Harrod's (my wife) and the Virgin Megastore (me) :O)
  • I grew up in Northern Ireland, but my wife's family live in London. We live the US now, but will be visiting London in August for a couple of weeks. I do the tourist thing every time I go.

    I was able to visit London, Oxford, Canterbury, Harlaxton, and other areas on a singing tour with our local philharmonic chorus in 2005...already close to 3 years ago! It was wonderful, and I'm ready to go back anytime.
  • I visited England in 2006 when i spent the summer at Oxford (Regents Park College) for a study abroad program. Through the program, I got to see different parts of England and Scotland, it was a great trip. I think the thing I missed since I've been back has been the countryside scenery, architecture and just walking around Oxford.
  • We went for our honeymoon. may 2000. We had a great time seeing the city! I wish we were able to see more of the countryside. I had some wonderful crepes there, we saw the Lion King for the first time, it was fun. H

    I spent a month in England touring around back in 1992. I went over to be the best man in a friends wedding.

    A pastor from my church is currently a guest lecturer(sp?) at Cliff College in Manchester. We miss him terribly.

    Hey cool! I'm going to London in three weeks for the second time now. To visit some friends and to go to the Passion Worldtour.

    I've travelled the UK for 6 weeks last year, backpacking. Been to London, Gloucester, Manchester, Glasgow, Inverclyde, Inverness, Elgin, Belfast and Portsteward.

    I really liked London, but the best place with spectacular landscape/views was Greenock, Schotland. Very pretty!

    Can't wait to get back to London!!

    Oh Vicky, the picture of Big Ben & the Eye is similar to the one I took :D same point of view and almost the same bus ;) http://tinyurl.com/5ud3ps
  • I know there are many historic sites to visit, and I definitely want to see them someday, what I really want to do is visit with my friends Dave and Rosie Fellingham in Brighton. Since I first met them in 2002 I have wanted to go visit them. They are very special people. Some day!!

    As a Londoner myself; I love England so my best places would be:

    -Picnic in Hyde Park, then go to Covant Garden for shopping + Dinner and then finish the night off with a trip to the theatre.

    -Camping in Dorset, around the Swanage area; I also love Weymouth as it lends itself to some great walking up to Lulworth Cove, or to Portland. Also good for kayaking!

    - Lake District, again some great walking.

    -Hereford, beautiful city and good walking, kayaking etc around the river Wye.

    - The West Country, 'cos I got a brand new combine harvester...

    -Going out of England, there are some lovely places in Wales / Scotland.

  • When I said beer, I meant proper beer, you know, real ale-type beer. The kind of "I'll have a pint if drowned badger please" beer.

    I also miss walks on the south downs and swimming in the River Teme near Ham Bridge, and the sound of the organ in Worcester Cathedral, and the beach at Rhoscolyn and Thornton's toffee and everything about Frontline Church, especially the people, and walking down Matthew Street in my lunch hour.
  • Things I miss about living in England:
    1.Beer.
    2.Greenery.
    3.Seabrook's Prawn Cocktail Crisps.
    4.Friends and Family.

    Things I don't miss...
    1.Rain
    2.It's blooming expensive.
