Rob Little's Blog – the musings of an English / British Tour Guide !

This is SOOOOO tru ! Very funny unless you are offended by the pretend word “feck” !

……….well its sad to say goodbye to them (my wife’s brother and his wife) but at least we can turn the heating off…..”cold” has a completely different meaning to people from Florida ha ha ! If you read this when you get home David and Lynn, hope you had a good flight !

I am sat by the weir and Poultney Bridge in Bath!

In Tetbury in the English Cotswolds today !

Tally Ho – the fox hunters on their way home for lunch in Naunton, Gloucestershire !

The other photos are from around the delightful Chastleton House. Sadly this place, one of the few true Manor Houses in the Cotswolds, may have to be removed from my list of places to see. They have introduced a weird system where although they are only open from 1pm – 4pm, if 180 people turn up before 2.30pm that’s it…..nobody else allowed in. So someone like me can’t risk wasting an hour taking people there only to find they are turned away. There has to be a better way of organising this !

Well……I’ll tell you what’s better…..to get home and find one’s wife has mowed the lawn for the second time in a week – my my she is well tra****d…..no no i mustn’t say it HA HA !

……I am not saying I am opposed to the UN resolution on Libya if it really is to protect the people and not to protect the oil. Will we be doing the same in Yemen – the people are being hurt there too? But they have no oil?

Anyway I thought this cartoon in todays Times was particularly poignant !
