The second letter threatened to nullify the first.

By spending over RM70,000 to resurface the whole car park. All cars will be locked out for 3 days and 3 nights. Too bad I wasn’t here to see them spend RM180,000 to repaint the whole apartment block.

Stonehenge1 Stonehenge2

Stonehenge. The only thing that is sure about this 5000 year-old arrangement is that it has something to do with the summer and winter solstice, and that the stones came from somewhere far, far away.

Stonehenge3
Doesn’t look like I’ve eluded the barber for the past 7 months, huh?

Stonehenge4 Keep off the grass!

Salisbury1Â Salisbury Youth Hostel, 200 year-old bunglo.

Salisbury2 Cooked dinner.

Salisbury3
12-bed dormitory, off-peak season so there were only 4 of us.

Salisbury4
Tony Robinson: Me and My Mum, part of a Channel 4 documentary series entitled The Trouble with Old People.

Salisbury5Â
Add some baked beans and you’ll get a full English breakfast.

Salisbury6
The best shower. Others have 2 taps with fluctuating water temperatures that make showers a frustrating experience.

Salisbury7 Farmer’s Market, Tuesdays & Saturdays, since 1361.

Avebury1
Stone Circle, 23 miles from Stonehenge, is supposedly older by about 500 years.

Avebury2Â No entrace fee, and you can touch the stones here.

Avebury3 A much larger arrangement than Stonehenge.

Avebury4
And somehow, they decided to build a village, Avebury, smack in the middle of the circle.

Junichi
Junichi, shared plenty of tips as his 2-month trip of Europe ends in the UK.

She has gone to be with the Lord.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

Thanks, Grandma. I’ll see you again.
