Road Dogs: Visiting our "Geordies" in Sunderland
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/visiting-our-geordies-in-sunderland.html
Saturday, August 11, 2007. Visiting our "Geordies" in Sunderland. We got to experience a “Bacon Butty” at the café just down the street from Jean and Gordon’s house. Interesting the difference in bacon –from the U.S. thin strips to the Aussie slabs, to Canada’s round, boring slices – to the UK- somewhere in between them all. We walked through the local neighborhood – John got a haircut and we got to meet Jean’s good friend, Sylvia. Posted by Road Dogs. April 1, 2012 at 12:15 AM. Sorry for the delay in ge...

Road Dogs: St Mary's Church in Lowestoft
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/st-marys-church-in-lowestoft.html
Friday, August 24, 2007. St Mary's Church in Lowestoft. With our records in hand, we headed to the Church of St Margaret. We had some idea of the gravestone locations, so we wandered about Section VIIIb and found the tomb of Will and William Neslen, but couldn't find Richard and Margaret (Samuel Neslen's parents). We moved our search to section VII and immediately found the tombstones of the Liffens, Margaret's parents. Lowestoft Porcelain). The old factory was on Bell Lane where the Neslen's lived&#...

Road Dogs: Lindisfarne - The Holy Island
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/lindisfarne-holy-island.html
Sunday, August 12, 2007. Lindisfarne - The Holy Island. In the morning, we drove up the coast to Lindesfarne, the “Holy Island”. A causeway connects the island to the mainland of Northumberland so we had to check the tides, since the road is flooded twice a day. The location for the monastery was selected carefully - being within the sight of Bamburgh. Across the bay –offering protection from the Kings, and also offering isolation, being cut off from the mainland at high tides. Posted by Road Dogs. Mormo...

Road Dogs: Sunderland Church Ladies
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/sunderland-church-ladies.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2007. We had another library Day in Sunderland. With 2 inches of rain and major wind gusts projected, it wasn’t such a bad day to spend in the library. But then- John decided that we should take an excursion – walking- to Holy Trinity church. One thing led to another and we were being given a private tour of the Church. We got back “home” and we got a pint- or two- at the Chester Pub then had a dinner of chili on jacket potatoes (another new British culinary experience).

Road Dogs: February 1995
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/1995_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 11, 1995. Posted by Road Dogs. My club trip this year was to Puerto Rico. John was able to join me for the last few days so we decided to take advantage of being in PR and fly over to the Dominican Republic. We toured the entire island and found that much of the coast was devoted to gated beach communities- not our style. Posted by Road Dogs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Our US. Travel Blog.

Road Dogs: Exploring the Lowestoft of the Neslens
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/exploring-lowestoft-of-neslens.html
Thursday, August 23, 2007. Exploring the Lowestoft of the Neslens. Kerry found a small pamphlet written by a Mr. Larter detailing the history of the Mormon Church in Lowestoft. We found that the Wesleyan Methodist Church had been demolished and a new building housing the elderly had been put up in it's place. The architect tried to keep the lines of the old building but ultimately, it's still a 1960's building. Posted by Road Dogs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our US. Travel Blog.

Road Dogs: To the coastal town of Lowestoft
http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/to-coastal-town-of-lowestoft.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2007. To the coastal town of Lowestoft. We checked out of the hotel and did a walk-around of the Barns Hotel. The property is on lands belonging to the Whitbread estate on the River Ouse in the Cardington section of Bedford. (Alice Whitbread married Gerard Spencer in 1600 and became parents of the New England Spencer brothers. The main buildings were restored in the 1980's and converted into the hotel.

http://roaddogsglobal.blogspot.com/2007/08/hadrians-wall-and-jeans-first-dinner.html
Friday, August 17, 2007. Hadrians Wall and Jean's First Dinner Party. We woke up to the news that Countrywide Bank in the States was facing a possible financial collapse. Since we had serious money in the bank, we had visions of being financially wiped out – while we were on the other side of the Atlantic unable to do anything. Posted by Road Dogs.

Sunday, August 26, 2007. Tackling the London Traffic. We took the tube back to Queen's Park – 2 transfers and a horde of holiday makers and teens heading to the big festival in Notting Hill.
