Our main base (off and on) while staying in
the UK was at Worthing, Sussex, where we all
stayed with Clive's Uncle.
This page covers our first couple of weeks.
We particularly wanted to celebrate Guy
Fawkes night there. During this period
we had a few day trips out from Worthing,
and also struck out for a few days on a bed and
breakfast tour of Devon and Cornwall.

stop at Stonehenge. The kids having fun
using the handheld audio-tour guides as
ear-warmers. Tracy explaining that the
below-zero temperatures didn't appeal to
her and that it dissuaded her from going any
closer to Stonehenge, which would still be
there in another thousand years anyway (or
something like that) |

Palace Pier at Brighton (only a few miles away
from Worthing). Great fun in the arcades
and the rides |

tacky tourism - King Arthur's Arms at Tintagel,
Cornwall. (supposedly where Camelot was).
Not quite as tacky as the 'Excali-BAR' pub.... |
