I just finished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhuman but still….I did good overall.

I’ve finally arrived at a camping site with unlimited free wifi, so now I can update you all without any hurry.
I left you all just before I went to see Ice Age 3 in a cinema in Dorchester. Loved the movie, but I’m a total nut (notice the pun…?) when it comes to animation. Although not as good as the first Ice Age (and the second for that matter) I had a lovely time.
The next day I headed for Monkey World again. Didn’t see the complete park the first time and I had to say a proper goodbye to Sally (didn’t feel satisfied with the first goodbye).
It maybe sounds corny, but that’s just the way I am, deal with…I have

After my departure from the first camping site, I headed to Wilton House. One of the houses used in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. Some of the rooms were used as rooms in Mr. Darcy’s estate Pemberley. And I can totally agree with that…the rooms were lovely. They even had some original Rembrandt’s hanging on the wall.
Still being in total aw, I drove to the place where my home would be set up next, oblivious of my surroundings. It was only in the corner of my eyes, that I saw something that resembled Stonehenge. And what do you know…it was Stonehenge. Check…seen it, just in time to make some pictures.

Quick update:
Well, the days fly when you are having fun, and I do have fun. Since the last update I have seen Bath, the place with the Jane Austen Center and the houses she lived in. Salisbury (Jane Austen Museum and also used to be home to her) and the Winchester cathedral (Austen’s last resting place) have yet to be seen.
Yesterday I went to a Swanary and subtropical garden in Abbotsburry and today I spent in Dorchester.

(Sorry for letting you tilt your head, but a little exercise hurt nobody.)
And while Hardy was watching over ‘his’ Casterbridge, I went to the old Crown Court and the military museum and am about to check out Ice Age 3 in the local cinema.
Bye for now.

Finally found a wifi spot that is not secured so I can update some information.
Some change in plans have been happening and the vacation will probably be less literary than I thought at the beginning. The little bookshop town Hay-on-Wye will not be visited by me this time around, but Bath is still one plan I have not meddled with yet. Furthermore, I will probably visit two or three houses and gardens were the Hollywood people shot the film Pride and prejudice.
