Advantages: Varied and interesting countryside with a wide range of towns villages. Disadvantages: conjested roads in summer , tends to close down in winter.
On my recent visit to Somerset a county in the south west of England this is what I did.
Just south of Bristol along the M5 lies a natural boundary called the Mendip hills. If you go through the hills you are in Somerset. The hills themselves provide glorious walks in both the winter and the summer. There are magnificent views and on clear days you can see for miles around. Looking south west you get magnificent views of the Somerset levels and Sedge more. This was host to a battle in the Civil war. Also deep within the hills is one of the U.Ks foremost pot holing and caving areas. There are commercial caves to visit at Cheddar famous for its Gorge and Woo key Hole; witch is a huge underground cave system. Doctor who was once filmed there.
Moving along we come to the Cathedral city of Wells. With its awesome cathedral it ...

Advantages: You can see where you're shaving Disadvantages: Girlfriend stealing it to do her legs etc

I've been using it virtually every day for nearly two months now and I'm not even halfway down the bottle yet.
For those not familiar with shaving oils, here is a rundown:
Wet skin in the usual way,
Put 3 - 4 drops in the palm of your hands,
Massage into ...

Advantages: great musical numbers Disadvantages: none
Before we had our two beautiful girls, my husband and I loved going to the theatre, particularly to see musicals, as often as we could. Sadly, we now have neither the time or the money to go, so I have to make do with listening to my favourite songs instead. I have quite a few CDs from musicals but one of my favourites is this CD - Performance by Marti Webb - as she sings many of my favourites from a number of different musicals.
Marti Webb was one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's leading ladies in the seventies and eighties, taking the lead in both Evita and Tell Me on a Sunday. Unsurprisingly then a lot of the songs featured are from Lloyd Webber musicals, although strangely not her big hit which was 'Take That Look of your Face', but there are songs from plenty of other musicals too.
