Autumn

It's autumn and might be our last autumn...... Leaf are turning red and will fall off soon.... It's a very picturesque view when travelling to/ from March, cos the tress are in different shades of colour (green, yellow, red). Love autumn, the sky is extremely blue and the air is crisp (if you know what I mean).

Like driving to March now, less scary and have finally built up my courage to overtake tractors or slow moving vehicles which are vehicles travelling less than 30mph (PS : My policy is only overtake vehicle less than 30mph, more than that, not so confident). The road I travelling to & from work is A10, A142 & A141 which consist of a single carriage way, to overtake, you have to go drive onto the other lane and watch out for incoming traffic before you do so. The speed limit on these roads are 60mph, however alot of tractors travel on this road, thus you can go as low as 20mph sometimes. I used to feel very scare and hide behind the tractors, not even bother looking to overtake, cos me TOOOO scare!! Now much better, but still got cars overtake me lar, cos me travelling just at speed limit.

Too much tractors/ slow moving vehicles on these road, you sure to meet at least one each day, I have decided that the day I don't meet any tractors/ slow moving vehicles (travelling less than 30mph) on the way to/ from March, I will go buy LOTTO.

Barcelona

Booked our air ticket (Easyjet) and accommodation (Residencia Australia, recommended by Serene) for trip to Barcelona in November for 4 days 3 night.

Because we bought the cheap flight, we are flying off from Stansted at 7.30am which means that we got to get up at 4+am!! Cheap what, only 75 pounds for two person (return), can't really complain, can I??

Have not research on the place of interest in Barcelona, thus any comment on place we MUST go or avoid are welcome.
