You’ll notice the trip countdown is now absent from the sidebar.
Well, my wife and I have decided to put our trip to London in March on hold.
There were many reasons behind our decision that I won’t really go into. I’m really gutted about it but it’s the right thing to do right now.
We’re planning on maybe going in November. But March is just too soon, despite all our planning. We’d like to wait until the economy improves a little better.
We will be going again as soon as we can, but for now we’re staying put and we’ll start saving for the next trip. It will also motivate me to work extra hard on this blog (and my many other web projects) to earn the money to go.
So, no London in the Springtime for me or walking through Shaftesbury, Dorset on a cool March morning.
We’ll be going soon enough, though.


























Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dreams of traveling to the UK whenever we want a reality.
Oh, I’m really sorry Jonathan. I appreciate how heartbroken you must be. This bloody economy is affecting everyone in one way or another. I’m worried about our trip as well. Good luck to you.
Jonathan, I’m so sorry to hear this. I know how much you were looking forward to it.
Thanks for all your kind words. I really appreciate it.
Jonathan
So sorry to hear the news. I,too,had to postpone my trip this spring. I’ve been using the blogging world to console myself. Thanks for all the posts to help me keep a stiff upper lip.

My room in London is booked for May but I haven’t purchased a flight ticket yet. I’m not sure if it’s a great idea to spend the money indulging myself in a holiday with the economic situation. The furnace died this Winter to top it all off…sigh.
What a shame! But I totally understand; we put our family trip to Boston on hold till next year. Here’s hoping we both have an even more fabulous time because of the wait!
Thanks for this blog, by the way. I LOVE it! One of maybe two I look at nearly daily.
