Anyone Have An English Honeymoon?

My bad    ! I should have read the whole post, as a seagull is mentioned. Sorry Mori! (A poet and I didn't know it)

Is the delete/edit button coming soon, POE? I really NEED it.

After our reception in 1977 which cost £74 back then, my new wife and I were setting for Scotland for our honeymoon. But, after leaving West London, we first stopped overnight at a motel south of Bristol, and had a romantic dinner followed by gazing up at the stars wondering just what I'd gone and done?  We wset off up the M5 & M6 then our Renault 6 with tubed tyres constantly started getting punctures. Several visits to the recpetions of a national tyre distributor added more charm. We set off for Loch Ness and took a few photos where I thought i'd captured a photo of the legendary monster, but no, it was a distant shot of the wife. More punctures and by now was starting to feel pretty deflated all 'round. Giving the whole honeymoon idea up as a bad job, I made one last attempt to add some more memorable romance to it, and stopped off at Gretna Green, the last puncture still not repaired. Comming back out, another tyre had gone flat, as the spare was too.

Our honeymoon by now was really going nowhere, though found a garage open that was able to fix things.

I decided to escape back to England and to our flat above a fried chicken takeaway shop where I'd concluded there's no place like home.  After 30 years, perhaps we should try again; the honeymoon that is? Clearly, there was a moral here somewhere, and what happens if you honeymoon in a Renault 6.

I'm from Charleston, SC USA. Charleston is 540 miles South of Washington, DC and 580 miles north of Miami.

Our honeymoon trip to England in 2006 was actually my first trip out of the country(Canada doesn't count).

We had a great time. It was hot as heck but luckily we had a A/C in the rental car although our hotels in Stratford and Aldwark(N. of York) did not. The countryside is beautiful and as verdant as I'd heard. Idyllic Cotswold Villages. Went to Blenheim, Stratford, Warwick, York and lastlty London.

You have a beautiful country and I wish that I could have come over when I was in my 20s intead of having to wait until my 40s.

We are trying to get back over for the Goodwood Festival of Speed but my wife is trying to get time off and I'm trying to figure out to pay for it with the stock market being down and real estate off greatly.

Never mind Jo, we all do it.

I had my honeymoon in Wales. Because I live in England and was born in Wales, I thaught it only appropriate.
