2007 visits

Our plans for 2008...
So far this year we've had two trips to London, the first to Imperial War Museumthe Imperial War Museum and another to see the fascinating Tutankhamum exhibition at the O2 arena (no gallery though as photography wasn't allowed).  For our holiday this year we're off to the scenic Gower Peninsular in south Wales in July.  Later in the year we plan visits to St Paul's Cathedral and the Cabinet War Rooms, then in September we've booked to see 'Joseph' and in November we're seeing the comedian Lee Evans locally.  No doubt we'll be finding other day trips to interesting places, watch this space!

Previous Year

What we did in 2007...
We kicked off in April with a visit to London and the Kylie exhibition and the Globe Theatre.  Then trying to dodge the Shropshire holidaysummer showers in July we ventured up north for our Shropshire holiday, where we enjoyed several walks and tourist attraction visits.  Other activities included an August visit to the Tank Museum in Dorset and in September a tour of London's Tower Bridge Exhibition.  We went away again in New Forest mini-breakOctober for a mini-break in the New Forest - and had better weather than our summer holiday!  Disappointingly, a number of our planned visits didn't materialise due to the rotten 2007 summer weather!

We have links to related tourist websites to our visits.

Site Usage

May report...
May proved our busiest month ever!  Ever since we removed the framed layout at the end of last year we've witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of visitors, rising month-on-month.

In May the various product reviews were among the more popular pages, along with the New Forest, Lake District and Somerset galleries.

Search terms used that have returned our site include: 'tourist places in uk', 'uk tourism videos', 'walkers sat nav', 'camcorder wind gag', 'hendon aviation', 'panasonic 3ccd camcorder', 'steam engine video clips', 'bovington tank museum dorset', 'brean down webcam', 'aidensfield great britain'.

Increasingly we're seeing search words used related to our product review pages bringing us visitors.  A fair number of them arriving this way are then going off and looking at our touring pages.  Whoopee!

Website Plans

Right at the end of 2007 we launched the 'frame free' site and during 2008 we're hoping to attract some advertising.  Well, we've gotta pay for our holidays somehow!  We added an RSS tourist news feed/blog just prior to the start of the 2008 tourist season and plan to develop it as the season progresses.  Longer term we plan some new pages - a 'rants & raves' page to highlights the best and worse points of tourist attractions and a UK touring guide page.  We also need to split our tourist links page which is now rather bloated!  Oh, and add a search facility to cope with our, by now, many image galleries!

We also plan more product reviews to compliment our camcorder, Sat Nav and talkie walkie reviews, er, when time allows.
