I changed Center to Centre. Thanks for catching my error. If you find anything else, let me know! I'd hate for my spelling to give away my nationality. :) Thanks for the write-up Antonia!

You have been to Blenheim on a countable number of occasions. You should therefore refer to "the number of times" rather than "the amount of times". It's the same error as is made by supermarkets advertising lanes for "8 items or less" when they mean "8 or fewer items".
