Last few days ...

This week was a little less busy than last .... Peter's mom and dad left today, which was earlier than they were supposed to; this is unfortunately because Becky's dad passed away on Wednesday morning. Tuesday morning Rick and Sharon arrived and Dave, Becky and I went to Stonehenge while they slept all day. Wednesday was a flurry of people as there were 5 of us in the house ... I took Rick and Sharon to the trainstation around 11 while Dave and Becky made arrangements to fly home a few days early so that they would be able to attend the funeral tomorrow.

Yesterday, we visited Audley End House in Essex Co. It was beautiful! Originally built as a priory, it has a long and complicated history and is now one of the largest and most luxurious homes in all of England. There were guided tours only, our tour guide was very knowledgable and showed us through the main rooms of the house. After that we walked through the numerous gardens and took a lot of pictures!










For dinner we went to the Officers Mess at Boscombe Down so Peter could show his parents around a bit ... it is a much fancier mess than what they've seen before. This morning I drove Dave and Becky to the airport and am now home relaxing and having a little vacation of my own!
