May 20, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 18 °CThis morning Jenn and I visited the oldest wooden church in the world as well as a cold war underground bunker. Then the three of us caught the train up to London for a West End show. "Come From Away" was wonderful.
May 19, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 14 °COn the way we stopped at what was billed as the finest medieval barn in the U.K. (first 2 pics) Then on to a stately home. No pics allowed inside but a wonderful day out.
May 18, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 13 °CI gotta say it, Oxford is prettier. We didn't time it very well as most of the colleges were closed for graduation ceremonies.

Other highlights include the remainsRead more

Long flight with little sleep and I know now it really is worth all that extra money for a flat bed seat. Perhaps even more so for a short trip when you want to hit the ground running. Here is the view from my window and quintissentially syburban England.
Looking forward to some girl time before weRead more
