Visitors

My sister, Robin, and her husband, Darren, came to visit last week! We have been so excited to have family come and stay with us. We finally got our shipment of our household goods just two days before they came, and one of our cars broke down the week before they came and still isn't fixed... so we might not have been the best hosts, but I think it was still a successful visit! :)

We took them around some lovely little villages in our area and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. One thing we are good at doing is walking, walking, and walking!

We visited Warwick Castle and really enjoyed it, even in the pouring rain.



A few of us spent a day in Oxford, and I loved it even more than last time. The architecture really is amazing there. We ate lunch at the pub where Tolkien and CS Lewis used to get together to talk, visited a lot of the University buildings, and let Anna lead the way with her little map.



Robin & Darren spent a day in Ireland, attended a Manchester United soccer game, and hung out in London for a couple of days. It was hard to say goodbye, but we are so glad that they could come and visit and we had such a great time with them!
