A Trip to See Brian and Christine:

On Thursday mom, dad, and I went to see Brian and Christine in Pidley, which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes north of London. We took the train from Kings Cross to Huntington (home of John Majors and Oliver Cromwell) where Brian and Christine picked us up. A trip to their house is always AMAZING. They always have a roaring fire, tons or tea and biscuits and amazing food, plus the company is hard to beat. Nicole and I cherish that we are so close to them as their place has been a weekend retreat for us in the past!! We went for a little English walk in a small town called Potter's Field where mom got to see some wild snowdrops that were growing in a field. We came back to their place as the rain starting to pour and had more tea and a wonderful dinner of steak pie, cauliflower cheese, steam veggies, and 2 deserts!! We came back home and collapsed from a wonderful day!!
