Your teachers had a lively Sunday. We hope you had a great weekend, too. Ms G, E, and A can't wait to hear your stories!
Today, we went to mass at the Sacred Heart--attached to Wimbledon College (the Wimbledon version of Jesuit).
It was a boisterous family mass. And Sr Dorothy was there to greet us!
We then had a gorgeous drive out to the country (county Kent: the garden of England...) and a visit to Chartwell, Winston Churchill's home.
So many achingly lovely pictures were snapped with the real camera. Unfortunately, my eye-fi card is full, so you're stuck with iPhone pix from here on out.
After a great lunch and a saunter through an English lavender field (thank you Anne!!!), Ms G and I went into London for dinner, Mrs E and her husband who just arrived went on a nighttime tour of the city, and I hope our gracious hosts had a nice evening to themselves to rest and enjoy an empty house.
On our walk back home from Raynes Park station, Ms G and I encountered some foxes. "Just don't back down," I said. And home we walked, unscathed....in the middle of the street. (Mom, it wasn't too dangerous. They were much more interested in the garbage and backed off when I stared them down.)
I can't believe tomorrow is our last full day! I'm already dreading saying goodbye to our great friends here. And thinking about stepping onto the 108 degree jet bridge after living with lovely cool temps this week...ugh.
Parents, we'll see you at our baggage claim. Please email Ms Nipp if your work schedule prevents you from being at DFW after our flight arrives (4:30, I think) and we clear customs and baggage claim.
Cheers!
