'Allo, mate!  I've been here 5 days. Let me say, Jill, I'm sorry but the blog must have changed their settings and it's not letting me upload photos on here. Sad face!!! I'm very disgusted & wished I'd known that earlier before my trip.  I'll try to pop a few photos on Facebook as most people may look on there.
Please pray for David. We were to celebrate his & Sandra's 40th ruby anniversary on Sunday. He had an episode Sunday morning so the guests of honor weren't there. He was hospitalized & still there currently. It was a lovely service despite the odd beginning.  Sandra did stop by in the afternoon, so we did a repeat of most of the songs and the special by her niece. We did stop by to see the family today.
Monday was a nice visit to Olney, home to John Newton's grave. Then drove on to Ampthill, location of Houghton House, believed to be the basis for House Beautiful in John Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress.
Tuesday found us back to school, for a Harvest assembly that Stan was speaking to the Year 1 & Year 2 students. We then toured the infant & junior school. Diane was loving it--seeing the similarities and differences of how the British displayed things in their classroom.
We also did our grocery shopping at Sainsbury's and Aldi's.
Wednesday found us dropped off at the Arndale, Luton's shopping centre to pick up a couple things and experience the local shoppes. We enjoyed the sewing & crafting store as well as people watching & listening to accents and many languages.
Tonight Stan made his infamous curry for us. Then we ladies took part in a Bible study.
Early part of this week was lovely weather with today having some rain, overcast & then sunshine.
Room is booked for next week's trip up North to see family. Diane is so looking forward to meet three generations of Grandpa Ellis' family.
Thanks for stopping by! Good bye.

Travel day is here!!!

I worked for a few hours Thursday, then drove down to Aunt DeeDee's.  Friday morning we finished packing and then Uncle Ronnie drove us to the STL airport.  We are waiting for our flight to Chicago. We'll depart there for arrival in London Saturday morning.
My plan is to post every few days what is happening.  I'm not sure about posting the photos through my phone as it is giving me fits. So watch this space!!! And next post, I'll see ya across the pond!!!

Prep time
So the countdown continues...I've been counting since maybe 70+... But now we are in the MONTH of travel. Yippee!!!! There's so much I need to do, but we'll see what actually gets done.  I'm hoping to use the blog again during our travels, so please....WATCH THIS SPACE. 😉
