Almost the End

So, my trip to England is almost over.  Wow.  I don't even know what to say.  London was so wonderful.  Wells is so wonderful.  They are so different, but both so English!  I still have to go back and fill in some things, like Bath, but I thought I should write tonight...my last night in England.  It was wonderful...I went to town with Mrs. Marilyn and we went in some shops, then had tea.  Then she went to run some more errands and home to make phone calls and I wandered around the village a bit more.  It is really small...if I knew the way I could walk from one end of it to the other in a day...probably less.  The other day we went to Glastonbury and went up on the "tor", which is the "legendary burial place of King Arthur".  (that's the tower in the picture post)  From the top where the tower was you could see Wells...six miles away!

Anyhow, after wandering the shops a bit I went back to the house and left a couple things I had bought and headed out to the fields.  There's a great footpath right down the road (it leads right into the city) with a field beside it (the picture of close-up grass with field in the background).  I went through the field instead of the paved walkway, and then got an ice cream cone and started out on the little path which actually leads to the next village.  It's a big open field with a little paved path through it.  I went a ways down that (I could still see the gate back into Wells) and then sat under a big tree for a while and wrote in my journal.  Then I headed back to town and went in a bunch more shops.  I got a lovely black with white polkadots dress and some earrings before I decided I should go home before I buy anything else!! 

So, I came home, called some people, watered the grass (just got new sod), and had dinner (great rice with "spanish chicken" sauce and veggies), watered the garden, had dessert (biscuits with clotted cream and strawberries!) and just emailed and such until now. 

Tomorrow: leaving here at 7:30, arriving at the London airport around 10, plane leaves at 12:20, arrive Chicago around 3:30, leave Chicago around 6:15, arrive Nashville about 8.  Sleep.  :)
