Last Days in the United Kingdom

We're living in the midst of suitcases and boxes at the moment, but interspersed with the busyness and stress of packing have been wonderful times with friends and last visits to favourite haunts. On Wednesday we had a two visitors from the States and we took them to Seaford Head:




After walking a little way up the cliffs, we drove further on to one of my very favorite spots, Beachy Head. I'd never actually seen it on a sunny warm day before. Unfortunately, my pictures didn't come out, so there are just a few to share here.


Then we stopped at a pretty country pub for Elderflower cordial and Pimm's.

This is the only picture I got of Taylor and Brian!


Yesterday we drove up to Gatwick for more boxes and on the way back we stopped off in Ashdown Forest to see Pooh Bridge!

Iain thoroughly enjoyed the walk down. We collected sticks, saw a toad, found a hollow log, picked up some pebbles and stood on a stump. Iain got filthy and had a fabulous time.

Pooh sticks!


The stump!

What a lovely place-- just one of many near our home that we love.

We went home and packed some more, visited with our dear friend Anthony, and had supper with our friends Phil and Maria. It was a busy, blessed day, like many we've had recently.

Bye, bye, England! We will miss you!
