Our first week in England has been very interesting! We love the people we have met, especially the Foy's, who are the other missionary couple we will be serving with. They have been showing us around, helping us to acclimate to the different time zone, as well as driving patterns! It's still unnerving when you see cars and trucks speeding towards you on the "wrong side of the road"! They say I'll soon be driving here, but I'll take as long as they let me! The round-abouts do seem effective, but I don't want to accidentally go the wrong way... We have visited several of the farms we will be working with and have been able to help outwith the activities. The weather here has been "unseasonably warm"! While it's only in the 70's -80's, it's still warmer that we would like and are looking forward to some nice London fog!
Saturday we went exploring with the Foy's to the lovely Burghley mansion, where the royals would visit in the 1400's-1800's. We took pictures of their elegance, and of the sculptures in the fun surrounding gardens. We also visited St. Peter's Cathedral in Petersboro, which is also very beautiful. We love old historical buildings! I also took pictures of local houses that are cool, and it's just so curious that they still use "Thatched roofs". Some day I'll find out why, and then you will know why too!
