Drinking Lots of Tea....

I haven't had much time to blog but the vacay so far can be summed up in three words: Best Vacation Ever.

The flight was amazingly easy (hooray for the empty seat next to me) - the only rough part was a funny (now anyway, it was pretty damned scary when it happened) run in with immigration.

And, of course, there was a lot of nervousness when Matt and I first met (although immigration really made me forget about being nervous about Matt for a few minutes) but by evening the nervousness was gone and it's been absolutely amazing ever since. He's absolutely wonderful - I'll leave it at that. :)

The first day we walked across the street to the cathedral - this is the close which I love:















On Monday we went to Bath to visit his sister, Ruth, who took us on a tour of the Roman baths amongst other things.



















I've got loads of pictures but need to clean them up before posting them. Yesterday we went to Stourhead which was an amazing garden and today we went shopping in Winchester, Stockbridge and Oxford. Tomorrow - London and, finally, some yarn shops!

Not the most exciting post ever, sorry. I really need to sit down and write in my travel journal since I haven't even done that since I was on the plane, about to take off. Maybe after I make note of all the amazing things I've seen and done, I'll have a little bit more to say here. It's been wonderful so far, though. I could just say that over and over and over....
