Things work out for the best.
Okay this entry is a little delayed. I started writing it and then got busy. I’m still busy now, but I’m taking a bit of a break. Well after we didn’t make it to Stratford, Jennifer and I decided to go to Blenheim. It was a perfect day outside. And I’m actually glad we went there instead of Stratford. It would have been a good day to walk around a town, but it was even better to walk around meadows and gardens. We walked a lot, saw a lot of the grounds that I hadn’t seen before on my visits, and talked and took pictures. I don’t know how to describe it. We met a man from Tennessee and kept running into him. And kept seeing American families. We had a guy ask us if we wanted our picture taken, and we said sure. But it was weird because while that’s something that would happen in the States, it doesn’t happen as much here, that a stranger would just talk to us. But the day made me really happy, and I’m really glad I made it to Blenheim in the spring. It was beautiful. And since I can’t describe it, I’ll just put up some pictures. There will be more on Flickr, but here are some highlights.
We found some cool trees with really big roots. Amazing! We decided after discussing our love for trees that we might be considered tree huggers. Haha!
Swans!
Sheep!
A nice guy took our picture in front of the gates into the palace.
It says this is where Winston Churchill proposed.
In the US to grow roses it seems like people take so much time on them. Here, they just seem to grow everywhere.
Another cool tree. It was huge!!
I love waterfalls.
The picture in front of the main fountains that I always get with whoever I go with, holding my hand out in front of me. A “Joe picture” as my mom would say.
