Abby is playing at a friend's house this afternoon and grandpa and I are wandering around like 2 lost souls. Ger and I had a wonderful morning in Windsor watching the changing of the guard and being treated to a mini concert by the palace marching band that comes through the streets of Windsor, leading the "New Guard" from the barracks to the castle. The changing of the Guard was amazing and I am so glad we made the effort to go see it. We then took a ride on the "Windsor Eye", a large Ferris wheel that is set up near the river Thames. The views or the river, Windsor and Eaton were beautiful. After that we had a lunch of fish and chips down by the river which is FILLED with swans, ducks and geese. You can see from the photos that it is another beautiful day today. We have all the heat of Florida without the AC. Thankfully the windows in this house are HUGE floor to ceiling panels so with them open there is a beautiful cool breeze blowing through. By morning it is actually cold in here, the temperature drops so much.
I have included some photos of Kyle and Bridget's house taken from the path that cuts off to Abby's school. It gives you a good idea of the lovely setting this house is situated in. There is a small play ground to the right of the large gates and Abby's school is about 100 yards off to the left.
We just heard from Abby's friends mom and the girls are doing great. Looks like grandpa and I will have dinner alone tonight. Abby is staying at Savanna's for pizza and then will be home around 6:15. Savanna and family are fellow Americans here in England for work. All the young moms from the school are lovely but it is extra nice to speak ENGLISH, even though Savanna's mom is from South Carolina and talks funny.
