Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a cooler, quieter day and a lovely roast for dinner. Last night was a challenge to find a comfortable position to sleep after my flop in the street. A huge bruise on my leg and my right arm is still very sore but I think I am going to live. Ger and I slept in till 9 and then after breakfast with the family we all headed off to church. Thankfully Bridget drove us into town so we didn't have to walk in our Sunday Best. The church, St Edward the confessor, is a lovely old stone church. Not too big but beautiful stained glass windows and great stone statues. We met the priest on our way in and he immediately welcomed us to the "best,(and only)Catholic church in Windsor. He asked where we were from and at the end of the mass he welcomed all the visitors from Florida, Australia and wherever else. It really was quite nice. After church Abby and I spent the day playing while Kyle got to the gym and Bridget got to do some clothes shopping for their trip to the Ukraine on the
20th of this month to get the final paperwork done for the adoption of Roman. Abby tired me out playing princess and queen, (I am the queen because "Queens have wrinkles on their faces, princesses do not"), so that when Kyle came back from the gym I took a nap and left Abby in charge of daddy and grandpa. I needed a hour to just crash and have some uncrowded sleep. (Have I mentioned that Ger and I are sharing a DOUBLE bed? It is tight quarters but we have been so tired that it hasn't mattered.) Princess Abby woke me after a much appreciated hour and we all had a lovely roast chicken for dinner. Dessert tonight was a, ("A" as in ONE), cookie. The cookies are a bit strange, a round cracker like thing with chocolate coating on one side. They are called,. . . (are you ready for this?). . . DIGESTIVES ! Now how appealing is that? They don't taste bad but what a name!
Our First Sunday in England was lovely and quite enjoyable. It was a little cloudy today and quite a bit cooler, thank goodness. I could have stayed in Florida for hot and humid. Tomorrow Kyle leaves for Germany for 3 days, Abby returns to school after her week off and Ger and I may attempt a bus trip into town to check it out on our own. If there is no posting tomorrow night you will know we are lost somewhere in the wilds of Windsor, riding a bus never to be heard from again. Maybe we'll meet the queen.
