Day 6 with some photos

The first picture is Kyle and Abby in their back yard. We had gone outside after dinner to play a bit when I got this shot. I know it looks like they are at the Queens Palace but it is just the little garden in the back of their house. The garden is filled with lavender that is just starting to bloom and the most magnificant yellow roses that I have ever seen. Many of the houses have rose gardens in their 6 foot front yards. Small spaces are overflowing with the most beautiful roses I have ever seen. It is a pleasure to walk the streets looking at these flower shows.
The second picture is Ger, KYle and Abby standing on the main corner in Windsor with the castle behind them. Windsor is a touristy town but remains quaint and inviting. In this photo we were on our way to the train station to go into London for a ride on the "London Eye", the gigantic ferris wheel that you see in the last photo.
Hopefully I can now include more photos now that I have figured out the process.
Today was a quiet day because we are getting ready for our next adventure to Stonehenge tomorrow. This is a big adventure that entails 4 train changes and a 2 night stay in Salisbury. What are the chances we'll find our way back from this trip?
So today we spent the day doing some laundry and catching up on little things that we have put aside since we got here. Ger is nervous about our adventure but I figure we can't get that lost. We are doing pretty good on our own and I am getting more and more comfortable with our new surroundings. This afternoon we walked over to Abby's school to pick her up and got to meet her teacher, Mrs. Jones, and some of the other moms and kids. We have gotten lots of invites for play dates for when K&B are in the Ukraine so I think we will do fine.
The day today was a mix of rain and sun. Woke up this morning feeling quite chilly and am now sitting here in my tank top and shorts. You need a complete wardrobe to just make it through a day.
Another FYI for you . . . Government healthcare over here is interesting. The night we went to the hospital to check out my shoulder it didn't cost us a penny. No question of insurance or payment. That was fantastic! It was also very speedy. From the time we walked in to the time we left was exactly an hour. That was also great!
BUT . . . They don't have a doctor seeing you. We were seen by a paramedic and there are signs all over telling you that there are no doctors available. You can't go to just any hospital as most of them don't have emergency care. When we saw the "doctor" he asked why we were there and that was the only thing he focused on. He didn't care that my hand was bleeding, my arm was scraped or my hip was bruised. I came in and said "I HURT MY SHOULDER" and that was all they cared about. Didn't take a temperature, blood pressure, ask about meds, NOTHING . . . just the shoulder. So although it is efficient there is a good possibility you could die.
