A Week With Emma

I arrived in Grantham on Bonfire Night. Im not entirely sure if we were celebrating or commiserating the death of Guy Fawkes, but either way it was a fun!

 It was also really nice to meet Emma's(right) Friend Joni(Left)

It was too bad the entire night was ruined by a dinosaur attack 

During the next week we visited some great places:

An old Pub (the oldest in England)

An old tree (The Great Oak in Sherwood Forrest)

An old church (Lincoln Cathedral)

and an old friend (Elliot)

It was so good to see Emma and meet her friends and family!

And what a great surprise to see the only remaining Sheffielder, Elliot!

Ariane, My Favorite East Anglian

I arrived to Ariane's after a 9 hour train ride across the entire island of Great Britain, longer than my flight from Chicago to London. 

It was so nice to see Ariane after more than two years . It was also great to see some of her friends again, and meet some new ones, especially Sebastian Ari's boyfriend.  

I would Like to thank s Mr. and Mrs. Nicholls for letting me stay in their cosy house! 

I stayed upstairs 

I also have to thanks Marcus, Ariane's brother, for letting me stay in his room while he was away in the North Sea on business. 

 Ariane's room was always a mess! I dont think she

 Ariane and Mrs Nicholls both cooked wonderful meals. Eating lovingly prepared food really made me feel at home.

 Between trips to Norwich for a night out, Great Yarmouth for mini gulf, a castle in south Suflok and and stately house in north Norfolk I always had enough to read.

The best part of the entire week was spending time with my very good friend Ari! Oh and beating her and Sebastian at mini gulf! I guess we Americans are just much better at most things.
