Before jetting off to Paradise in Greece my life was action packed here around the manor. The weekend prior to Greece, Laura and I celebrated our British mom’s birthday. On Friday night we went out with the entire family to a pub just outside of Grantham for the largest fish and chips I have ever seen in my life. Hopefully the picture will help, when I say this was the largest fish ever put on a plate in front of me! It was a lovely night out and visits with the whole family, who truly has taken Laura and I under their wing and treat us like their own family.
On Saturday John and Jenny picked up us early and we went to York for the day. York is a cute old town in England with shops that line the cobble stone streets and have houses so old they lean to to where they almost make an arch over the streets. They also have an amazing cathedral like many other towns in England. We had lunch and tea in York and then headed back to the manor for costume ball, yes in November, better late than never right?!
Costume ball was a blast, Laura, Veronica, Danielle and I went as Miss America contestants, in which I was Miss Congeniality. We had a high top fancy dinner with wine and dessert then danced the night away in the Great Hall.The weekend was then followed by a week filled of three Term papers, two presentations, an exam and a quiz, but after that it was all about Greece!
