At a pub for two guys birthdays that are in the program.

It was karaoke night so one of the birthday boys got up and sang. 



I helped a friend by volunteering for a cycle event. At the end we handed out goodie bags and medals.
Later in the day I got moved to looking down this long path and telling the bikers to turn.
This is where they turned on the path. Most missed it when they didn't have anyone there.
Surprised one of the kids for his birthday and then ate.
trying new flavors of malt. I forget what it was called but it tasted like Baily's and started with a V. My friend misunderstood and thought that the liqueur was alcohol and started to act like she was feeling it.
Poffergies.

This is the cool t-shirt I got for volunteering and a water bottle.
One of the students turned 5 and bought treats.
Had never seen these before but it was delicious.
The sheep got almost as much attention as the rocks at Stonehenge.




She took pictures every 20 feet. I asked if it changed and she said no but she had nothing else to do.

They didn't mess around when building things. This is just a drain but looks fancy.



pasties are common and cheap. We all tried one for lunch on our trip to Bath. This is a chicken and vegetable one.

Pride and Prejudice part 1

A tree with lots of owls on it. At the National Trust Park outside of Warminster which is 30 minutes outside of Bath. This has the place where Darcy proposed to Elizabeth in the newest version of Pride and Prejudice.
We bought a picnic lunch and ate on the bench with a great view.

The view we had when we ate.












This tree is huge! My three friends are at the bottom to show how big it is. They don't have them like this in Iowa.

Gothic Cottage One small room with a fireplace. I bet a bunch of people lived in this small room at one point.

Old fashion source of energy.

Check out the view

The spot where Darcy proposed.
In the taxis on the way back. We were scared at how narrow the roads were whenever a car came. The taxis driver said that he has to be careful when the come across another car.
Wedding party in kilts taking pictures on the bridge. My friends liked that the bride was a ginger.

London Eye Pictures

So this is at least the fourth time I typed what I want to say with these photos so most of  them will not get typed again. Most of the pictures were taken when we went to the London Eye.
