We've been packing our final days with all the family and friends we haven't previously seen, and plenty we've seen several times. We took in a classic West Country village show and a slap-up lunch in London, as well as more beach going, and...er...lots more lunches, dinners, etc. The weather has been idyllic by English standards and - of course - when compared to the weather back in Texas.
Thank you to everyone who's hosted us during our long sojourn on this side of the Atlantic, and for lots of others who have traveled to say hello. The invitation to Houston is always open...but maybe avoid the hurricane season.
And the winner of Frome's most beautiful couple...couldn't be here today.
Everywhere in Somerset is like this.

Two of the great West Country families - the Hollands and the Davieses.
And the usual chaos of a joint picnic.
Does it have a cold? No, it's just a little horse!

A somewhat alarming JCB demonstration.
Don't try it, Pete.

In Paddington station they show you the flights out of Heathrow! Look, there's Houston!! Oh...
Pete and Meg out and about in London!
At the National Maritime Museum.
Aye aye.
The place has some extremely amazing things, including this engraved cannonball from the Battle of Trafalgar.
Meg takes the helm in the ship simulator! We ran aground.

Together, and yet so far apart. Standing each side of the Greenwich Meridian.
