We landed in UK on the 6 July from the cleanest country(Japan) to London....the BA plane was late...waited 20 minutes before they told us what carousel the luggage would be on, the we walked straight though customs, never seeing a customs officer of a policeman the whole time... if the is a severe alert what would normal be ??.....is it 'fair to compare'
We stayed overnight at Holiday Inn ...Heathrow before ....quite comfortable to rest 2 tired bodies... the following morning we collected our hire car...a wee A160 mercedes.....a zippy machine for the English country roads...even the windscreen wipers come on automatically when you get a spit of rain on screen....
We travelled south the Staplecross near Bodiam the stay with Lesley and Michael
We had a really great week.
We had a day with Shirley and Rob on Tuesday ....Pete being attacked by a seagul for going a bit close to their babies, bit like our magpies back home.
The family day on the 14th was wonderful but a bit sad, not having our kids and Sam to share it with, meeting our nephews and neices for the first time (photos of all these will be posted on this site soon). The day was so special with them all making such long journeys to be there.
We met up with Shirley and Peter (Read) and Margaret and Bruce and their friends they are staying with, we had Sunday lunch with them at the Castle Inn sitting in the sun (yes it did come out for the weekend) Evelyn was able to give them some background of Bodiam and had a visit to Bodiam Castle with them.
We caught up with Richy before he got on his plane to return to Aussie.
We thank Lel for her hospitality for the last week and also Zena for doing our ironing.
We thank you all for making the 14th such a great day... we went to church sunday morning having 5 of us sisters there at one time boosted the congregation by 25%....building still standing last we heard (picture of the Church posted below)
We are on our way to Whiltshire (south west of UK) next..........
