The Sun Keeps Shining!




Seriously, we have had so much sunshine here in England. We were expected it to rain everyday since we arrived and the majority of the time we have had sunshine. Granted, we are used to gray, rain, and a lot of it. So now that we have a bit more variety than the typical gray, we are loving it. We have had some great times in the outdoors since we have been here (pics to follow). Two weekends ago we went to the Lake District with a friend and did some hiking and had a cup of tea at an old slate shop that they have turned into somewhat of an outlet and tea house next to this great little creek. And then last weekend we ventured out with two guys who invited us to climb a 'mountain'. We didn't think too much of it since this is England but it was actually a nice sized mountain and quite a hike. We ended up being able to climb up two peaks that day. It was nice to get out despite the cold and rain and climb a mountain.
I apologize for not having pictures up for quite awhile so hopefully today I can get some more up. We are much more settled in and enjoying the time. Enjoy the pictures!
