My last post touched on our Christmas dinner with our neighbors Greg and Aleks, so I'll start the next day.
1. Christopher's family arrived, and we moved into a beautiful four-bedroom house for the week. It had a normal-size fridge. Needless to say, we were in heaven.
2. We trekked to the Cotswolds and had a private car tour from a local. We saw Shakespeare's home, Anne Hathaway's cottage, and went into an active church so old and original that it didn't even have electricity.
3. While the rest of the group headed to London and visited the Tower of London, I stayed back, did a little last-minute Christmas shopping, and worked on a few projects.
