Meet the Howards...

...Wells-Burrs and just about everyone else.

We're in England! Cora is enjoying her first trip back to Daddy's homeland and hometown of Martock.
We were nervous about the long flight, but Cora did very well. We had a little leather bed that attached to the bulkhead wall in front of us, and she slept a good six hours, and only cried a tiny bit at the end of the flight. Waiting for us at the airport were Stace's mum and dad and brother Dean and sister-in-law Jenny. When we arrived in Martock, we went to Stacey's nan's house so Cora could meet her Nannie.


We've been fortunate to enjoy some lovely weather; yesterday (Tuesday) was absolutely beautiful and warm. Luckily, that was the day Stace played golf with his friend Andy. Usually when Stace returns and plays golf with Andy, the weather is decidedly unlovely. While Stace played golf, Cora and I spent the day with JT. We had a California-style lunch in the back garden to soak up the sun, and even got a little sunburned! We also walked into the village to see the Treasurer's House, a 1260 stone building managed by the National Trust.
Today we're off to have lunch with some more of Stace's friends, and tonight we'll watch the Liverpool-AC Milan football match.
Right now, the birds are singing, the cows are enjoying their lunch out Sue and Gord's back window, and all is well.
