John and Marcy made it in to visit just fine on Tuesday a.m. They were pretty tired, but Marcy stayed awake until 10 p.m.! John Boy took a little snooze in the afternoon, but was able to get up and make it down to the Kings Arms pub to meet up with a bunch of Brian's colleagues for a few pints that evening. We made a nice little dinner at home so everyone could get some good sleep. Here's Marcy!
'ello from Mum Marcy! If you haven't already started saving $$ to come over to Oxford, do it NOW!!!!! This place is incredible (LOVELY!!). We have done all sorts of exploring in 3 days just here at Oxford University/surrounding colleges. We have climbed bell towers and toured the dining hall at Christ Church where they filmed the dining scenes for Harry Potter. Again, incredible!!! The people are friendly (ask John, he's talked to most of them...) and the city is clean and exciting. Kelly and I went to her Newcomers Club Coffee Wednesday morning, and met some of her local friends. We hung out at a local pub and met many of Brian's associates. And today Kelly and I met her friend Bettina for afternoon tea - scones and clotted cream alone are worth the trip over :) We are heading across the hall tonight to celebrate with K&B's Swedish neighbors for their daughter's "Name Day" (a tradition in Sweden).
Tomorrow we head to Belgium to visit with son Charlie!! His host family will be picking the four of us up at the airport and bringing us to LLN where Charlie lives. He pitches a game Saturday, and the team that he coaches plays also, so we will get to see him in action!! Think he is anxious to see his family (and speak English for a while - although I am anxious to see how well he is speaking French now).
I'm sure Kelly will post more pics after we get back. Isn't she doing a GREAT job keeping us all informed about their adventure? These newfangled things are amazing... :) Blessings! Marcy
