England swings

England swings like a pedulum do .... yea, we saw it all. West Minster Abby, The Tower, Big Ben, the rosy red cheeks of the little children. We saw all that and so much more. But most of all I enjoyed meeting my fellow clusterheads. Peter, thanks for being there for lunch, meeting you was special. Hoots, well, the bus tour and day in London was fabulous. Fenny, your family and the way you welcomed us in to your home was by far my greatest gift on vacation. Love you all ....... but boy am I knackered (that's tired in proper English). We even got to go to church in York Minster Cathedral. OMG, what an experience. Angels singing from heaven comes to mind. I couldn't possibly list all of the things we did, but let it be know ........ we did England (all of it) the proper way. Spending time with Kim was wonderful ! I just can't express what this trip did for my mind and soul. Anyways, if you have the chance to jump the pond and meet our English counterparts ..... don't miss it, it's the chance of a lifetime. Simon, where the hell were ya ?????? I was in Cambridge, were you in London ??? LOL.

What a great time it sounded like. Too much said about English weather and food, the hospitality really shines and it sounds like more than can be imagined. What a nice time. A real clusterhead special time. Nice post.

OMG thank the lord they've left, I have 4 children and still the noise was never that loud! I swear you americans even have larger vocal chords  ...I've had a great time, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even if it did take me 8 hours to get home from Yorkshire!! ( 3 is the norm...but's thats another story...).....seriously I wish you didn't have to go...either of you.
Im hoping that somehow we can get pics of Nancy and Kim swinging through the trees up 35 feet, now that is a sight!!!!
Here's a couple of pics of the trip to London.....Jonny will tell you who each person is.
Nancy thanks for introducing me to your family who were very special, and just for sharing your time with me...I miss you already...and Kim ssshhhhh... what can you hear ....nothing

Hi Kim and Nancy and Fenny
Glad you all got home in one piece and that Yorkshire was good. Great county and York is very special ( I met my husband there)
Just thought I'd let you know that there is a whole thread on OUCH UK where Peter is telling the guys who didn't make lunch what they missed!
He is convinced Kim looks like Jennifer Aniston, so they are really pissed off they didn't meet her!
Serves them right
