I spent the last few weeks before my return to the states in Gloucester with family! We were able to have some great adventures during this time!
I spent lots of time hanging around with family! Terri and I enjoyed a couple of walks up Robinswood Hill where we got some great nature views and views of Gloucester! We also enjoyed a nice day at the spa where we enjoyed a great afternoon tea and the sauna, jacuzzi, and pool! We also had a birthday celebration and went out to eat for Sonia’s birthday! I enjoyed hearing about all of their adventures on their cruise of Asia! So cool!
I got a chance to visit Uncle Frank in Northampton again! Though this time I got to meet two of his daughters and their sons! They have 7 boys between the two of them and I loved getting a chance to meet them all! It was a lovely visit and a great time!
The Victorian Christmas Market came to town just before I left so I was able to check that out a couple times! I went one afternoon before I went to see the Crimes of Grindewald and enjoyed lots of free samples lol! Then Terri, Tyler, Olivia, and I went again and we enjoyed a nice afternoon of ice skating! Tyler got really good as time went on! Although, he seemed to enjoy me pushing him around the most haha 🙂 I sure will miss these Christmas Markets, that’s for sure! They are simply magical!
We ended my time there with a fantastic Thanksgiving celebration! We gathered all the family together and had a great little celebration and send off!
Off I went to London where I spent the day with my cousin! We went on a tour of Tower Bridge and went on the Tower Bridge walk! It was really interesting and awesome!! Then I walked around St. Paul’s Cathedral a bit, before heading to the John Snow pub to see John Snow’s Water Pump (The water pump that he figured out was causing the outbreak of Cholera in 1854) then walked around Piccadilly and Oxford Street a bit more before meeting up with Marguerite again to go to the Troubadour – a pub in London where many famous faces have been including Jimi Hendrix! We had a nice time listening to live music and even made freidns with a girl traveling from Michigan! I love the cozy pub atmosphere! So friendly!
I am so very grateful for all of my family in England who welcomed me with open arms! Having a place to go to on weekends and people to visit and relatives who were so close and caring made me feel not so far from home!
They’ve been the best and I’ve loved every minute I got to spend with everyone! They’ve truly made this experience better for me! Though it was hard to say goodbye to everyone, but like Pooh said “I’m lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard” and I truly am. For all of the friendships and family I have in both countries that make saying goodbye hard, I am so blessed and thankful. ❤ I love you all!
❤ Meg
P.S.
This may be my last post! I’m not sure what I will do with this blog now that I’m back! Life is always an adventure, so I suppose I could post more, but I may not and I may just post one last post – like a reflection piece about the whole experience! TBD! 🙂
