We're in England right now. We are staying on a farm that has three cottages for vacationers. It's called 'Nailey Cottages'. The farm is about two miles from the town of Marshfield, which is between Bristol and Bath. Bristol is a pretty large city on the west coast of England. It is absolutely beautiful here!! The English countryside is just gorgeous. Rolling hills, small country lanes, and hedges and stone walls to border everything. We went to Stonehenge on Sunday. It was a neat place to see. I do have to say it looks smaller in person than you would imagine. Yesterday(Monday) we took a day trip to London. It was about a 1 1/2 hour drive each way. Of course, with us, you have to double that since we tend to take wrong turns on the roundabouts and roads just don't run in a straight line here. Eric has done really well with driving us around on the left side of the road and just so you know, escalators are on the left side system as well! We took a double decker bus tour in London so we could see everything fairly quickly. We also took the Tube (subway). We'll post more pictures as we get them but here are a few from what we've done so far. Enjoy!
