Oxford & Home

When we got back from France we were able to spend some time with my dad and his new wife Elaine. They threw together a last minute meal and fed us (Thanks) we had a really nice time just relaxing



I do love this country, I know I'm biased but really the life is very laid back, well at least if you live in the countryside.Good ole' England with its endless rolling hills and sheep grazing! nothing like this to bring you down to earth!
It is so very cold though, not the usual Sacramento cold we feel this time of year but the type that no matter what your wearing will find a way to penetrate your very core in about 15 minutes. Still, cold an all I love this place.
This is outside Rolfe & Michelle's house... so cute, I say cute but it's bigger than our place back in Sac! maybe we should move in ;-)


This is a house they are taking care of just down the road, Ella loves the fact they have chickens and a few dogs.
Helping Uncle Rolfe with the chickens, Jude kept his distance but Ella was right in there!







Today we went to a place called Chipping Norton just outside of Oxford and what a sweet little Village. It had a lovely little Theater that was showing Jack and the beanstalk unfortunately we didn't have time to stop and catch a show! but as we walked along the street look what we came across!




How cute is this Kingdom Hall, we didn't get to look inside but it's not all that huge, although I think Rolfe said there are two flats above it.

We endedup in a small Pub (of course!) and yes the kids felt right at home as if they were in the Bon lair!
