photos of England


Here's Popie with our friends Steve and Alice. Perhaps you can think of a caption for Popie's expression. Alice, obviously, is gloating about something.

The Thames, at the Iffley lock. In the middle distance you can see the Iffley church tower, 12th century building, where we worshiped on Sunday.
A pub lunch with the Trollopes on the edge of the Wirral. At this very spot travelers once set sail for America; now it is all silted in to a broad marshy meadow.
We went for a climb on this green grassy hill and discovered--golfers! Along with the sheep. Walkers, golfers and sheep all comingled. These fairways went ungroomed, unless the sheep count as groundskeepers.
It doesn't get any greener.
We had wonderful walking with David Okonji, although the weather was chilly.

The greenery is wonderful! Just as Popie's expression wonderfully expresses her fun personality.
I wanted to be sure to give you a warm Thai greeting from Connie and Chumley Eckerle, who visited Santa Rosa in early May. They were sure sorry to miss visiting with the Staffords! However, their sharing truly blessed those at First Pres.
Did you ever get to Czech Republic? Tonight is the first Enlighten Up! talk. It should be fun, but it's not the same without Tim.

In Barbados, sheep keep the grass on the cricket pitches short.
