Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few pictures of our Thanksgiving at the pub. We all had roast pork, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. So good! The cook, Bill, chatted us up as we ate. Isabella chased the pub's cat around, while Katherine mostly slept. Mark took a picture of me, which was awful. I'm not Photoshop savvy enough to shave off 30 pounds from my picture, so I'll leave that one out.

Fixin' Things

Yay! A seamstress is in the house! Elly teaches Isabella all about hemming curtains.

What?!!

Ha Ha! The English get a chuckle out of this too.

The Kitchen

Now that I've got the kitchen clean, after tidying up for Nick and Elly's arrival, I can post some pictures of it. It will probably never be this clean again--well until Mike, Hope, Veronika, and Lauren arrive. Here are some pictures...

This is Isabella's bean plant that is growing wild. She started it from a seed at school a couple of weeks ago and it's about to strangle my begonia.

Pretty in Pink

Katherine's 7 weeks old today!

She's Smiling!

Katherine is smiling now!

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November...

This is our neighbor's mountain of trash...um, I mean wood, ready to be lit for Bonfire Night. They celebrate the thwarting of Guy Fawkes' plan to blow up the Parliament about 400 years ago. See the little stuffed "Guy" to be burnt in effigy? Long live King James! For a brief history and to purchase souvenirs, go here...
