Rod made another friend in the UK- Paul

Another lovely spot in Berwick is the Doolally coffee shop. What a name for a coffee shop hey? They have the most colourful sugar sachets I've seen in the world, AND they make the best wheat-free chocolate cake I have tasted. Mandy reckons too that their carrot cake is to die for!

Then after all the excitement and family nostalgia in Berwick, we headed off and touched Scottish soil, and then headed south again to the Lake District.

On our way we got lost- I mean lost and couldn't find the exit for quite a while, in the maze at Taquiar House. Once we had laughed our way out of that maze, we found our accommodation for the night in Ambleside.

Early in the morning we took a stroll along the lake and met Paul, sitting quietly on a rock looking over the lake, watching a few ducks paddling between the yachts.

Paul and Rod

He didn't have too much to say to me, but he and Rodrigus seemed to get on well and swapped email addresses. Perhaps if you go to Ambleside too you might find him, contemplating life as he sits on his rock, and you can say "Hi!" for us! Actually if you do find him- you've got to send us a photo! Ok?

From Ambleside we went to see relatives in Warwick, and explored the Warwick castle while we were there! Geez, it was windy up on top of the wall!

Then we had our last few days in London, catching up with friends, friends, friends, and more friends. Like the Williamson-Nobles- here's Lyn with her dogs:

It was so good to see people who have been such parts of our lives at certain chapters, and to reminisce of those happy times! And catch up on what has been happening in their lives since our paths crossed so many years ago. We look forward to the next time our lives can touch yours gain for a brief, wonderful moment! And Rod enjoyed meeting you all too!

And that was our whirlwind trip to the UK.

Rod was back for just a few days when he got a call from Clint to go with him to South America! Can't wait to see those photo's and hear about his adventures there!

Till then!
