just a few last photos


We've been in England since December 12 but we are still not quite home yet. Spent time with family and friends over Christmas and now have a week with a friend in Hereford before we can move back into our house. During our trip we often did not get around to uploading pictures to the blog so here are a few before we wrap up. Hope to be back in our house soon so one more post then and that's it.
