England Week 2

The second week was spent with my family, and Mum and Dad generously chauffered us around that week. First a trip to Kent to see my Grandparents and then a day with Carolyn in London. Richard met up with Elaine, while Carolyn and I went to Kew Gardens after a delicious but rather garlicky lunch in Carluccio's. We all then met up in the evening and went to see 'The 39 Steps' in the West End. Highly recommend it - it was hilarious.

After that, it was off to Coventry for a couple of days with Elisabeth and Paul. As North Americans visiting the old country, we decided to get some history and had a great day out at War-wick (be sure to pronounce both w's) Castle. Now Taussauds runs it, it seems much more commercialised that when I was last there about twelve years ago, but still a great day out. On our last evening we went out for a proper pub meal - pie and chips. Mmm.
