Well...must play a bit of catch up. I suffered what I believe to have been strep throat last week. It was a self diagnosis as they do not test for strep here. The Dr. just look at my throat, took my temp and gave me an antibiotic. Jason had an exceptionally busy week as well-so we are thanking god once again for our wonderful neighbor, Kate. She took the kids to school, picked them up and even fed them dinner one night.
We ventured out north on Saturday...to buy me a VW Touran. We found a dealer with a used one that was a demo for the dealership-complete with DVD system. It was a mere 2 hour drive smooshed in Jason's car-but it was nice to see a different part of England. The accents were quite different and the people were more friendly. Since we were so close to the Peak District we thought a nice drive there and an overnight would be fun. The Peaks are rolling hills with the old stone fences-very pretty. However-we have 3 children and you can guarantee something to go wrong right? Turns out Jillian gets carsick. After cleaning up chunks of happy meal and running out of clean clothes we went home instead.
Sunday-another cloudy day (I think we are going on 10 sunless day now). After church we went out to a pub for our new tradition, Sunday Roast. There is a nice highly rated 'family friendly' pub in a neighboring village. Family Friendly=smoke free restaurant and child size portions of all menu items. Jason thought he knew where he was going, and ended up taking the back way. After a bit of driving through an area that made it seem we were trespassing we saw a sign that said "Ford ahead.' Quick what does that mean? Oh...a river crossing without a bridge.
