Jolly ole England






I flew off and spent Pesach in England with the Merwins. They are living in Old Basingstoke, which is not quite an hour outside of London. I took an overnight flight in, but ofcourse I didn't sleep. The man sitting next to me had the worst halitosis I have ever smelled and he kept sighing and coughing in my face for over nine hours. It was TORTURE!

Everything got better once I got to Heathrow! We saw Spam-a-lot in Covent Garden, visited Jane Austin's House, toured Bath and had tea. My trip was short, but very busy and lots of fun. I drank Ribena (mmmm, blackcurrant juice), ate a Crunchie bar (chocolate-covered honeycomb), bought Owen a Paddington Bear and got a 'football' jersey for Patrick. It was cold and beautiful. I love England!
