Actually, there were no automobiles involved in this leg of the journey. After flying into and staying overnight in London we jumped on a city bus and headed back to the airport. At the airport we took the express tube to Paddington Station which is the place to be if you want to take a train. We boarded a train there and headed to Stroud, our first stop in the English countryside.
In Stroud we were picked up at the station by Heather and Jonathan. Heather and Char were classmates and roomates at a boarding school in India. That was a number of decades ago although I am not permitted to say how many. They haven't seen each other since. We have been treated like royalty here. We have our own suite which is part of Heather and Jonathon's home. They have taken us on great walks through the beautiful countryside. Yesterday we attended a wonderful traditional Anglican service and then headed out to visit Oxford University where Jonathan studied. We have enjoyed Heather's incredible cooking and good conversation late into the evenings. Today we board another train to continue our trek through the countryside. Comments are closed.
