erailed her trip with Megan and Peter in
October. I picked Mom up from Gatwick on November 13, and we began an intensive round of sightseeing and eating! We went to all the sites she missed out on from Megan and Peter's visit, including a mother/daughter trip to Bath and surrounding sites. The Christmas market was on in Bath and we (and most of England) were there. It was a traditional German market with the chalet style stalls and lots of handicrafts. We also made a trip to Stoke-on-trent with some other friends from the base and I got some beautiful English pottery and china. I attacked Burleigh first and got our new every day dishes from their blue and white lines--calico, felicity, arden, and bluebird. I LOVE THEM! Then, we went to Royal Doulton, and I found some beautiful Monique Lhullier china, but they only had the bread and butter plates. But, thankfully (yes, says Kent, thank goodness!) they had dinner plates and the accent salad plates at Harrods--which was another great day in London with Mom. All in all, a fabulous trip! Mom left on December 1 and two days later, Christina Broberg, a dear friend from our time at Travis AFB in California came to London with her daughter Abby (Madeleine's BFF) to visit her sister who is living here with her family. She took a whole day and came to visit us. We loved seeing them, catching up. Amazing how with some friends it seems like no time passes, even though it has been years since we've been together.
