I'm back! The mysterious disappearance of Willow for almost a month is solved! That three+ week trip I took with my daughters also included New Boy and The Professor joining us. Basically, five people were involved and all five of us had different itineraries. Since Younger Daughter is an administrative professional, we assigned her to the task of buying our plane tickets, and although it took one and a half hours, she was successful. Where did we go?
ENGLAND! Be prepared for many many photos!
But before I embark on the photo dump, I want to write out my Friday Fave Fives. What were the best blessings of our travels?
1. The precious times with my two daughters for the first week. Holy Island, Hexham and Hadrian's Wall, York.
2. Safe travels for everyone, especially the solo flight home for Younger Daughter and then The Professor and New Boy flying to meet his mom and me. And of course, our different flights back to the US.
3. Easter in Canterbury. That was very special as we attended morning service at St. Martin's Church, the oldest church in the English speaking world. Then we went to Canterbury Cathedral for Evensong.
4. Reconnecting with a college friend who now lives in North Devon. But! She just happened to be in London the exact same one day we were there! So we enjoyed hours of conversation and catching up.
5. All. The. Memories. Glastonbury, Jurassic Coast including Swanage, Poole and Corfe, Canterbury, Isle of Wight. Don't ask me to choose my favorite place. It was all wonderful.
But I am glad to be home.
OK. Here are a few photos. Just to whet your appetite...

What a wonderful trip. So glad you were able to go and make the trip with family. Great pictures and awesome memories. Glad you are back safe and sound. Have a good weekend.
Yes, it is definitely hard to pick a favorite spot in Jolly Old England. Glad you were able to have this extended time there with the daughters, New Boy and the Professor. What a treat! We really enjoyed York and walking the wall. Dear and I were in Canterbury in 1973! Happy last days of April.
How wonderful! So glad you all got to go and everyone was safe while traveling.
So happy you all had a wonderful time. Now back to a beautiful midwestern spring. Mary
