Day Trips Thursday Malvern Hills

Thursday Malvern Hills
I got to go here right after I moved to England and really liked it. So I made Dave come to do rehab on his ankle by hiking. Yeah, I just about killed him, but it was worth it. He took me to a different hill than before. After I ditched Dave, I continued up to the second hill and ran back down. It was pretty; if you want a semi-steep hike and a good workout, go to Malvern Hills.

Day Trips Wednesday off

Wednesday off
After the mess a couple of weeks ago where we were in the hospital until midnight because Dave fell off a wall at his friend’s house and I had to drive his car (manual and on the other side of the road) to his house only to find that the water in the bathroom was everywhere. We waited until 2am for the plumber to finish, so I didn’t get to sleep until 3am. Well, this was the day that the plumber could come and fix the hot water because Dave hasn’t had any since then. So we didn’t go anywhere because you know with repairmen, they can come whenever they want just to mess up your day. I went to school and got stuff done, like my lesson for Sunday. We found out that the YW are assigned to sing in church Oct 24th, so now we have to pick a song. Any ideas?

Day Trips Tuesday Stratford-Upon-Avon

Tuesday Stratford upon Avon
I had wanted to go to Oxford, but Dave woke up too late (not a morning person), so we only drove to Stratford it’s not too far away. It is a fun little town, but totally a tourist trap (I did buy a postcard for C&B). If you must go, just walk around the pretty town square, unless you are a Shakespeare freak then go take the tour of his house.

The top of the street Shakespeare lived on has this Joker statue.

Can you see tiny me?

Day Trips Monday Wales

Dave had this week off, so we decided to do some day trips.

Monday Wales

Today was a bank holiday in England and the first day of adventure. Dave took me the scenic route through Wales and we ended up in a small town that was hosting a bicycle race.

He took me to the beach in Swansea...

(I'm really bad at aiming the camera)

...and we drove by where Dave went to university.

Plus Dave served part of his mission in Wales so we visited with his friend Maria’s family. She literally lives out in the middle of nowhere.

(The road kept getting narrower and narrower)

It was after midnight when we got home, but worth it.

Got 'em

Molly was nice enough to bring me Twizzlers from Utah since I haven't found any here. Thanks!
