update

Yesterday, I went from sausage sandwich with brown sauce for breakfast to wandering around a 600-year-old castle to watching birds of prey swoop around in the sky to watching the sex and the city movie to drinks in a random bar in Birmingham. Today, the first thing on the agenda was a visit to the original Cadbury chocolate factory, where we got a TON of free chocolate, then to Crewe, where we walked around a 500-year-old house and garden. Now, I'm watching Wimbledon and awaiting an amazing roast dinner made by my teammate Ali's mom. I'm off to London tomorrow morning to sign all the contracts and move into our house!

Will post pictures and details of the past two weeks as soon as I have a second to breathe...
