Nadolig Llawen from England

Hey look! We found Mom's car over in England:

It was a nice Christmas trip over to Tamsin's house. I really should have updated sooner, but with all the new micro-bloggy-thingys out there, typing more than 140 characters seems like somewhat of a chore. Also, I am in school and lazy. So, as always, enjoy a short photo essay of our trip:

We got ever so dirty exploring bunkers and foxholes. But at least we were safe from the french.
Funny story about this next photo:

So I am in an Art History class and we were looking at the progression of portrait styles during the renaissance. My teacher showed us a picture of Henry VIII(when he was fat) and said "If any of you have been to the Tower of London and seen this painting and armor, you know how big Henry was, in more ways than one..." And I burst out laughing (see picture of Henry VIII armor) but I was the only one, and then the teacher pointed at me and said "YES! Finally someone got that joke!" Everyone else was confused.

Playing Nine Man's Morrisey at the Tower was fun, although I learned that people from the 1200's were smarter than most people think.
"No, you can't take my picture." Sucker

MY FAVORITE CHEESEMONGERS: www.paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk

Overall trip: Excellent, having LishBish there only could improve it. We are looking forward to all the foreigners coming over here for a change in April, but in the mean time I am trying to make all of my smuggled cheese(how did the dogs miss that one?) last.
