Ten Year Anniversary - Living in the UK

On July 20th 2008, Linda and I had the awesome privilege to go live in the UK for eighteen months. We returned for our ten year anniversary of leaving the states to go live in the UK.  We had lunch with my UK colleagues, had an evening with Nick, Sharon and Ann and went to church with the folks we had the honor of getting to know while we lived there.  We were able to enjoy the cooler weather and walk through memory lane.  It was great to be able to return to our home place in the UK.  If only the UK would allow us to immigrate, we could have purchased the flat right under the one we lived in.  Of course, there was lots of shopping involved. For those afraid to drive on the opposite side of the car with a manual transmission, I just did it which included driving on the left side of the road. For our all of our friends far and wide, here is a link to the pictures we took on this trip, Ten Year Anniversary.

For our new friends who did not know us when we went over to the UK to live, this is a blog of all the places we visited while we lived in the UK.

Our Last Holiday - Athens

In November, we went to Athens. It was nice to be in a warm place for a few days. We were a little concerned about arriving in Greece since there was no passport control. This could be because we were flying from an EU country, at least I hope so. We did pick up a book of Paul's journeys around Greece. We got to see a lot of ruins again. Here is the link to the pictures, Athens.

The Place we called Home

Here is one last look at the place we have called home over the last year and a half. It has been a beautiful place to live. God's creation has shown the use of some very beautiful colour throughout the year and a half we have lived in England. We will be coming back to Colorado for Christmas and returning home permanently at the end of January. Enjoy the pictures from our second home, England. Here is the link to the pictures, Harrogate.

Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes

It was nice to go south again and get some warm weather. I found my dream home, my next birthday present, I wish, and saw racing cars. What else could you want?  I did not realize the beach in Nice had rocks instead of sand. We bought some great items from Nice. Next trip is to Athens in late November. Enjoy the pictures, here is the link,  Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes

Rome

Here is the last trip we took. The rest of the time, we have been staying close to home. Jon, the car that you would love to have is in the pictures here.  As I stated in church this morning, it is hard to believe the Roman ruins are still there. Just another example of God revealing himself to us. Here is the link to the pictures, Rome.

Scotland

The week before we had to turn the car back in, Linda and I went up into Scotland. Our first stop was to Dean Castle in Kilmarnock, Scotland. This is a castle which was owned by the Boyd family for a while. This is Linda's ancestor. We also went over to Glasgow. While we were in Glasgow, we drove up to Stirling for Church. We were hoping to get to see Tristin Block, but they were not back over here from the States. Here is the link to the pictures, Scotland.

Zurich Switzerland

Hi, it has been crazy at work again, so I am a bit behind. The trip to Zurich was wonderful because I got to see my daughter. I have not seen her since last Christmas. We were also able to eat some of the best fajitas I have ever had. We were able to relax and get warm again. England is cool even in the summer. Enjoy the pictures!!
