Rail Passes

Another milestone today- we got our rail passes for England. We'll wait 'til we get over there to pick up our buss passes- cheaper that way. Barb has been traveling everywhere she goes with a very pregnant corgi who finally announced that this evening was THE TIME! So off we went after picking up our passes, to the vet for a c-section. An hour later we had a basket full of 8 puppies, 4 girls and 4 boys! What excitement! There are 5 red and whites and 3 tri-colors, all 10oz or more. Momma Jenny is doing well, altho' she's a bit confused about not having to be in her crate to get dinner. She forgets that the whelping box is in the bedroom still. It sure is a blessing that Barb has an experienced dog person for her house sitter while we're in England!

They've done a great job of presenting the castle fully furnished and decorated as it would have been "in the day"- from dungeon to state rooms. Even the smallest details- like the wood carvings on the walls was very beautiful. The first sight of the castle is pretty impressive- you walk around a corner of shrubbery and there it is- massive! It sits on the River Avon- but no moat is in evidence. I don't know if it ever had one. It doesn't appear like it now. Throughout the displays they dressed very realistic looking models in the clothes/ armor/ or tools of the period. It oftened seems like their eyes were looking at you. With the complex...
