Rain, Rain, Go Away

Friday, we headed north to visit the beautiful Lake District. We had a hostel booked and were planning to spend the night and spend 2 whole days there. But it was raining and so cold!!! My jeans were soaked up to my calves by the end of the day and it was just not going the way we wanted it to. Most everything we wanted to do was closed on account of the rain. Erin, Christina, and I decided we weren't going to stay the night (Erin never was going to). I just thought it wasn't worth it to be wet, cold, and miserable and spend the money. We did go see where William Wordsworth lived and where he was buried. We headed home after that. Christina and I left together and we barely missed the 4:00 train so we had to wait another hour to get out of there. We just killed time in a grocery store. We got on the train and ended up waiting a whole hour more because the train in front of us was broken down. When we finally got back to Huddersfield we missed the bus so we had to wait another 40 minutes for the bus. Just not really our day!!! What we did see of the lake district was really pretty though :)

Can I live here some day??? But without the rain please. Thanks.

Table Table

So on Saturday (the day we were supposed to spend at the Lake District) was just a day of relaxation. I slept in, went running with Carianne, read a little, talked to my family on skype, talked to Ash Hill Bri Kyler and Ashlee's fam on skype, and went out to eat at a place called The Aspley Table Table. It was good food and a good time!

Our daily bus ride!

Lovely Sunday

Yesterday (Sunday) we stayed after church to practice our song we are singing in sacrament meeting next Sunday. So we were waiting for the bus inside (because it was raining) and it only comes once an hour. The bishop and his wife were leaving and offered us a ride home. We squeezed into their car and on the way home they invited us over for dinner. They are the nicest people! We love them so much!! They are so good to us. We had a delicious dinner. We had chicken with onion sauce, yorshire pudding, potatoes, corn, peas, parsnips, stuffing balls, and gravy that you put on everything. We had 3 different desserts! They also had the elders over so we had a lot of people there eating.

This is us smashed in their car!

We were killing time waiting for Bishop McEwan (have no clue what the spelling is) to come pick us up for dinner.

Dinner clean up


This is us on our very first Sunday in Huddersfield. We get there about 20 minutes early because of the bus system set up. We were DEAD tired from the jet lag. It was about 3AM Utah time when we were sitting here!
