English countryside

Yesterday was rad! It was a lazy day and we didn't go into town at all which was nice. Instead we went on a long walk through a bunch of farms in the countryside almost over to Farmoor. There is a huge  reservoir in Farmoor and it would have been super cool to walk around it but being that just walking to Farmoor turned out to be a little more difficult than expected the reservoir will have to wait for another day.


The trails here are called footpaths and are amazing because they all go straight through people's property and through their farms. Whish makes it so much more awesome. The scenery was outstanding! It was so blustery too! The wind was so strong at some points it felt like it would blow me over.


We became friends with a couple of horses along the way!


The path was pretty bizarre because where it came out onto the road there was about two feet of should on the side of the road that it was telling us to walk on with cars going past at about 60mph. 


Today I meant to get up and go to church where the Allens go to church. (The Allens are the family we are staying with.) But the time change is still kind of kicking my butt. After the first day I thought I was okay because I had slept through the night but the last 2 nights I have been laying wide awake all night until about 6am and then sleeping till about 11am. I am just all turned around :(


So, instead of church Linda and I cleaned the kitchen for about 6ish hours. It was Catrina's (the mom)birthday yesterday and we had just found out so we cleaned the kitchen as a present. It was so much fun though. We listened to awesome music, cleaned, organized, and had solid conversations about meaningful things! I loved it! I am so thankful for the Sharps! Then Jon came home and made pasta. His own 'special' pasta sauce and all of us ate including Peter and Catrina!

I love seeing the new (OLD!!!) stuff but I am always so thankful for nights in enjoying good company! It felt like home tonight.
