May 10

Friday, we went on an outing with the senior couples and the young sisters.  We visited Lyme Hall and Gardens.  It was cold and damp some of the time, but the sun did come out now and then.  The gardens were impressive and peaceful.  Even though spring is at least a month late in coming, there were still beautiful flowers to enjoy.  It was fun to tour the house and we had lunch in a little shop at the home.  As much as I enjoyed the house, the opportunity to talk to other couples was especially helpful to hear what they were doing in their assignments.  After seeing Lyme Hall, we took a scenic bus ride through some pretty green hills out in the country.  It was a nice day.  Some of the things I am enjoying about England are the flowers, some of which are new to me.  I also love the birds.  There are lots of birds and their songs are very sweet.
