England, Oct. 15-17: Very little rain, down to 39 degrees last night, but sunny. Perfect for hiking, riding, running…very active village!

So many social events available…there’s a 59-page booklet of activities just for October! They have clubs and groups for every possible interest. The Victorian Hall, a music hall from 1853 that has never been closed–tonight has a performance of three Charles Dickens ghost stories.

I also did some research involving fascinating homes and stage coach inns from the 1600s to the early 1800s, including a Quaker graveyard. The photos don’t do the buildings justice–each one is so unique.
