Salisbury

Well we’ve had a busy weekend. Saturday morning we went to Salisbury in southern England. We got to see stonhenge. It was very windy, so we made a quick lap around the stones and headed back to town. The Cathedral is beautiful. Sunday we went to Bemerton for a service in a small church where George Herbert served. George Herbert was a poet and also wrote a book “The Country Parson.” That book has been very special to me so I wanted us to go. The service was very nice, Keelyn got to be the acolyte and lit the candles.
I was talking to someone after the service who mentioned he owned the house next to the church that George Herbert had lived in. He invited us to see it. We got to walk on the grounds and tour the old rectory. He was very gracious and we had a great time, turns out he is an award winning author — Vikram Seth.
Monday we visited a museum with tons of interesting things, too much to take in after everything else.
When we got back to Glasgow we had a few minutes before the bus left, and the driver invited Keelyn to get behind the wheel and “drive” for a while…one of the highlights for her.
