Saturday in England: Audley End

On Saturday, the Boyers and I headed to tour this gorgeous home called Audley End about an hour away from their house.  They were having a May Day celebration so we went to check it out! This is a home where a well-off family lived a long time ago.  It was just so neat to see how it was set up many years ago!  It was also a gorgeous day so we all had a blast!

The drive there was just gorgeous!  These yellow fields were all over the countryside in England!  Just breathtaking!

There was a puppet show going on as soon as we got there!  Too cute for sure!

Daddy then wanted to show off his strength...
I went to England during Tunisian Labor Day and no Labor Day is complete without salt and pepper chips!

Then we went to the nursery which just opened!  Since it can get busy, they only allowed people in there for 30 minutes which flew by but it was so much fun for us and the boys!

The girls' awesome dollhouse!

They had a gorgeous tulip garden





These singers were absolutely hilarious!

Loved these horses at the May Day interactive class

Look at all these tomato plants in the greenhouse!!

It was time to head back to the Boyers' house, repack the car, and head to Norwich for a going away party!

We stopped for dinner at this Belgian restaurant!  I finally found beer I like!  Cherry and raspberry!

Two chilly girls eating Belgian stew outside

I got to see Kristen Norman at the going away party!  She went to same church my family goes to in NC before she moved to England!  Now she lives in England and goes to the same church as the Boyers!

A fun beautiful English day for sure!
