Welcome BBQ

We arrived at Heathrow on time and met up with Carol and Greg.  We took the 2 1/2 hour drive up to Lincolnshire (Boston) and Jenny talked the whole way to keep herself awake. The countryside is extremely flat but very lush. Most of the homes along the way are brick and very old. They have a beautiful historic look to them which makes the drive really interesting.  We arrived at the Clare residence to discover that they have a palace.  It's a 5 bedroom, 4 bath home on the river with a pool.  The photo here shows the back yard where we had our welcome bbq.  The senior staff of the Pheonix Federation schools welcomed us with a beautiful spread (sausage, chicken, salmon, salads, breads, carrot cake and black forest cake).  What a way to start our journey!
