Highclere
I took a bus from Oxford to Newbury where I met a young woman from France who now works in England. During the journey, we discussed Harry Potter and listened to the sound track of Beauty and the Beast.
The Literature and Landscape tour of Highclere was more than I expected. As a special treat, the Egyptian exhibit was opened! During lunch I sat with a couple who was restoring their home and garden and we discussed remodeling. Another couple I met from South Hampton gave me a ride back to the Carnarvon Arms so I didn't have to walk in the rain.
Before taking the bus ride from Newbury to London, I had breakfast at Nelsons. The waitress and I had a nice discussion about blokes.
Little reminder of home. In Chelsea, the bus passed a statue of a boy and a dolphin. We have a similar one in Rochester MN.
Back in London, I attended the RHS Chelsea flower show. I was on sensory overload. I have never been to anything like it.
