Travels in England took us to many friends and family members. We enjoyed visits with some folks we had not seen for 15 years including a lovely lady who arranged the flowers at our wedding in Rhodesia 44 years ago!
We enjoyed the company of Peter's South African niece, Tina , for a week in Cornwall. Tina and I enjoyed seeing the Eden Project where an old clay pit has been transformed into an amazing botanical garden which features a steamy rainforest biome, Mediterranean biome and outdoor features such as a decorative edible garden. We also trekked over sections of the Cornwall Coast Walk for delightful views of rocky coast, sandy beaches and a riot of wildflowers.
Back in London, a friend guided me through a walk in the Chiltern Hills, northwest of London. I was amazed during the hike to be walking through the Chequers estate--the Prime Minister's country residence. I couldn't imagine the secret service allowing hikers to wander past Camp David!
