we're still here...

Time really does fly when you're having fun.
Sam and I have been just going, going, going everyday that I haven't had time to update the blog in a while. I can't believe it's Friday afternoon already and I haven't written anything since Tuesday.
We've done a lot in the past few days, which I how to recap in separate posts later on.
We're now in Barton staying with Sandra and Vern, Sam's mother's good friends. We had another day trip planned today, but Sam fell ill. So while she's been sleeping adn recovering, Sandra, Vern and I went to a local nature preserve to do some bird watching.
It was a good day to go out because we saw a deer run across along a field and down a road, something Sandra and Vern have never experienced before and they've go to the nature preserve about once a week.
After the hourlong walk, we came back to their house, had a cold drink and some lunch and then lazed around, hoping Sam might start feeling better.
She appears to be feeling a bit better, but she won't be staying up late tonight.
I, on the other hand, am going out to some local pubs with Sandra and Vern's youngest son, Ian, to get a taste of how the English handle a Friday night out.
It should be a great time.
