Lewes Castle Trip-Senior Outing

Senior Outing to Lewes Castle with Wallaces and Maddens.  We love the rain!  If you chose to stay home in England when it rained, you would never go anywhere!

Lewes Castle, about 45 minutes from The London Temple where we live.  Wonderful history and quaint village.

We wondered why there was a Russian cannon in Lewes...I forgot to read the sign!

Favorite companions.

I've been having trouble with my knee and other joints, but I made all those steps in the background.  Then the turrets in the castle about did me in...  But the view from the top was worth it.

Old bookstore.  Sister Madden found the Harry Potter book she was searching for...

Dinner at Paglia e Fieno in East Grinstead - anything from pizza to liver to "dirty beef" and a salad I had that I didn't know what I was eating half of the time!  (But it must have been healthy.)

Devon Trip to See Eileen Haines - Baptized 48 Years Ago April 20-22

Back of the Reading Chapel, the mission headquarters for the British South Mission when Elder Parker was here 48 years ago.  Left doors were to the mission office at that time.

Clifton Suspension bridge we crossed at Bristol, England.

The Royal Hotel in Weston Super-Mare night before arriving at Eileen's.

Back of hotel was just a few hundred yards from the sea at Weston Super-Mare.

Tiverton, England, near Eileen's home of Witheridge.

Mitre Inn in Witherideg, just a few blocks from Eileen's home.

Elder Parker loves the traditional English breakfast!  It always includes baked beans, one fried egg, mushrooms, bacon (ham), and sausages.  (Usually there is a fried tomato also.)

Exeter Chapel in Exeter, England.  (Eileen's Ward.)

The Devon countryside is exceptionally green and beautiful.  This picture does not due it justice!

Springtime Is Here 2018 - Finally!

May 1st - Elder Pendleton's Birthday.  (L to R:  Elder Tandiman, Elder Pendleton, Sister Gorgas, Sister Harkness.)

Thai food at Windsor with Elder and Sister Madden.  Any season!

Busy Day Moving Missionaries/Temple Reflection at Night

This was the only picture we took of the moving of missionaries from one flat to another near London.

After a long and tiring day, a walk around the temple is very peaceful.  The pond was exceptionally clear this evening and the reflection perfect!  Good way to end a hectic week as we had transfers again...  Only two more transfers till our mission merges with England London Mission and England Birmingham Mission.  Then we will close the office here and be re-assigned for our last few months in England.  We will miss these beautiful temple grounds where we live.
