home.

we woke up this morning and drove to Bryanston school, where rupert and his siblings went to jr. high and high school. they actually live there, so there are dorms and everything. it's similar to a small university campus in the states. it was such a pretty school! they also get to choose the subjects that they study. for instance, tabitha has a business class, which i think is so great because unlike the states, they will have some background when they get to university.

we picked up his adorable sister tabitha and went to the salisbury cathedral. it was absolutely stunning. i think i've found my favorite stained glass windows here in the uk! so beautiful, and thanks to the photographers tabby and mrs. loyd, i have some great pictures of them! then we headed back to their house and went through mrs. loyd and tabitha's wardrobes to pick an outfit for a party they have coming up. i just about died! they have such beautiful clothes and it was so much fun to try on some of them! it reminded me of home! then we went to the movie robin hood. i actually quite liked it. of course rupert knew every historical fact they got wrong... he's a complete genius. [oh, and did i mention they got me some pick and mix?? AMAZING.]

once again our dinner was so great. Mrs. Loyd really is phenomenal, and it was so great to get some home-cooked food. we watched their late night talk show, hosted by someone i call ross perot. i think my favorite part of the weekend was the fact of being in a home! palace court is so much fun and i love it, but it was so nice to get a good nights sleep for the first time since i've been here! they made me feel so welcome and i enjoyed every minute i spent at the mildenhall home.
