Last week my parents came to visit me while Kit was in the US for work. We spent most of our time in Leicester, decorating the house, site seeing, walking, riding the bus and just relaxing. We did spend one fun filled day in London also. It was an amazing visit and I am so lucky to have parents that can hop on over for a quick visit. My parents had been to England 32 years ago and were amazed at how different it is now. When they were here before, there were no big supermarkets, you got your meat from the butcher, fish from the fishmonger, milk was delivered, etc. There are still those options today, but it is much more like America now.
We don't have a car, so my parents got a taste of the walking and buses we take everywhere. I think they were amazed that I walk to and from the grocery store. It was nice having someone else to share the load of groceries with. (I usually go almost everyday) It was a great visit and we got a lot accomplished, we even bought a tv!
