Running thru life... UK New Years

December 30th-

Swinton and Malboro

Joe and I slept in relatively late and woke up at 11 am. 

We then headed to Swinton which was a nice little town that was very pictuiques.

We stopped and had tea. 

Joe and Mark shared High Tea for two while the girls had soup and sandwich. 

Most excellent

Tea time-  +3 for the UK

I found a red phone booth.

I wanted to get a picture with me in one!
Total obsession!

Leftover dinner at home followed by a fun game of catch phrase.

Totally love this game!

Dec 31st

We all slept in and then packed an over night bag for Salsibury.

Shannon and Mark were awesome and booked us rooms so we could just take a taxi and not have to drive!
Each room was 19 pounds or roughly $30.

It was actually a really nice hotel!

We headed out to see the Cathedral in Salsibury.

Normally, you have to pay to get in but because we got there really late- we were not charged!

This is where the magna carta is stored- we did not get to see it but still cool building. 

Then we headed back to the room for a quick nap followed by Champagne and Appetizers
which Shannon and Mark had arranged. 

Then to a Thai restuarant for a delicious meal.

Then we walked literaly 3 doors down into a cute little pub that was busy but not packed.

We got beers/cider and got a table

The were serinaded by a bag piper.

Then watched as the time counted down on Big Ben.

It was truely one of the most enjoyable New Years Joe and I have shared together.

It was wonderful to be in another country/culture and be with friends. 

We headed back to the hotel and were in bed by 1 am.

We woke up and stopped at a little bakery for breakfast before heading back to their house.

We hung out for the majority of the day and had a wonderful feast that night.
