hi.
how are you?
lets just say it's been a while.
it
really has, hasn't it?
well, i love you and miss you i promise. it's just that my consistancy, is terrible. and honestly i hope you have all been very disapointed (i say
you all as if i have hundreds of readers... a-heh, hi mom!) because that would mean that you have missed me too.
ye shall not be failed any longer. for måke is here to treat your eyes with the glory of enlgand.
and if you are like me, all you have time for is to skim through blogs with pictures only anyways. sorry cousins & friends, love your pics, and can't wait to read your stories, when the time allots! :)
i mean seriously, who has time to read blogs, keep up with facebook stati, sometimes write posts, take thousands of pictures, edits thousands of pictures, be a school teacher, be a primary choister, grocery shop, unclean the house, uncook and uneat breakfast, lunch and dinner, coreograph a peice for an edgar allan poe production of which your husband assistant directs, and possibly sleep a litta-bit.
already you have wasted 20 seconds for you collage-levelers, reading just that.
pointless mumblings.
so, i'll try to keep it short, but can't say that i'll refrain from quirky commentary, that you are likely to overlook, but will write'em anyway///
300,000,000,000 steps to the top of St. Pauls to get this shot::

the atlantic (number 3 of my 'put my feet in every large body of water' bucket list goal)


many, many laughs with two of my favourite soul sisters, in one of my favourite places on earth.

felt several times that i was on my way to hogwarts, or would soon be taken off to a castle with ivanhoe, or meet up with frodo and sam in the shire.


i said hi to jane austin.

got to see this amazing woman share the
one and only true gospel, and meet the people who's lives were changed by her message.


ate a delicious pasty in
bath, that was a one pound delight, and makes my stomache groul just thinking about it.

learned that getting engaged in england is as easy as going to the lou.

saw many sites, and captured many wonders, with my wonderful camera which i have fallen even more in love with on this trip.



discovered why so many great writers, poets, and musicians came from england.
uh, hello... you don't even need an imajination, the shire lies right before your eyes.





finally found the juice that i have wondered about my entire life.
my thoughts as a child have been: "of all of the juicy fruits in the world, how is it possible that juice is not made from the juiciest fruit of them all..."

and let's see what else did i do???
• went to a manchester city game
• saw the stones, trecked though the mud, and slopped through the poop of sheep at
avebury• went to stonehenge and saw the entrance and had a nice run-in with the night guards
• saw dowhnam village
• saw the city that Gordon B. Hinkley served in
• saw the spot where the first people of england were babtized
• saw
gadfeild elm chapel (the first chapel in england)
• saw
benbows farm• discovered the beauty of the lake district
• rode on the thames river
• rode in the passenger seat, that is ordinarliy the drivers seat. (ordinary meaning
66% of the world)
• stayed at a haunted hotel
• ate yorkshire puddings and an elglish sunday dinner
• hit a bird and didn't kill it
• went to both the London Temple, and the Preston Temple
• and muco muco more
so what do you think about
joining me on my next trip? instead of sitting there, wishing you were't sitting there looking at these pictures, but rather breathing the sweet parfumes, and hearing the rounded accents of the british?
