We have been here for just over a week now and I just told Bud that Mary Poppins didn't fly. He thought I was out of my mind...I told him that this country is so windy she would open her umbrella and just be lifted up in the air! Now she must have weighed under 100 pounds as well...but still Every night the wind howls through this old cottage and sounds so creepy. It's so strong that it moves the drapes and opens the front (inside door) opens a bit.
When you are on base where Bud works (Royal Airforce Base Menwith Hill Station) it is so windy it could knock you over! We took the kids to the park today because it wasn't raining, but it was chilly and windy. I let go of the stroller to help Audrey and poor Liam about flew away.
It is also Mother's Day (march 2nd) here in the UK! Yep Mums are so special that they get 2 special holidays! They celebrate Mother's Day in March and in May...sorry all you dads, you only get one day in June.
Also this is funny, we ate lunch at the Cattlemen! Yep we came all the way to England to eat BBQ. It was pretty good. When we told our waitress it was pretty good American food she smiled real big!
Happy Mother's Day!

Shelby and family,
I'm so glad to hear you've arrived safely. You seem to be in great spirits. I'm sure there are all sorts of new things to encounter each day. Just hold on to your hats, I suppose!
Cheerio! -Emily
Wow. Lots of wind huh? Our weather has been dramatically swinging between 65 and 25. Very strange here as well.
Love the blog!! Keep it up!
