I went for a long ride with Louise today in her Morgan. Her classic car has the power of a jet and Louise casually zipped us around to Henley and Marlow and several other towns. You can see by my seat belt that this is a race car.
In fact, Louise and 14 others are driving their classic race cars down South to Portsmouth where they will take the ferry to France and then drive to Le Mans where they will race. Her brother, who will also take part, drives a classic Ferrari.
After my drive I went to Sunday lunch with Louise and Mariam. The Sunday roast is a tradition and they wanted to make sure I had a true English lunch.
Louise told a story about her nasty neighbors who saw poo in their yard, saw the same poo in Louise's yard and accused her of letting her dogs out in their yard. After several rounds Louise got a camera attached to the house and it turns out the poo was from foxes that recent our field.
In fact, the 80 year old neighbor feeds the foxes every night. He says it's his only vice.
This is a picture of ubbsy flubsy. He's a strange looking alien-like doll of the kid whose parents own the local Chinese restaurant.
She adorable, but that doll is a freak show.
Speaking of Portsmouth, the girls were doing a bit of shopping to help Jennie out of her depression over not being in England. Is Diane wearing her new Red Sox hat (it's used, but new to her). Miss you all....

We had a great weekend with Jenny -- food, drink, movies, Mad Martha's, beach, park, lunch, drinks, shopping, shopping, and more shopping! And I did wear my new (to me) hat in your honor. Miss you! xoxo
