Over the June Eid holiday, I was able to spend a few days with our good family friends the Goodwins: Jeff and Maruska and their kids Alex and Sophia. They graciously welcomed me into their beautiful home in Dunton Bassett, England. It’s about an hour north of London.
While the kids were in school, I’d join either Jeff or Maruska for a walk through town with their dog. Then a run. It was so nice to enjoy some fresh, green space and even some rain. (It is the UK after all!)
They also took me into Leicester to see the newly opened King Richard the Third exhibit.
Perhaps the highlight was the incomparable Chatsworth House and Gardens. I do have to give props to the exhibit featuring dog themed art, aptly named: Chatswoof. Spoken proper British that is.
Sophia and I also spent considerable time on construction of a (lego) mansion of our own.
We enjoyed lots of relaxing time around the house and neighborhood there in Dunton Bassett. Thanks so much to the Goodwin’s for hosting me!
Part 2 is KC and Canada. Part 3 will be Kenya and Tanzania before getting back to a new school year in Saudi. Stay tuned!
