Today we finally got to do some cycling! The best part of cycling in Britan is that they actually like cyclist here. Motorist don't swear at you but are patient and give way. There are bike lanes, paths and even a designated part of the sidewalk for bikes!! We did some cycling out of town on beautiful roads that wound through the countryside. We stopped to look at this little church along the way.
We met a caretaker there who was getting ready for a funeral in the afternoon and he showed us around. The rose is called Peace and it smelt wonderful. The roses in England are spectacular. The first vicar served there in the 1300. We also got a beautiful view of the city.
The kids did really well in town and on the trails. After about 3 hours (kids were tired) we made our way back for lunch. The girls and I then went exploring while mike biked off to the Spitfire Museum 17 miles away. We found a beautiful park and window shopped at a bunch of stores. 
I'd love to bring back some pottery but back packing and pottery don't mix well. Mike just got back so I'll put in a few of his pics too. He said the museum was a little anticlimactic.
That's all for now. Jane
