No, I’m Not Dead
Forgive my lack of proper blogs last week. Tuesday was all-day time travel for Erin and myself. Thursday was me addressing the mounds of files on my desk and getting back into Legal Assistant mode. I haven’t had much time to process the whole thing, but my trip was beyond amazing. Here’s a look at our last days in the mother-land.
Friday: Let Me Fall book signing in Southport
It was lovely to meet Cuan from Southport Christian Book Centre & Café Delight in the flesh. He was a wonderful host; stuffing us with proper tea and cake. Erin and I had the pleasure of meeting a slew of cool young women too.
Then we got our inner T-Rex on and had dinner at The Carvery with a hilarious trio: George, Gwenan, and Daniel. Good meat. Good banter. Good times.
Saturday: Liverpool with Ian & Carol
Ian & Carol were more than your average tour guides. We learned cool history, drank in the sights, and laughed our heads off.
The bottom picture was created out of … wait for it … jelly beans. Yes!
Erin, Ian, Smiling Head, & Carol at The Cavern, where the Beatles got their start.
In front of the Liverpool Library.
Sunday: Caernarfon Castle, Wales, with Clive & Helen
Our British parents took us to see something we’ve only dreamed about. A real-life castle. I don’t have words for how awesome that day was. Simply take note of my ridiculously excited, goofy grin. Oh wait, that’s my normal smile …
Monday: Formby beach & dinner at Paul & Amy’s
On our last night, our new friends showed us their version of the ocean. Hot & sticky—no. Beautiful—yes. And then they fed us (Clive and Helen included) Cuban food and quizzed us on our knowledge of Scouse phrases. We, of course, had a great time and stayed way too late just talking.
Paul, Amy, Erin, & a girl who was either really cold or had to pee.
Tuesday: Goodbye
I meant it when I said my favorite thing about the entire trip was the people I had the privilege of meeting. A nugget of my heart was ripped off and is being held hostage in the mother-land. I fear I shall never get it back.
Bag lady, Helen, & Clive
That about wraps it up. Thank you Vikki. Not just for inviting us to speak at Revolution, but for giving us the opportunity to meet you and a number of other lovely people. And thank you, dear reader, for letting me share all this British goodness with you!
Cheerio. 
So glad you had an awesome trip!!!
Thanks Kayla!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. And might I say.. your hair looks fabulous. My gosh. When I travel, my hair is usually like “aah! strange water! different temperature, different level of humidity! Freak out!” lol.
Hahahahahaha! I think you and your hair always look lovely no matter the location.
And thank you!
