We left the house around 10:00am and headed to the Northampton area and John took us to a historic area known as Althorp. We went to an old church that was there that had the burial site for George Washington’s Great-Great-Great Grandfather. It was such a beautiful area. We then went for lunch in a cute little pub near the Althrop estate. I ate fish cakes and chips. It was delicious! There we met up with John and Carol, who are good friends of John and Monica’s. We all had lunch together and then headed to the game. You can find out more about the Althrop estate by clicking here.
Here are some pictures of the pub, church, and Althrop Estate. We didn't get to actually tour the estate because it was closed but I found some pictures of it. The bottom picture is the burial site of where Princess Diana was buried. She is buried on a little island on the Althrop Estate.
Gloucester won the LV= Cup and it was a great win. Below you will find a collage of some of the pictures from the game. We had SOOOOO much fun! We also stayed after the game to get pictures with a lot of the players. When we left the game, we got to the car and had a cup of tea and some hot crossed buns in the parking lot! I thought this was the coolest thing! We didn’t return home until around 10:00pm after eating dinner at KFC (this was not nearly as good at the ones in America)!
Love from England,
