Last weekend we visited a good friend of mine from the publishing world who has lived in England for many years now. She and her husband had lots of great "Living in England" information for us, and their adorable two-year old provided lots of comedic relief.

We hiked around the English Midlands that are populated with lots of rapeseed fields (the yellow flowering fields behind us) that are quite beautiful.

We also visited a nearby town called Fotheringhay, which is famous (perhaps infamous?) as the birthplace of Richard III and location of Mary Queen of Scots' beheading.
In the photo below Bill & I are standing at Fotheringhay's former castle grounds. Just in front and to the left of us would have been the great hall where the trial and beheading of Queen Mary took place.

We also visited Fotheringhay church, which is pictured in the background. Here's the cute 2-year old posing in the church's graveyard.
