April 29,2008. We are back from visiting our oldest daughter Emily, who is studying at Cambridge for her Masters Degree on a Gates Fellowship. (Thanks Bill). We took some great shots of the lovely Botanical garden there, and of me knitting a sock for Martha, who was home sick as a dog, and the only one not with us on the trip. Poor Martha. Here is a photo of me knitting the sock, as well as the sock communing with some lovely purple flowers, (not sure of the name). England is glorious at this time of year. We heard the singers in Kings College, at our at beautiful restaurants, and had many scones (which I am sure will show up on my scale...sigh). It's great to be back home, where my red bud, and my magnolia are blooming, and my daffodils are in full bloom as well. No matter how lovely places are, there is NO place like home.....

The photos are the Bridge of Sighs on the River Cam, me knitting, and the resulting sock ( a la Yarn Harlot, thanks Stephanie for the great idea), and the gardens there. No one gardens like the English. Love and blessings to all. Kathleen
