My First Day in the UK!

So here is a short snippet of what went on that first day in England! Dan, Val, Audrey and I arrived to our quaint little holiday let called Primrose Cottage after an exhausting day of 4.5 hours driving (thank you greg), 10 hours of flying, and one more hour and 45 minutes of driving! To say the least were ready to be fed, bathed, and put into bed ASAP. We did take the time to walk down to the local pub, The Red Lion Inn, for what we thought was going to be a quick bite to eat (which ended up taking over an hour...but the food was delicious!)
After nearly 13 hrs of sleep we ventured out to Morrison's, the grocery store in Canterbury (our cottage is in the village of Bridge 3miles outside of Cant.). We walked around our street and took some more videos which I will have to figure out how to best post. This afternoon we visited the greenhouse where I will be doing the most work with Dan while we are here. Audrey has been great so far! So fun actually to have around :) On our way back from the nursery we went south toward Dover and saw the Dover Castle lit up (yes it's dark here at 4:30pm) and the port at dover where all the big carrier ships come in and ferries take you over to the coast of France! I guess on a clear day you can see across the English channel to France. We saw some lights that Dan said could be the French coast! We are going back in the daytime next week when Dan's other grandparents come to visit. Besides all that we are just getting things together here at Primrose cottage :) Today went really fast but I have a feeling the days will soon start to feel much longer. Please pray that I trust in God's plan and that I would use every minute of my time here to glorify Him!
