Day 42: Stroud, England

We spent time this morning trying to think of something special to do with the  boys for our last day in England. Since we have to leave tomorrow around 5:30 am for a 3-hour drive to the airport,  we decided to do something close to the house. 
We caught the bus up to Beacon Hill where the boys had flown the Mavic a few days ago. This time we looked for some rocks that  are well known to be good for climbing. We found the rocks and had them to ourselves for the next couple of hours. We left exhausted and sore, but really pleased with the awesome and free climbing experience. The kids were amazing as usual. 
On the way home I took pictures of the names of the houses on my cousin’s street. I knew historically English houses had names, but I didn’t realize how prevalent the practice was and that people still did it. 
We took the bus back to the house and rested for a while. We also packed our bags. Then, we helped my cousin make Tex Mex for dinner. It was so delicious. We went to bed relatively early.

  1. I love that the British name their homes. I always wished more people named their houses in the U.S. I actually have a name picked out for my future residence 😉

    1. We picked out a name for our house a few months ago. I am going to use these pictures for ideas for where to place the name :)

    1. We noticed it by reading older English literature, especially mysteries. There are titles like "Murder at 100 Pines" and stuff like that :) I hadn't realized it carried over into contemporary times, lol.
