{adventures abroad} london: day four - wolves and leeds

on day four of our trip, A had a very fancy meeting in leeds. i had other plans: a little side trip to see H, one of my roommates from college, who lives in wolverhampton with her husband and two beautiful sons! it'd been years since i'd seen them and i simply couldn't stand the idea of traveling all that way and not visiting with them {even if it was only for a few hours}. i took a mid-morning train through some really lovely country and her husband picked me up at the station and took me to their home. i got to hold her brand new baby boy while we chatted and caught up. it was beyond wonderful to see them! they treated me to fish and chips with mashed peas {and plenty of ketchup} for lunch and chocolate eclairs and coffee for dessert. i had to leave way too soon to hop back on the train headed for leeds.

i made it to leeds just in time to freshen up and have a drink with A at the hotel bar. we were meeting our friend M {our friend's cousin whom we met in november when she came to the states} for dinner and drinks! we ate at the living room {so yummy and so pretty!} and went to a silly pub or two, but i was worn out {i would find out later that i had mono - awesome} so we went to bed a little earlier than expected.

{cheers!}
