The Magic of Friendship

One of our greatest joys in life is the relationships we have with family and friends. When we had the opportunity to meet up with two dear friends, Melissa and Alex, in England, we jumped at the chance.  Alex is from England, and to be able to see the area he grew up in through his eyes was simply amazing.  We had the best time with them!  As Eric says, we got to meet old friends in a new place.  What we didn't expect was to make new friends on this adventure.  Chris and Rebecca, Alex's friends, graciously invited us to stay in their home in London.  They are a lot of fun and we enjoyed relaxing in their beautiful garden.  Eric took the picture of the foxes while peering into their neighbor's backyard.  To put it nicely, the neighbor's yard is overgrown, and a family of foxes has moved in.  These are two of the cubs that are romping around that yard.  We want to give a great big thank you to Melissa and Alex for our incredible time in Quernmore, and to Chris and Rebecca for opening up their home to us and befriending us along the way.  We will hold onto memories of watching YouTube videos of fell racing and cheese chasing with fondness.  Looking forward to another time in the future when the six of us can hang out together again.. perhaps in New Zealand??? :)
