Kinsingers Visit

Do you see a few extra faces in this picture?  Yes, the Kinsingers arrived for their visit!  Their first night in and we thought it fitting to have dinner at the Cuckoo.  One of our favorite laid back pubs in the area.  We were thankful to have them safely here.  We went out to eat almost every night, visited Stamford, Peterborough, Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle, Warwick Castle and Shakespeare's birthplace.  We tried to find Nottingham Castle, but after getting lost, adding 3 hours on to our drive, no dinner.......need I go on.  No.  Not a memory I really need to revisit, but as the men would say, " It was an adventure".   They spent two days in London and then we went on to Paris.  Of course, we did everything we could fit in, and came home exhausted.  Finished the week out up in Stamford at the Pizza Express.  For those of you who haven't eaten there, GO.  It is real italian food prepared the italian way.  Great service and food!
