We are now down to FIVE days left in the UK. We've had more adventures in July which I haven't catalogued - Isle of Wight, Rye, Derby (again!!) for the Peak District, York - and here, a family portrait taken by ace photographer Peter Whyte on the bowling green lawn next to Lewes Castle which you can see betwen Robin and Eleanor's heads. We have posted much about our adventures here and not so much about our adopted town of Lewes, but let us say a grand THANK YOU to Lewes for being friendly, walkable, historic, intriguing, and comforting to our family. Western Road Community Primary School was an excellent choice for all of us and the Southdown Tennis Club has been another welcoming home for the whole family. The Elephant and Castle Pub has been a great 'local' for us, especially Glen who has spent many a long Thursday evening playing Texas Hold'em there, bowling skittles for them, and playing stoolball (Eleanor did too). If you need us to explain those last two to you, it's because you are not from East Sussex. And of course, none of this would be possible without the University of Sussex and the US-UK Fulbright Commission. The staff at both institutions have been absolutely incredible. Thanks all for a great year -- and watch out Philly, here we come.
