A Year in England

The Globe with the Bakers


More friends we couldn't have survived without are Janet and Graham. They have been great to us this year, the closest thing we have to family here in England. Ironically we know them because of our good friends from NJ who did an exchange in England many years ago. Janet and Erik worked together and their families have been friends since. We now count Janet and Graham among our friends and are thankful for all their friendship, help and kindness this year. Most recently, we went to the Globe with them and their daughter, Amy. We saw Anthony and Cleopatra and viewed it as "groundlings." This is an old reference from the early days of the theatre when the cheapest tickets were standing in front of the stage... and as they stood with their mouths gaping opened hey looked like fish- groundlings.
