On the Bright Side of the Road






On Saturday, May 27, 2008 Alex received his MBA from Henley Management College. His parents and I proudly attended the ceremony on a gorgeous summer day on one of the most beautiful campuses I've seen right along the Thames.
Alex has been working on this for six years and we are all extremely proud and pleased.
The following day we began our journey home, back to Dover where we took the ferry back home. It was a long day and we were weary and emptying the car of our luggage and all the goodies we'd brought back (wine from France, some furniture from Wycombe, etc.) was a chore.
Home felt - well, like home. Two weeks to me is a long time to be away from home (for those of you who don't know, it is typical for Americans to take perhaps one or two one-week holidays per year, so two weeks seems very long). Hard to believe that we have another two-week holiday scheduled in just a few weeks.

Our garden had gone crazy while we were away, with a whole slew of plants and shrubs that we hadn't been aware were planted had grown and flowered, some more than a foot!
