Journal Entry: Nearly Home

[Texas time - 1:50pm]

 

Nearly home. They just served tea with scones and clotted cream and Tiptree jam! There were little sandwiches and a strawberry topped desert, but tea and scones! It’s not fair that clotted cream should be so rare in the States. [It's also not fair that I find out in a few years that I'm allergic to dairy.]

So I was almost through with my scone that I had lathered in clotted cream and Tiptree strawberry jam when the steward came by asking if I’d like another scone (they bring them in a basket) and I took it. He saw that I’d finished the cream and jam and offered to bring more. I love British Airways! That totally made up for not having “on demand” movies and music. Good thing I bought that book. It’s not a very good book, but it’s passable as literature. Sorta. In that there are words on the pages.

So I’ve lost something else. I’m at Taine’s. We had a wonderful day. Scones, clotted cream and tea. And strawberry jam. Yum. So I was showing her all the things I’ve bought, and the keychain I bought at Montségur is missing. Maybe it fell out of the bag or something. It was small. Maybe I can find one like to for sale online later. It was in the bag with the illuminated manuscript post cards I bought, and I still have those. I don’t remember putting it anywhere else. I don’t know.

So after Taine picked me up at the train station, her friend was with her, who’s name is also Tonya, we went back to the house. Her friend had to leave soon after and so then Taine and I decided to go to Harwich. We went to the store first though, and she bought some groceries. Harwich is where the Mayflower set sail for the New World. The captain’s house is still standing there.

Then we went back to her house and had tea. It’s nice having some privacy and some peace and quiet.

It’s quite late now and I have to get up early. Taine has invited me to go to church with her. It should be interesting. I’ve never been to an Anglican church before.
