| Started our day in bath . . . forgot my towel. |
 |
| After touring bath I had just enough time for tea . . . I love tea time here. |
 |
| From bath we stopped at Sailsbury for a quick tour of the Cathedrial there and lunch there as well. |
 |
| Filled in a big item on my bucket list today with our stop at Stonehenge. |
 |
| Linda and I had to document our stop here. We're now at our London hotel getting ready for breakfast and a flight back in the morning! We are all ready for our own beds at home. |

| In Grasmere at the cemetery were William Wordsworth in burried. Sharon was enjoying this section of the tour being the retired English teacher. |
 |
| Obviously his grave site. |
 |
| We had lunch just across a small stream from the grave site |
 |
| Later we drove by the smallest house in Britain, more like two closets stacked on top of one another. |
 |
After a boat crusie across a lake at Windermere in the Lake district we took a ride on a steam engine train. |
 |
| Mary Ann and Sharon enjoying the train ride. |
 |
| Unique flowers along the rails. |
 |
| This morning, Thursday, we first stopped at an acient battle field, Culloden, where the Scotts led by bonnie Prince Charles lost to the British back in the 18th century. |
 |
| I tried to enlist but was deemed to be too long in the tooth to serve, shucks. |
 |
| We then went monster hunting at Loch Ness. |
 |
| Jon, said that as he took this picture, Nessis was just behind us. |
 |
| Jon and Sharon also at Loch Ness. |
 |
| We finally got this rare shot of Nessie as we passed by. |
 |
| Here are Linda and I at a high mountain pass in the Scottish highlands. |
 |
| Mary Ann also braved the gale force winds and rain in the highlands. |
 |
| At days end we had dinner at the hotel in Glasgow |
 |
| We started Wednesday (yesterday) near the North Sea, a cold and forboding place. |
 |
| We had to see and play at Old St. Andrews golf course since we were in the area. |
 |
| In the afternoon we stopped at a working sheep farm and saw some sheep dogs in action and I had to shear some sheep with assistance as you can see. |
 |
| We all then fed some lambs. |
 |
| Tbe sheep farm was beautiful - Scotland lowlands. |
 |
| You can see the dogs working here. |
 |
| Just average scene in Scotland. |
