Jan 15: Sue and I went to Norwich Cathedral, where we had a great guide tell us all the history that lurks inside its walls. She and I went to her puppet making class that evening.
Jan 16: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I went to Norwich Castle in the morning, had a lovely lunch and in the evening went to a traditional English Pub with all of the family, Sue, John, Mike, Mairi, Guy, Rosemary, Tim, David and Jane. Exceptional food and very kind and generous family. I am very lucky, indeed.

Jan 18: Spent the day at Tim and Rosemary’s. Had a lovely lunch and met their neice, and my fellow cousin, Sally. Had fish and chips with Mairi, Mike, Guy, Sue and John that night.
Jan 19: Went to see Chocky, Mairi’s horse in the morning. Mike and Mairi took me to the bus where I once again made it back to Sevilla. I met my friend Rachel, randomly, in the airport and we were on the same flight.

Annie had planned a lovely birthday festivity (since she, her roommate and I have very close birthdays) so I headed out. It was a late night and I spent most of yesterday asleep.
