Safely in England!!

We had a blissfully uneventful flight without even that much turbulence, I'm glad to say. Now I'm in the town of Ely, up in the northern part of England, and am having a blissful cup of instant coffee and chatting with one of my two roommates. So… not much yet to report, but I did want to let you all know that I'm here, doing well (even slept some!), and will hopefully post some pictures soon.

(((hugs))) to you all!!

Have a wonderful visit and I hope all the concerts go well. I wish I could make it out to Ely (so close to Cambridge!), but tomorrow was already booked up.

Awwwww! I wish you could come hear us! But I'll be spending my last two days in Cambridge, so perhaps we could meet up for tea or something! :)

Let me know the dates!

The nights of the 6th and 7th— not sure which bus I'll take from Birmingham down to Cambridge, but I'll be coming down on the 5th and will have all day of the 6th for sure.

I'm free the morning of the 6th, and around lunchtime, tho' have an appointment in the afternoon. It would be lovely to see you!

Great to hear that things are going well. Have lots of fun in England and good luck for the concerts.

When you're in Durham, you should try to sneak into the castle - coolest university accommodation ever! (they do tours as well, I believe)

I'm trying to remember how to best get to that hill on the other side of the river where one has a great view over the town, but my sense of direction sucks.

Anyhow, enjoy your time in England!

I'll definitely see if I can sneak into the castle— sounds like a plan! Thank you so much for the suggestion and I'm really looking forward to it. Ely is little and the cathedral is pretty cool; had a very informative tour today and now my feet need some rest! ;) Thanks for the well wishes!!

I'm certainly planning on it! Our first concert is today; mostly I hope that goes well and that the choir feels confident afterwards. :)

Yes, and thanks to you for reading my rambly night-before email! ♥ I'll be taking a tour of Ely Cathedral today after our concert, so will probably post some pics in a day or two.

Thank you very much! Our first concert is today and mostly I hope our singing goes well and people feel confident. The weather is certainly preferably to what I left behind!! ;)

Awesome! *HUGS*

(((hugs back))) It's a strange experience being with a group. I'm hearing American English all the time! :P But I'll spend some solo time wandering around today which I just need after spending so much time with other people.

Yay! I'm glad you made it safely! Don't forget to watch the football. :P
