A fantastic day of eating, drinking and conversating at Dympna and Peter LeRasle's house in Woodford. From left to right: Peter, Dympna, me, Maire Davies, John Davies, Huw Davies. Present (but not shown because I forgot to take a photo before they left) were Hannah Davies, Tom Davies (and his girlfriend), and Elinore Davies.
We were there for over 6 hours talking politics, religion, music, books, and everything else under the sun. Highlights:
- Getting the UK slant on Health Care. They are truly mystified on why the political right in the US is so violently opposed to it. They love their Health Care!!
- Talking religion, life, and death with Dympna and Maire
- Discussing the Northern Ireland situation with John and Maire
- Showing off the Family Tree to those who hadn't seen it yet.
Amazingly, Marilynn was able to work in a Library Story or two!! Marilynn was also introduced to Pimms, a fruity gin-based drink that is extremely popular in England during the summer months. Marilynn would end up ordering this drink at every bar we went to.
