a proper weekend

hayley and i had a proper weekend. as i mentioned in my last post, it started out on friday night with proper beer and proper football. i am happy to report that england won the match against montenegro 4-1. God save the queen! side note: the american song "my country tis of thee" is to the same tune as "God save the queen" so we didn't get rid of everything british apparently. and what the heck does my country tis of thee mean anyway?

proper beer - i only tasted them. i don't like beer. 

on saturday we had a proper jaunt to london with our proper londoner friends, trevor and clare. hayley and i went into town early to see a few more things and they met us later. we walked the london bridge, saw shakespeare's globe theater and the tate modern art gallery. when we met up with t & c we walked along the south bank of the thames river. they also took us to covent garden - such a fun area of london!!! and we went for proper burgers at byron's hamburgers. the waiter told me "well done!" when i said something with a british accent. i'm just going to receive that as a gift! :)

proper british wedding!!! we came around a corner and there they were! check out the hats! :)

proper burgers! instead of fries we got "skin on chips" so much cooler!

on sunday we went to church with t & c. they go to church at a church of england church - so proper church! :) it was a wonderful service - talked about psalm 42 and what do we do with the longings of our hearts. after they took us on a drive out to the countryside. so beautiful. we stopped at a proper pub and had a sunday afternoon pub lunch. roasted meat, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, yorkshire puddings. yum!!! there were even sheep in the field across the street! :)

proper pub entrance - notice the sheep on the hill in the background
