What I Lost in England

October 21st, 2009

Lane Underneath Oxford Bridge of Sighs

-Two small umbrellas

-One earring I REALLY-REALLY-REALLY liked.

-Another earring I liked a lot. (Meaning I lost two pairs of earrings. However, I found an earring in the suitcase that I lost on a previous trip so I gained one pair back. But I didn’t have the mate with me so I actually bought two pairs of earrings in England. One pair was cheap and broke in two days. One pair was nicer and I’m still enjoying them.)

-An engraved silver compact with a regular mirror and a magnifying mirror, a gift from my husband.(However, I lost it once before and my husband replaced it, so I had the replacement at home.)

-A comb. (Lost in a tax with the compact).

What I gained: more than words can say!

Here’s a photo at the Bridge of Sighs on the campus of Oxford. We visited Oxford on a 12-hour trip. We hired a local driver who researched the trip and plotted it out. Luckily, Tim was a splendid guide and companion. We left Caterham,  Surrey,where we stayed with friends, at 8 in the morning and arrived back at 8 pm.
