After a long plane ride and sleepless night we finally arrived in England. Despite being exhausted we managed to stay awake the two hour ride to Great Gransden (about 45 minutes outside of Cambridge) and even into the night. Our host, Kathy, has been more than kind. So far she has taken us to see Anglesey Abbey and the oldest manor in England. I think it was dated back to sometime in the 1100's. Anglesey Abbey is a huge mansion with 80 acres of gardens and an incredible collection of art. Unfortunately no pictures were allowed in either of the houses but I do have pictures of the gardens which I'll upload (the pictures above are of the buildings but I'll be posting more on facebook and sending the link - top= Anglesey Abbey, bottom= old manor). The towns here are so different than in the States. It almost feels like stepping back in time.
