Easter Vacation

Hey everyone,
Its sad that the Easter vacation is almost done :-(
Luckily I spent blissful days at the park, exploring and hanging out with friends. Check out some of the pics below.

YORK: I loved this old town. We went on a sunny day and explored the place. It had many people looking around but the town had this intimate feeling. I left York feeling like I had been in a simpler time with beautiful architecture and small streets.

Cobbled Streets. How quaint!


Tea and Scones at Betty's :-)


HYDE PARK:
Spending endlessly sunny days in the park. This is the life :-)

CHESTER: I was taken to Chester by two wonderful Rotarians, Patricia and Peter. They lived in Chester and were able to take me to all the best places in the town. If only I had the space and time to upload all the wonderful pics. I completely enjoyed my day with them. We even had a picnic by the river- a first for me.

Yep, its been a good Easter. This evening I am off to present at the Rotary Club of Wakefield. Wish me luck!

Springtime

Hey Everyone,
I have written since after Valentine's Day. I am so sorry for not keeping my promise of updating you on my adventures on a fortnightly basis. I wont make any promises this time but will update as often as possible.

Leeds has been great! The trees are no longer naked as they were in winter and the flowers have been coming into full bloom. Its truly wonderful! March was quite hectic for me as I had essays and group assignments to complete. I have also been doing research for my dissertation and all that exciting stuff. Additionally, I have been able to do presentations at Rotary functions so its been a mix of work and pleasure.

Below are some pics :

Lots of Love,
