"Britain and America...two great nations divided by a common language."

– Winston Churchill / Oscar Wilde / George Bernard Shaw
(As it happens, the saying has been credited to all three of them)

Today we had the privilege of doing some sightseeing, and we admired so much the traditional English buildings left for us to enjoy from generations gone by.









And just look at the amazing architecture our generation is leaving for the world to enjoy:

I'm quite sure people hundreds of years from now will be walking the streets and admiring the amazing detail found on 60's style buildings such as these . . . or something. I've been told Prince Charles is an advocate of having new buildings built in the old English style. I can see why. A building like this sticks out like a sore thumb in England.

More to come of our adventures—Warwick Castle and Stratford Upon Avon—but another day. We have been very blessed!
