We slept in sooooooo late the day after the wedding. Because someone lost the car keys and we didn't get home after the ceremony until 2:00AM, we were exhausted. My feet hurt from stupidly wearing heels to the wedding and my back aches from my camera bag. We all needed a relaxing day so we ventured to Little Moreton Hall to explore this ancient home and the quiet countryside surrounding it.

I don't have enough pictures from this day, only reason being that I put my camera down more often and enjoyed the comfort of being with Peter's Mom and Dad, Anne and Barry. We met them at a huge manor house in the area to tour the gardens and then eat a "picnic" in their newly purchased motor home. Just typing the words "motor home" sounds so lackluster, but let me sure you, it was by far one of my favorite moments of the whole trip. Surrounding the car were more wild deer than I have ever scene at one time in my life. Over cheese, scotch eggs, salad, and sandwiches we talked about pot smoking laws in Colorado, the wedding, and got to know each other a little better. That evening in Crank, Anne cooked a traditional curry meal. It was sweet; not the curry, but the day, the company, and the quiet subtleties that made it so.

On day four Richard showed us around his hometown, Shrewsbury, where I got a Nutella hot cocoa over lunch (thanks for the photo Peter!) After Shrewsbury we drove into the Wales border, wellies in tow, to explore the Llangollen canal. The night ended in Congleton, our final destination. On day five, we ran wedding related errands, toured the venue, and after picking up cold pork sandwhiches from a deli, toured the Biddulph Grange gardens. (Beautiful!!) What better way to end the night then fish and chips with mushy peas and beer!
