Trip to Senior's Conference

April 11, our Ferry ride to Poole was on the "fast ferry" which usually takes 3 hours.  Even though it had a turbine problem and took 4 hours, it was so much better than the old 7 hour ferry we had to take in January when coming to the island :)    This one wasn't drafty and cold; the seating was nicer, too.

              We loved our time in the temple; so grateful we could go.  It fills our hearts with peace,                                       deepens our love for the Savior,  and strengthens our souls.

Touring the Royal Windsor Castle

The changing of the Guard

At Oxford University.... One of the colleges, named New College - distinguished for drama and music.    Some scenes connected with a Harry Potter Triwizard Tournament were filmed here. 

The Dining Hall in Christchurch college, where they said Harry Potter's meal time was filmed.  There were lines of tourists walking through to see it.

The "head table" area. 

However, when I got back to my computer and checked the facts, I found out they got inspiration from looking at this dining hall, and designed a replica inside their movie studio for filming the Hogwart's Dining Hall scenes. 

Stonehenge, a mysterious ancient religious site, out in the middle of a large green field.

We arrived at Trowbridge for the Senior Missionary Couples conference.  We were spiritually uplifted, enjoyed the discussions, getting acquainted activities, and associating with the other couples.
