Recent Shenanigans

I have now been in Manchester for over two months. Last week, the 11 of us YAGM's reunited for the first time since we've been in the U.K. We went on a retreat to Cliff College, which is in Calver, Darbyshire. We were there Tuesday through Thursday, and on Tuesday afternoon we hiked up to the cliffs and took some wonderful group photos. On Wednesday afternoon, we went to Chatsworth House, which was used in the movie "Pride and Prejudice", or so I've been told. I haven't seen the movie. On Thursday we went home, or elsewhere, and in between all of that, we talked and talked and talked and talked, and slept a little bit. This past Tuesday, October 31st, I had the chance of a lifetime to see Celtic Woman in concert at Bridgewater Hall here in Manchester, and it was an AMAZING concert :) I also figured out how to get into the cellar, and it was not as exciting as I had hoped, it did not lead me to Narnia, or anywhere magical, actually, but I do know, now, where to go if I need to find a ladder. Also, on October 19th, I got to meet Michael Rosen, who is a children's book author, he is the author of "We're Going on a Bear Hunt", which I read when I was in elementary school many many years ago, or as my friend Allison would say, 900 years ago, and he's written a bunch of other books as well. That is all for now, but enjoy some pictures of my recent shenanigans.

 Danielle and Sarah B. and I like to live on the edge.

 We like group photos :) 

 I mean, we really like group photos :) 

 I found a smaller version of Pride Rock.

 Sarah B. and I found Mr. Tumnus :) 

 I found the Stairway to Heaven, I really need to tell Led Zeppelin :) 

 Turned out to just be an ordinary archway, but I just feel like there has to be way to Narnia somewhere over here....

 An album cover photo, obviously. This is the most serious that we have ever been, and we are missing some people from this photo.

 I didn't find Narnia, but I did find Aslan....

 And Aslan is apparently friends with Mufasa :) 

Annie and Matt and I put on a puppet show in the gift shop, Matt was the pig, Annie was the cow, and I was the chicken.

 It's important to take time to notice the sunset :)
