England 2008: Norwich

Posted on September 11, 2008February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

Just before Margaret’s graduation, we had a quick trip to England … pictures follow!

Here are a few from Norwich, where Margarets parents live – starting with their back garden, and then into the city centre and market; also a few flint walls:

Just back from our trip to England (pictures to follow), Margaret officially graduated her second Masters degree, in Social Work, at Salem State College – with honours! Congratulations 🙂

Queen Of The Night

Our neighbours Joanne & Earle called us over this evening, to see their son Jason’s plant bloom! The plant is called “Queen Of The Night” or more officially, Epiphyllum Oxypetalum! It was a gift to Jason from a friend, and originally comes from South America … it didn’t flower for the first few years (just grew big), but this year has 10 or more blooms! As we chatted with Joanne & Earle, the flower slowly opened more and more, giving off a stronger sweet smell too:

I also took some pictures of Joanne’s frog! When we moved to USA 12 years ago, she had this frog and had had it for a long time already – she promises that it’s the same frog still, so it must be 20 or more years old, living in it’s little aquarium, and occasionally “singing”!
