Today the students arrived. I felt bad for the UE students - they arrived into Heathrow at 1040 and did not make it to the manor until after 1800. They were in stop and go traffic on the coach and then there is a rule that a coach driver has to stop driving after 4 hours for 45 minutes. So just as they were approaching Grantham, they had to stop for 45 minutes. They looked really tired but they are here and look good considering all they have been through :)
The sun came out, so after dinner Isaac and I went outside for a walk. Here is a picture of Isaac near one of the lions in the front of the manor. The picture below is of the Roman Gardens - they are still beautiful even though the flowers are not in full bloom.
Here is what we see when we walk up the drive...
Today Isaac announced that he could live here forever, or for at least a year. He plans on coming back to study when he is in college. Bringing him was incredibly expensive but well worth the effort. We are having a great time and he is fitting in so well. We are blessed to have met so many nice families. I highly recommend visiting here if you ever get the chance - it is a magical place where learning happens all the time.
Is Isaac attending school in Grantham? Oh and this is Susan Sauls NOT Dan
ReplyDeleteIsaac looks so happy. Almost as happy as my child who just started college. I think it has something to do with "learning"....
ReplyDeleteHi Susan - Isaac is attending King's School while we are here - He will be at the same school Isaac Newton attended - according to one of my students, Isaac Newton invented gravity. I guess before his time, people floated around :) I'll post pictures of his school when he starts in about a week.
ReplyDeleteIf Isaac's in a mixed setting, I'm sure his 'mates will be as curious about him as a "genuine American" as he will be about their idiosyncrasies.
