Shopping - its what Americas best for!

So tired this morning - could hardly stand up without pain and feeling tired and dizzy. Yesterday was a wonderful day - Andie and Phil invited their friends over for us to meet. We did a traditional roast beef and yorkshire pudding meal - Americans don't know what Yorkshire puddings are!!! followed by summer pudding and crumble. All delicious. Lovely to meet all of Andies new friends who I know will know be mine and Gordons. Have swapped Facebook addresses so will keep in touch. I wasnt very well for most of the day with an upset tummy. I hadnt slept well the previous night and battled against diarrohea all day plus throwing up. But managed to keep a happy face on for all. Was shattered by the time I got to bed though
Spent most of this morning resting and then Andie and I went shopping. I got some beautiful things t shirts, blouses and a wonderful green party dress. ALso got Christopher a school bag and some clothes. Had to buy a new suitcase- am starting to worry about fitting it all in! Am totally exhausted this evening so going to bed early. I can't believe we have only a week left -its going to be a busy one!!

Sounds like an amazing trip for you all. Enjoy every minute of it :)

The Americans call Yorkshire puddings 'popovers' which are basically the same but bigger (like most things in America)and they have them as starters or with food like we have bread (well they do in New Hampshire!)
I am very envious of you and your trip, we always promised to go to the lakes and parks while we were living there but in the end we left before we had planned to.
