Finally internet

Hi all, this has been quite the intersting last few weeks, never mind the accent I have to put up with. The people of Derby are the friendly kind, very welcoming. Heathrow is a very busy airport and certainly quite hard just to get out of it. We rented two cars at the airport, one us us is staying one year and the other 2, myself and another one for 6 months. We needed the 2 cars so we could make are way towards Derby. Well, let me tell you about those runabouts, locals have gps and they live here, luckaly one of the Canadian with me purchassed one but that did not stop us from going around a runabout 4 times. We got an hotel the first night, as they keys for the house were not available till Monday, wow, small rooms let me tell you, thank god we each had a room. Next day we proceded to the dealership to pick up ours cars, then pick up they keys for the "posh" houses we rented, locals calls them posh because they are fairly new. The cost I was told for the house that we rented is 250.000 pounds to by, that is almost 600.000 Canadians, unbeleiveable. There is no closet, none, were do the locals hang their coats, let alone mop bucket and a vacuum. Here a few pictures for now, I have a lot already but will keep posting new ones everyday from now on since I finally got the internet.
