Hey All! After a busy and fun-filled week, Brenda's parents left for the US this morning. In one week we were able to squeeze in 3 performances at Glyndebourne, a day in Brighton, a trip to the Seven Sisters, and a whole bunch of laughs. Brenda had two performances this past week (6 down, 10 to go) and her parents were able to go to both of them. On one of her off nights Brenda was able to get us all tickets to the final dress rehearsal of Rusalka. Glyndebourne's production of Rusalka is beautiful - as is the opera itself - and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
I'm sad to say that Jim and Joanne didn't experience Lewes at its best; the weather was crummy for pretty much the whole week. Of course, compared to the heat the midwest has been seeing lately, rainy with temperatures in the 60s isn't so bad.
I have Jim to thank for the photos this week.

Once again our empty nest will not remain empty for long. On Sunday our friends Barb and Michael will be coming to stay with us for a couple of days. I guess we'll have to take them to our favorite coffee shops and pubs in Lewes, too. Darn. Such is the burden of a host.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll talk to you next week!
