Our trip to England began with a few days in the village of Cheveley with our friends, Josh, Alicia, and Olive Boisvert. Cheveley is exactly what I imagined an English village would look like.
We learned that in order to be a "proper village" you must have a school, a post office, and a pub. Cheveley's pub, Red Lion, is just around the corner from the Boisvert's home.
Cheveley is right next to Newmarket, the thoroughbred horse racing center of England. On Friday morning we watched hundreds of trainers running their horses just outside of town.
Our next stop was Bury St. Edmunds. We stepped out of the rain for a little Starbucks break (the kids were so funny pointing out all the Starbucks in England).
We wandered around the grounds of the abbey
Bury St. Edmunds is also home to the famous (and delicious) Greene King beer
