ENGLAND 2009
Once again I have made the trip to England in the Fall of 2009.
And once again we are visiting the Colchester region of England.
This was another ALL Florida group trip.
We again stayed in the converted barn.
And had access to all the same fields and were able to move about with our own van.
Several members had to cancel at the last moment, so we had a small group.
