Happy Thanksgiving to everyone back in the States. We celebrated Thanksgiving here in London last Sunday because we need to be out of our flats by Friday and Saturday so the latter part of this week we need to be packing and cleaning. We celebrated at my flat. Everyone made a dish and we ate well. The 13 students, Katie's mom who arrived that day, and myself took part. Jonathan Kennedy and Tony James and their wives Alise and Anne were unable to attend this year. Sarah made all the decorations. Enjoy the photos.

If you remember the Canterbury blog, you will remember this picture of the place where it was decided to send the Mayflower over to the American Colonies...another British connection to Thanksgiving!
