Day 15

We stopped by the Kilns today on an optional field trip. We almost missed our bus because we were at the wrong stop but with a little bit of full out running most of us made it on the bus. We did lose about 5 people on the way but they caught up with us towards the start of the tour. Some adventurous people walked the three miles there... I was not one of the adventurous ones!

After we got back a group of us got some food at the Eagle and Child Pub to finish off our C.S. Lewis day. I had the Wild Boar Burger and it was absolutely delicious!! What a way to end yet another fabulous day here in the UK!

C.S. Lewis's House!

What a cute bench :)

The Common room

Aslan anyone?



Dr. Kirkpatrick is a gracious tour guide!

This is the music room where C.S. Lewis died November 22, 1963


This is the spot where he died...


Dinning Room







There are books everywhere!







Can you guess what this is? A punting boat!


Bomb shelter is now a bat shelter... Either way I do not want to go in there!


The pond where C.S. Lewis used to swim in...well nothing...






Audrey is so cute!

Yea we had to cross this major highway and not get hit...

It wasn't easy...

But we all made it!


The church the C.S. Lewis attended


And his grave.

His brother is also buried with him... They are very close, literally.
