I nominate you for the best blog posts! It looks like you are having a blast! By the way, you look gorgeous! There are so many neat pictures. Wow! That Blenheim Palace looks incredible...they just don't build 'em like that anymore. Our contemporary buildings are quite the contrast aren't they!?!!? Have fun and be safe!
