Lisa, Lucy, and Olivia are spending their Spring Break in the United Kingdom. After nearly 24 hours of planes, ubers (almost), and automobiles they managed to arrive in the quaint river town of Twickenham. And after 8 more hours (of overnight survival training at their Airbnb), they checked in to the “ever so civilized” Alexander Pope hotel.
Each day the trio headed off for a new adventure in and around London. Today they visited the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace and the home of Lisa’s friend, Nick Watkins, in the village of East Ilsley near Newbury, Berkshire.
The Watkin’s family home is also a structure of historical significance. It is a Grade II* Listed Building that dates back to the 16th century – roughly 200 years older than Blenheim Palace. It is officially known as Ilsley Hall. The photograph above is taken in front of the entrance to Nick’s home.
We are most appreciative of Nick’s skill as a photographer. He managed to capture all three of the elusive trio in a single shot – a feat rarely achieved during this excursion. Well done Nick!
