Well, here I am sitting on bench in the sunshine at Jesus College
waiting for a lecture to start entitled “Britain- Should I Stay or Should I Go?” about the vote in June on if the UK should leave EU or not, the vote is very close! My sense of the vote is, unless the stay side can be very factual and specific on why they should stay, they could be in trouble!
I spent week in York, busy with programs and traveling to a lovely seaside town called Whitby,
when you travel outside of Cambridge the prices really go down, sometimes in half!
People here have been very friendly and helpful, I get invited out for coffee and to events etc. The energy in Cambridge is very high and I am attending Plays, Lectures,
and Conferences (about International Relations) all which are open to public for 5 or 10 pounds, I just love the involvement, the University has a great website for what they call Public Engagement.
My friends Elizabeth and Richard have a beautiful home close to Cambridge (pictures below),
where I spent a lovely weekend, I attended the local church with my host, 
and the Vicar said a special prayer for the fires in Alberta.
I have always said I would never go to Africa again, well NEVER say NEVER! I have been invited to Goma in the Congo in September, the VISA process is brutal, but I will stay with friends, so it should be safe and I am told that part of Africa is very beautiful!
I paid a visit to my National Health Insurance Doctor, who for 10 minutes told me what was wrong with NHS, at the end I said, “I would never hired him to do PR”, and he laughed!
Justin Trudeau was all over the media, with the pushing incident, but they also put his apology on the front page.
I just realized have been here for month and haven’t even travelled to London yet (it’s 50 minutes away by train).

So glad that you are enjoying your time in England. I hope you enjoyed Whitby, which I have loved over the years, but have not been there for some time now. All is well here, except that Bruce fell in the church going downstairs and has fractured his kneecap, so can’t walk far, can’t drive, and is in quite a lot of pain and discomfort. It will be at least another two weeks before he can remove a leg brace he has to wear all the time. I am trying to look after him and hope that he can soon look after himself, as I am not ready to do everything for him! He is still doing his Compass Rose Board work, but not much more than that! We have been very fortunate up to this point with quite good health, so I really cannot complain. Hope all is well with you, love as always Prue

Hi Betty Thanks for the note and lovely pictures. So glad all is going well and that you are enjoying y,our time in England! All well here, except that Bruce fell down concrete stairs at Church a few days ago and has fractured his kneecap. We are going to the Fracture Clinic tomorrow to get reports on the damage and what has to be done to fix it! Love as always Prue

Hi Betty, love all the pictures – by the by, if you need a photographer, give me a dingle 🙂 So there you be for a while and it sounds like you have so many of your needs being met there or close by. Who could ask for more? You are the ‘cat’s meow’ indeed and well deserved. Over here we open-ed a center in Surrey which is quite lovely and we have to find another place for Vancouver very soon so Claudia is putting out feelers for that. We had Atam here and it was fantastic and so much fun – still editing all the photos from last Tuesday. All is well and the same to you – be well, stay well, think well. For now, moi
