Lifestyles of the rich and the famous....

Another amazing day - this time on the outskirts of London (where a 2 minute drive will have you surrounded by the greenery of fields!). We set off relatively early - well - after a decent sleep in - kidding - you don't get to sleep on GSE ;)

Heading into Barnet we arrived at the Art Depot - a wonderful building which housed the Performing Arts, aspiring artists, dance groups of all ages (starting at 6 months and over 50's), sound and lighting courses and many others. We were given a personal tour by the manager of the Depot - who took us through each area with a detailed description. The girls found the going tough - especially when we entered the dressing rooms :) After enjoying the tour, we headed via bus to Jenny's house (Rotarian) who took us to the local for a bite to eat and something to wet our whistle....bangers and mash was the favoured choice of meal....with a nice bitter - or glass of wine to wash it down!

Moving along in the bright, warm London day - Ok ok ok...it was cold, raining fairly hard and an ordinary day - but we haven't seen rain like it in a while it was refreshing - ok ok - it was horrid...but the dull day quickly turned as the light shone brightly from above (over the Bentley car yard that we would soon visit - YES - LIVING IT UP IN LONDON!!!
The only questions that we had were "Can i take a photo?", "Can we sit inside and take a photo" and "how much?".. The answers to all of the above questions soon became apparent, "Yes, Yes and £150,000"...not bad....if you've got it!!!!

After leaving the life of luxury behind....(tears streaming from my face - actually rain dribbling down - or so i told them....) we headed for the local church - which was beautiful. The history that surrounded the place was amazing - as Knights from the War of the Roses had been there just before going into battle. The building was amazing, rich with detailed carvings and ancient stone walls - a sight to be seen in person!

Finally after a day of touring Barnet - we headed for the Rotary clubs of Barnet & East Barnet - where we gave another presentation - this time to an enthusiastic crowd. Another day has passed and we're still having an amazing time. Off to Vocational activities tomorrow -then a change of host - which will surely lead to another wonderful week!!!!
