No, this isn’t a British law firm, it’s a description of our day today. I had the experience of eating a crumpet for break
fast, like the old expression “Tea & Crumpets”. It was basically an english muffin. Probably someone figured they would sell better in the US if it was called an english muffin rather than a crumpet. I had my crumpet with butter and jam. It was a little bit spongier than an english muffin. Here’s a pic.The first stop today was Saltaire Village. It was an entire town built by a man named Titus Salt. I don’t have time to get into the whole story but he was probably one of the richest men in the world in the middle 1800’s. Quite an interesting story. We were given a tour by a wonderful lady who did the tour in character of a person who would have lived in the town at that time. Each of us was given a card with a name and a description of a person who lived in the town at the time and where they lived. My name was Sylvester Toothill. Everyone said it fit me well. Can’t figure out why.
After a lu
nch of fish and chips it was off to see the village where Smith Wigglesworth was born and then on to the place he is buried. Here is a picture of his and his family’s grave. If you have never read about Smith Wigglesworth I would encourage you to pick up some books about his life. He walked in an incredible degree of faith, so much so that he was called the Apostle of Faith. Tonight it’s off with the team to eat the most popular food in England, curry. Maybe I’ll take some pics of the different dishes and post them tomorrow. It seems like today was a tour of English food. Well, someone has to do it!

I definitely say that you change your name to ‘Sylvester Toothill’!!! It took 5 minutes for me to stop laughing enough to write that!TOOTHILL!!!!TOOT-HILL!!!That’s great…Man I wish I could’ve seen the sights of Wigglesworth, that would’ve been cool. Maybe Trent could snatch me a piece of ‘memorabilia’ and outrun those guys with the big fuzzy hats!!Good times… Enjoy your curry and lukewarm eggs.
