The Guy made carbonara for The Girl on her last day in the country before flying home. It was delicious, but still a sad night.

Little Turtle is pretty much ready to leave the hot, humid greenhouse, but The Girl is too entranced by these enormous staghorn ferns!
The Girl cannot resist a greenhouse, even when the temperatures outside are already sweltering and the humidity inside becomes unbearable. This particular greenhouse was at Down House, which belonged to Charles Darwin.
The Girl joined The Guy and some of his family at Down House, where Charles Darwin lived and wrote On The Origin of Species. They don’t allow photography inside the house, understandably.
The Guy and The Girl went to a nursery to get a plant and some nicer pots for the flat, plus tasty lunch! The Girl is so busy swooning over The Guy, maybe she won’t notice if Little Turtle steals a few morsels…
This very friendly kitty was waiting for his human to come home from school. His name is Alfie, he is deaf, and his family tolerated The Girl petting him for about ten minutes before coming out to fetch him. (The Guy was supremely patient with her.)
Since they went home on her birthday and she was going to spend most of the day sitting in the car, The Girl decided she deserved chocolate cake for lunch at the Brewery Tea Rooms.
The Guy and The Girl had some time to kill before their reservation at Brewery Tea Rooms (yes, two days in a row), so they returned to that photogenic wide-open field to take more photos since the weather was so nice. The Guy and The Girl spent about an hour here with their cameras (but Little Turtle wasn’t left on this bridge the whole time)!
The Guy and The Girl stopped at this scenic river in Hitchin, England after dinner.
If Little Turtle goes sneaking in from the side, The Girl won’t see him take some pasta… right? For dessert there was a Belgian chocolate cake and a crème brûlée with a mysterious flavor that made it so much lighter. The waiter at DeRoKa said the flavor was a secret and nobody could tell what it was, but The Girl immediately guessed it correctly! (And then she was insufferably pleased with herself.)
