Sunday, July 18
Sunday was an on campus sports day, and Richard Woods took some of the International Faculty to a Lodsworth to a pub for lunch while the British faculty intoduced English Sports to the students. Lodsworth is a smaill beautiful little village, and we saw the house of E.B. Shepard who illustrated Winnie the Pooh and Wind n' the Willow. We walked down to a wonderful church and looked through the old graveyard and went into the church to see a fantastic tapestry made by the women of the village that featured all the buildings in the village. The keeper of the pub told us that the tapestry was completed in 2006 and some of the women still did not speak to each other. They all wanted to be the one who "got the credit." Sad to think such a beautiful tapestry in the church could cause such a problem. Also, years ago children born out of wedlock were buried in a separate part of the church and their tombstone held no names, just "buried in disgrace" on the stone.
