Friday night we saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in London's West End at the Adelphi Theatre. It was a fun show to see, and we were particularly impressed with the amazing dancing! (Interesting tangent--the actor who plays Joseph in the production won a BBC reality TV competition to play this part. He has a great voice.)
Before the show, we ate dinner at this (also very colourful) Brazilian buffet. The food was ok; Jacob says it didn't showcase the potential of Brazilian cuisine (which Jacob thinks is some of the best cuisine in the world).

Saturday morning we went to Audley End House and Gardens for Apple Weekend. The house's extensive kitchen gardens were once used to feed the residents of the mansion, and they still grow plentiful fruits and vegetables. The stars of the weekend were, of course, the apples, which grow in dozens of varieties and in many sizes (see Jacob going in for a bite of a huge apple below). We tasted the local apple varieties and sampled some wonderful apple juice. We also tried a chicken and apple salad that was delicious!
The following photo is dedicated to my Mom (who loves pears); we really liked the way the pear trees have been grown against the wall like this. And the pears themselves look beautiful!
In addition to the fact that apples are in season, here's another indication of autumn: gorgeous leaves in our garden. Happy autumn!

Are my pears in the mail? I do love the way the trees are growing. Everything looks so beautiful and delicious.
What a fun weekend! I love the leaves changing colors. I am hoping that my kids will get to see a little bit of fall when we are in Maryland. We just don't get that season here in Arizona.
London looks like it has a lot to offer. I am turning in my passport papers today in hopes of an adventure of my own soon!! Love you, Jennie
