My First Impression of England–PFG Spring Conference Part 1

Although I have gone through London airport several times, this was my first time visiting England.

After going through passport checking, we retrieved our luggage and walked out toward exit. I was able to find an ATM near exit.

Signs at the airport were very clear. After a short walk, I have arrived at the Central Bus Station. Bus fare to Oxford was 22 pounds.

The highway looks very similar to what we have in the US but everyone drives on the other side instead. There where wild flowers along the roads. The trees were blooming too.

The countryside is so beautiful with rolling yellow and green fields.

Oxford is just like I have imagined.

There were white flowering trees everywhere. I had to get closer to see what is it and if pressable. Oh, it is hawthorn and pressed beautifully.

I am so impressed with the name tags. Each one is handmade with real pressed flowers. What a fantastic job this was! I will save it for a long time.

As soon as I walked into the Holiday Inn, I saw PFG members sitting in the hallway doing check-in. Denise spotted me right away. It was so good to see her again! I also saw other old friends that I have met in WWPFG conferences. And then I get to meet my roommate. She showed me our room. After freshen up, I have looked at my roommate’s flowers. Wow! I got a sheet of flowers from her.
