Pickwick Hall's kitchen |
This summer, I had the privilege of spending a month
in England with a group of 15 students from Oklahoma Baptist University. Dr. Lindsey Panxhi (an English faculty
colleague) and myself, along with our respective spouses, conducted a
faculty-led Study Abroad that spent four weeks on the ground in London teaching
OBU courses to OBU students while being immersed in the culture and history of
Great Britain. These are our stories!

Woke up – nice breakfast, courtesy of Pickwick. Patrick, the owner, and his wife Clara, are
quite pleasant and enjoyable to chat with.
He is the picture of British propriety and politeness. Probably mid-50s to early-60s. Helpful in answering curious questions about
London and England. The breakfasts here
are consistent: toast (3 types of bread) with butter and/or marmalade, cereal
(four kinds, including oatmeal), milk, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. We are buying peanut butter for the team as
well, to supplement the breakfast options with more protein.
