Hello England!
And so, I hit the shores of the green and pleasant land with a drowsy five-year old in tow, a bunged up ear, no service on my US phone and no US to UK adaptors for my plethora of communications devices. 😉
I can’t really blog much at the moment, because my jet lag is making my fingers all a bit wobbly and weird!
Anyhow, observations so far:
– People sound very, very English.
– The roads are small and windy!
– People drive on the other side of the road and it is very disconcerting – I am going to have to check myself every time I make a turn otherwise those British bobbies are going to be very busy.
– Everything looks very, very old (courtesy of Harry).
– It rained whilst I had a cup of tea.
– I am seeing things through new eyes – I have a new appreciation of the UK and its charms!
– I am intrigued by views and countryside and British iconography that I once took for granted and am now snapping away like a tourist (see pics below!)
– I will be feasting on a roast chicken dinner tonight – meat and three veg! And gravy of course!
A thatched cottage – delightful!
A British pub in Marlborough
Silbury Hill – no idea what it’s for!
Avebury Standing Stones (or “giants’ graves”)
A post office and an ice-cream van!
I don’t remember there being so many country pubs!
An English country lane
ROAST BEEF MONSTER MUNCH!!! Yeah!
British Farm shop
Bloody lush – sausage rolls. Pass the Gaviscon!
Get a free umbrella….
Brit fruit and veg!
I’m pooped – still on US time with three hours sleep! I’ll be falling asleep in my gravy at this rate….. 😉

So, so jealous of you right now!! I had to call the UK the other morning and I kept the poor girl on the other end of the line on forever just because I wanted to hear her talk in a “real” (not tv) English accent.
Have fun and tell us all about the trip! 🙂
How long are you here for, Yankee Doodle?
10 days!
Have fun, but hurry back, I miss you already!
Good stuff…Have an enjoyable trip ….I’m stuck here in Savage Maryland!
Ah Savage has its own charms Ray!!
I saw your pictures on your FB page without captions. But, I figured Harry’s crisps were probably roast beef or roast lamb flavoured. AND suitable for vegetarians, I’ll bet! (That always cracks me up.)
