Colette and Brookie at Dover Beach, 1982 |
Me at Dover Beach (with Caroline) 2012 |
Things I love about England:
Tea
Clotted cream (even though I am now allergic to it)
Kent
English gardens
Cath Kidston
Wooly jumpers
The old wooden windows and glass everywhere
Lavendar
Bookstores, bookstores!
Well-dressed people of all sizes and ages
Beautiful leather shoes and wellies
Trains
Things I do not love about England:
The mattresses
The plumbing
Raisins in my scones
Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes
Uneven floors and walking surfaces
Crazy pedestrian traffic
Unpredictable weather
The curtains (last time I'll mention it - and I've even included a picture below so you can finally truly sympathize)
Cheers! Thanks for sticking with the blog through bad photo uploads, patchy wifi and a sometimes weary traveler!
I can't wait to hear all about your amazing trip when you get back!!
ReplyDeleteI actually learned to like raisins in my scones after being there (though I was adamantly opposed to them before). But yes, those curtains. Believe me, I sympathize.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see/talk/catch up soon. xoxo
