“Half memoir, half travel, A Yank Back to England...is an absolutely wonderful book, not only about going home again but also about love and family and tradition and the passage of the years.”
—Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic (Washington Post)

That's absolutely stunning. Why does it take an English expat to see our country in all it's glory? :-)

Found your blog through Argentum Vulgaris (which I was attracted to because of the amusing Latin name). You've got a new follower. My site is at http://creditcrunchcareerchange.blogspot.com, if you could check it out and let me know what I could do to improve it, I'd be grateful - thanks!

I love ivy covered buildings, although I know it is damaging to brickwork, it still says "England" to me....
I wonder who has the job of keeping it cut away from all those windows ...hmmm.

There is something special about ivy on a building, isn't there?
Afternoon Tea Break, thanks for the compliment but it's worse than you think--Frances took the photo so it took a foreigner!
