“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)

I've had enough!

When we came outside into the insipid daylight, I looked up. Clouds, I noticed, were still gathering like a mighty armada of gray battleships waiting to attack once more. We started to look for somewhere to eat. Quickly. Across the street, we saw another large stately home, but I had seen enough for one morning. Even Frances did not press me to see more.

Your Grace--what can I say? I thank thee and proudly wear my mannish award and you see before you a proud Courtier of the Noble Brew.
Rebecca--you are so right! Prodigal Wife always wants to see one more thing...
Kate--you are funny! I like that. Although, really, we are probably virtually slender, don't you think?
